User manual
• Manoeuvres must only be performed at reduced speeds.
Mode changes such as seat, backrest, caster and footrest positioning, low and high speeds must be performed at a
•
standstill.
If you need to brake in an emergency, simply release the control lever; this will bring the wheelchair to a standstill. If you
•
brake by pushing the joystick backwards or pressing the start / stop button, it causes a sudden and violent stop.
Approach right angle obstacles in forward gear.
•
Never descend or climb an obstacle in reverse.
•
The ground clearance of 10 cm does not allow for the crossing over of a stone, for example, greater than 10 cm when in
•
the centre of the wheels, as you could damage the undercarriage of the chair.
When crossing over an obstacle (sidewalk for example), use the “crossing” mode, cross the front wheels over it gently
•
(2km / h maximum). Follow the procedure in chapter 7.2. driving prole “crossing”.
Never attempt to climb or descend stairs greater than 1 step.
•
If there is a risk of skidding on the sloping ground, stop the wheelchair before it skids and leaves the wheelchair in a
•
position that would prevent you from restarting.
• If you have the steering lock option, it is advisable to use it to lock the right wheels when crossing over obstacles, uneven
ground, or when you lack traction (skidding).
Do not sit in, get out of or park the chair without turning off the electrical system. This will prevent you from activating
•
the chair accidentally.
When getting out of the wheelchair, avoid putting all of your weight on the footrests.
•
The chair could tip forward, especially if the ground is on a slope.
•
Do not leave your seat on a slope.
•
Do not use the «indoor» mode when the casters are retracted, as it is not optimized for 4WD use.
•
Electronics such as the joystick, the power module, and the Out Chair’s connectors are protected according to the
•
protection class IP54 (protection against dust and some water splashes) but cannot, therefore, be used in bad climatic
conditions (example: in case of rain).
The Out Chair may generate electromagnetic interference that may disrupt the operation of other devices. Therefore, it
•
is best to turn off the power when not in use.
Regarding the tyres, the following observations must be taken into account:
The Out Chair’s tyres contain chemicals that may cause reactions with other chemicals (e.g. cleaning products, acid).
•
• Direct exposure to the sun (UV) accelerates tyre aging. This results in a hardening of the surface of the tyre prole that
cracks at the edges.
• Regardless of their wear, the tyres must be changed every 5 years.
• Prolonged use or heating of the tyres (if the Out Chair is near a radiator or exposed to sunlight through a window) causes
permanent deformation of the latter. Therefore, be sure to keep sufcient distance from heat sources.
Charging batteries can produce short circuits. Therefore, the following safety precautions must be taken: chair must be
•
off (joystick and reinforced circuit breaker off).
• Be careful not to put the plus or minus parts of the battery in contact due to risk of being exposed to an electrocution and
/ or burn.
Check the function of the front wheel shock absorbers.
•
During outings in the forest, be careful not to scratch (legs, hands, arms etc) with branches, stones or any other objects
•
that may cross your path.
It is strongly advised to wear a helmet, gloves, over-the-ankle shoes and long pants especially when going out on marked
•
trails.

• In all cases do not exceed an angle of 20 ° relative to the vertical backrest incline while moving.
In all cases do not exceed an angle of 10 ° relative to the horizontal seat incline while moving.
•
When you’re sitting in your chair, on the public road, you are not very visible to motorists. Before crossing a road, check
•
that the ow of trafc has ended and proceed with caution.
Drive at reduced speed in cluttered or narrow passages with doors, paths bordering bushes or with stones.
•
Do not use the Out Chair in trafc lanes. Be very careful when crossing the roads.
•
2.6. Safety tips for 2-wheel drive with casters (if option available)
The retractable caster option allows you to switch from an outdoor wheelchair with 4-wheel drive to a classic wheelchair with
two-wheel drive as the retractable caster system lifts the front wheels up.
When the casters are released you must be:
• Stationary.
• On a at and level surface.
• With the front wheels straight. There is a risk of damage to the front motors, tyres and the caster system if the front wheels
are not straight when the casters are released.
• It is advisable to lock the right-hand drive if you have chosen the additional steering lock option.
• The casters must be retracted as far as they can so that the caster supports are perpendicular to the oor.
•
After the casters are retracted, use the indoor mode (see chapter 7.2. Driving Prole “Indoor”) which is optimized for
this operating mode.
Do not exceed 2.5 km / h and avoid obstacles bigger than 1 cm, this could damage the cylinder and the caster system.
•
Do not cross over obstacles greater than 1 cm at more than 1 km / h.
•
Check that the front wheels are no longer turning and do not touch the ground.
•
2.7. Safety requirements for maintenance, care and disposal
•
Out Chair maintenance must be performed by qualied personnel approved by Logo Silver. This also applies to all repairs
and adjustments carried out. An incorrect setting may void the manufacturer’s warranty and conformity assessment.
The joystick must be turned off and the batteries disconnected for all maintenance work.
•
After removing special screws, nuts or washers; replace them with identical components at all points if damaged and
•
screw them back in rmly.
The Out Chair can be cleaned with water and a soft cloth.
•
• Defective batteries must be returned to the suppliers or Logo Silver for recycling in accordance with environmental
specications.
2.8. User requirements
•
The use of the Out Chair is reserved for competent users. For this reason, the user must be instructed by qualied and
authorized Logo Silver personnel on how to operate the Out Chair.
The user must have read and understood this manual completely.
•
It is forbidden to use the Out Chair in the event of severe fatigue or under the inuence of alcohol or medication.
•
Before the rst use, practice driving the Out Chair on at ground in good visibility, then increase the difculty, with
•
obstacle crossing, descents and climbs. This training helps to avoid dangerous situations.
It is strongly advised that the user wear a helmet.

Activated circuit-breaker Deactivated circuit-breaker
7. Use
The Out Chair is equipped with a joystick controller to guide it.
The PROFILE button is used to navigate between the different driving proles.
It includes 2 or 3 driving proles (depending on the options chosen):
• «Off-road» prole: 4-wheel drive wheelchair propulsion, adapted to most terrain with the ability to go at maximum speed.
• «Crossing» prole: 4-wheel drive propulsion, adapted to obstacle clearance (a step, a sidewalk, etc.) with increased instant
torque and a maximum speed of 5 km / h. It is advisable to use the steering lock in crossing mode if you have the option.
• «Indoor» prole (optional): 2WD propulsion, adapted to use with indoor casters. This mode increases the gyration speed
allowing for standard control of an indoor wheelchair. It is advisable to use the steering lock in indoor mode if you have the
option.
The joystick is used to control the special features via the MODE button (seat tilt, retraction of the casters, leg rests, backrest
tilt, environmental control...).
7.1. «Off-road» driving prole
This driving prole goes at maximum speed and is most suitable for normal use on most terrains (roads, paths, sidewalks, bike
paths, forests, elds...).
Warning
Take account of the recommendations in Part 2. Safety
The maximum speed permitted is 10 km / h.
Pay particular attention on at ground or when climbing, the seat should be positioned as parallel to the ground as possible and the
back as perpendicular as possible. When going downhill the seat should be tilted 10 ° backwards (relative to horizontal) and the
backrest 20 ° backwards (relative to vertical).
The PROFILE button provides access to the «off-road» driving prole. This driving prole makes it possible to reach the highest
speed of 10 km / h when the maximum speed is selected.
Do not attempt to climb obstacles greater than 4 cm in the off-road mode with a speed greater than 3 km / h, you could damage
your wheelchair and you risk falling from your seat.
This driving prole should be used in all cases, except in the case of occasional obstacle clearance or when the casters are
retracted (if option is available).
In this prole, the acceleration is gentle allowing for the autonomy as described in the technical features.
There are 5 different driving speeds, these speeds affect the maximum speed in a straight line but also on a corner. If you are in
a conned space where you need to manoeuvre accurately, it is easier to be more precise when using a lower speed (speed 2
or 3 for example).
When you need to cross slopes, make sure that they do not have an inclination higher than those in the technical characteristics
(see chapter 3. Technical Characteristics). Make sure you are in a conguration that allows you to cross over these slopes
(sufcient adhesion, no obstacles higher than 4 cm in the slope ...).
14
Page 15
On a slope greater than 5°, take care to adopt a gentle drive, avoid jolts and braking suddenly and adjust the seat to be as stable
as possible. Do not attempt to do a U-turn on a lateral slope greater than 5°, as you could fall over sideways. If you cannot climb
a slope, try to reverse as perpendicular as possible up to it. Limit acceleration on slopes and favour an appropriate momentum.
If you have the steering lock option, it is advisable to use it to keep the wheels straight.
You will nd details on joystick control in chapter 7.8.
7.2. «Crossing» driving prole
This procedure should only be used in case you have to cross over occasional obstacles of more than 4 cm high (sidewalks,
bumps, branches ...).
Warning
Take account of the recommendations of Part 2. Safety. Do not attempt to use the off-road or indoor driving prole with speeds of
greater than 3 km / h for obstacles greater than 4 cm.
The maximum speed limits permitted to cross over obstacles are:
• 1 to 2 km / h when the front wheels are in the climbing stage (risk of tipping back if going too fast)
• 2 to 4 km / h when the front wheels are in the climbing stage (if you do not go fast enough there is a risk that the rear
wheels won’t make it over the obstacle)
• 1 to 2 km / h when descending from obstacles (to have ease of use)
Be careful, occasional obstacles must only be crossed perpendicularly and in forward gear (avoiding the slopes). The seat incline
of the chair must be as parallel to the ground as possible and the incline of the backrest as perpendicular to the ground as
possible. The safety belt must be worn at all times. Make sure to respect the technical features of the chair (see corresponding
chapter).
The PROFILE button provides access to the driving prole «crossing». This driving prole is limited to 5 km / h when the
selected speed is at its maximum for the safety and comfort of the user.
If you have the «steering lock» option, it is advisable to engage the lock when the steering is straight. (See chapter 8.3 Steering
lock).
The crossing mode makes it possible to cross over obstacles of up to 15 cm in forward gear at low speeds, as it is programmed
to have instant maximum torque and power (strong acceleration).
The procedure for mounting a major obstacle such as a sidewalk is as follows:
• Align yourself as perpendicularly as possible to the obstacle.
• If you have the steering lock option, it is advisable to switch it on once the front wheels are aligned. To align the front wheels,
you will have to advance forward slightly.
• Approach the obstacle (20 cm minimum) and change the driving prole to «crossing» mode.
• Set the speed between to 3 and 5 in order to have enough speed to clear the obstacle (this may vary depending on the
wheelchair, the driving style and the weight of the user).
• Be careful as the incline of the seat must be as parallel to the ground as possible and the incline of the backrest must be as
perpendicular to the ground as possible. This will avoid any risk of tipping backwards when crossing the front wheels over
the obstacle.
• Advance at low speed to transition to the front wheels (between 1 and 2 km / h).
• When the obstacle is underneath the centre of the chair, use this momentum to accelerate and pass the rear wheels over it
(3km / h maximum). It is necessary to accelerate, as this gives the chair the power necessary to transition to the back wheels.
• When dismounting an obstacle, position yourself as perpendicularly as possible to it and descend slowly (1 to 2 km / h).
When you are in hilly or uneven areas with obstacles of more than 4 cm in height (dips, bumps, stones, branches ...), use the
driving prole «crossing» and do not exceed 3 km / h when passing over these obstacles. If you have the steering lock option,
it is advisable to use it.

Page 16
User manual
When you need to climb over slopes, ensure that they do not have an incline greater than those specied by the technical
features (see chapter 3. Technical Features). Make sure you are in a conguration that allows you to cross over these slopes
(sufcient grip, no obstacles greater than 4 cm on the slope ...). Do not attempt to turn around on a slope greater than that
of the maximum lateral slope as you could tip over sideways. If you cannot climb a slope, try as much as possible to reverse
perpendicular to it. Limit acceleration on slopes in order to keep momentum, if you do not have enough momentum, the
off-road prole will allow you to gain more. If you have the steering lock option, it is advisable you use it to keep the wheels
straight.
7.3. «Indoor» driving prole with casters option
This procedure should only be used if you need to release the casters for indoor use in order to have increased manoeuvrability
(increased turning radius).
Warning
Take account of the recommendations in part 2. Security.
Do not attempt to use the off-road driving or crossing prole when the casters are out.
Do not attempt to use the indoor driving prole when driving 4-wheel drive. The front wheels must be positioned straight when the
casters are pulled out, otherwise the engines and / or the front wheels will be damaged.
The maximum speed limits allowed to cross over an obstacle of 1 cm in the event of the use of the casters is 1.5 km/h.
Be careful not to cross over obstacles greater than 1 cm in height with the casters.
The casters are only intended for indoor use.
Make sure to have the incline of the seat as parallel to the ground as possible and the incline of the backrest as perpendicular to the
ground as possible when you are moving about.
Make sure to respect the technical features of the chair (see corresponding chapter).
The caster option allows you to switch from an outdoor chair to an indoor chair, as it allows you to switch from 4WD to 2WD by raising
the front wheels and decreasing the turning radius.
The procedure for the correct use of this option is as follows:
1. Position the front wheels straight while moving forward slightly.
2. If you have the steering lock it is advisable to use it to lock the front wheels straight.
3. When at a standstill, select the casters option with the MODE button while moving the joystick right or left.
4. Push the joystick forward until the casters have released completely.
5. When the casters are out, the front wheels are raised a few centimetres, they can no longer rotate, and the
forward gear driving speed is limited to 2.5 km / h. If this is not the case, refer to section 10.5. Caster
(optional) Malfunction
6. To use the casters, select the “indoor” driving prole, which is more suitable due to its increased rotation
speed.
7. To return to 4-wheel drive, stop and select the wheel option with the MODE button by moving the joystick
to the right or left.
8. Fully retract the casters by pulling the joystick towards you.
9. The speed limit is now disabled, and the front wheels will once again be powered (4-wheel drive). If this is
not the case, refer to section 10.5. Caster (optional) malfunction.
10. You can now use the off-road or crossing prole suitable for 4WD.
7.4. Manual movement
The wheelchair motors are equipped with magnetic brakes that prevent the wheelchair from rolling on its own when it is at a
standstill. The engine brakes are automatically tightened when the joystick is in the neutral or “off” position.
To push the wheelchair, disengage the magnetic brakes.
A lever for disengaging the brakes of the rear wheels is located above the rear engines:
• When disengaged, the engine brakes are turned off. You must therefore be careful that the wheelchair does not move in an
uncontrolled manner if the ground slopes.
• Always remember to return the release levers to the «on» position after extensive use.
16

7.5.5. Tyre pressure
The tyre pressure needs to be adjusted according to the terrain. In off-road (bumpy ground, uneven surfaces, elds, path, mud,
sand, snow ...) it is recommended to adjust to a low pressure (between 0.4 and 0.5 bar), this will mean a greater comfort of use.
Less inated tyres provide better traction in mud, sand and snow.
To drive on rmer and smoother surfaces (asphalt), tyres can be inated to a maximum pressure of 1.6 bar depending on the
user’s weight, preferences and driving ability. The table below can help you adjust the pressure of your tyres on the asphalt. It is
recommended not to inate the tyres above 1.65 bar.
Tyre ination should be checked weekly. All tyres are equipped with automotive type valves and can be inated with most hand
or foot pumps, or with a compressor.
Warning: under-inated tyres can be dangerous and are more at risk of puncture. Poor ination pressure can affect chair
performance and pose risks.
Warning: over-inated tyres can burst and cause injury. The recommended pressure is also shown on the ank of the tyre.

7.5.6. Seat angle
• The chair is equipped with a seat tilt that allows the user to relax the support points (avoiding the occurrence of pressure
sores) and have more comfort to rest.
• You can access this setting in the MODE menu by choosing «Seat inclination» when scrolling through the options to the
right or left using the joystick. Rear adjustment is done by pulling the joystick towards you and pushing it forward.
• Depending on the terrain, be careful not to be angled too far forward or backward. There is a risk of tipping the
wheelchair over, follow the recommendations for normal driving seat position.
7.5.7. Normal seat position when driving
• For normal use on the at, uphill and over obstacles, position the seat as parallel to the ground as possible with the
backrest as perpendicular to the ground as possible. When going downhill, you must tilt the seat 10 ° backwards from the
ground and the backrest 20 ° backwards from the vertical. These settings are specied to prevent the user from tipping
the chair over which could cause injury.
• These settings should not prevent the user from paying attention when shifting to certain user position limits. See also
Part 2. Security.

7.6. Transfer into the Chair
Danger
Switch off the joystick (lights off), and make sure that the engine brakes are engaged.
The retractable armrests of the chair allow for lateral transfer.
To do this, unscrew the armrest height adjustment knob (16) in order to remove it. If you make the transfer on the joystick side,
consider unhooking the joystick cable (17) before removing the armrest.
23
22
Retractable leg rests allow for a front transfer.
To do this, you need to remove the leg rests by pressing on the button (18), this unlocks the leg rests to the sides. Once the leg
rest is unlocked to the side it is detached by lifting it up.
24
You can also transfer from the front of the chair by shifting the leg rests to the sides.
After a few attempts, the user will be able to transfer from his chair into the Out Chair and vice versa in complete autonomy.

7.7. Switching on and off
Danger
Danger of death in case of malfunction of the engine brakes. When using the Out Chair the engine brakes must be engaged and in
working order.
7.7.1. Electronic system protection
The chair’s electronic control system is equipped with a current control device to prevent circuit damage in the event of
overload.
When the motors are subjected to considerable effort for a prolonged period, the power supplied by the device is
gradually reduced to prevent overheating.
This decrease in power can continue until the complete standstill of the chair. This phenomenon occurs more quickly when
the ambient temperature is raised.
Stopping for several minutes may then be necessary in order to return to maximum power.
When driving is blocked by an impassable obstacle and the user continues forward, forcing the engines to stall for more
than 10 seconds, the electronic system automatically turns off the power.
7.7.2. Circuit Breaker fuse box
In addition to the protection described in the previous paragraph, the entyre wheelchair electrical system is protected
against overload by a circuit breaker fuse located behind the seat.
The circuit breaker shouldn’t blow during normal operation. However, this can happen in the case of a low battery and an
excessive load.
The circuit can be cut via the red button on the circuit breaker. This action cuts power to the controller and other
electrical devices. It also prevents the batteries recharging.
Do not reset the circuit breaker several times in succession because if a problem persists this could damage the electronic
systems.
Do not reset the circuit breaker until there has been a complete inspection of the entyre electrical system (see paragraph
V Battery replacement). If the problem persists, contact us or a distributor.
25
Switch on the circuit breaker (armed) by pressing button 25.
7.7.3. Switching on
• The electronic system will turn on if:
• The circuit breaker is armed
• The joystick is on
• The electromagnetic brakes must be engaged otherwise the wheelchair will not move
24
Page 25
7.7.4. Switching off
• Turn off the joystick
• Check that the brakes are engaged so that the wheelchair does not move
• Be careful not to leave the chair at a standstill with empty batteries as this could affect its autonomy.
7.8. Joystick Control
The joystick controls can be personalized, and different models are available depending on the needs of the user.
7.8.1. Joystick
The joystick controls the speed and direction of the wheelchair. Push the joystick in the direction of your choice. The more
you incline it, the faster you will go. When you release the joystick, the chair will automatically brake and stop.
7.8.2. Powering the joystick
If the wheelchair does not move as intended, release the joystick immediately and turn off the chair. Unless the joystick is
damaged, the chair should stop.
If the joystick is not in the neutral (centered) position when you start the chair, you risk causing a system malfunction.
Release the joystick and restart the chair to reset the system.
WARNING
Always turn the chair off when at a standstill to avoid unexpected movement.
7.8.3. Rain and water
The joystick box is NOT WATERPROOF. The joystick module resists splashes but can be irreparably damaged if water
passes through the rubber seals (such damage is not covered by the warranty).
** We recommend carrying a plastic bag large enough to cover the joystick module and the user’s hand in case of rain.
7.8.4. Joystick cable
If, for any reason the joystick cable is disconnected, be careful not to force it back in again. The plug is polarized and can
only be inserted in one direction.
STOP
Do not insert the plug in the wrong direction, as this may cause irreparable damage to the electronic system. Also, be sure to place the
cable so that it cannot get caught in the seat frame or the base of the wheelchair.
7.8.5. The control programme
The control programme affects the speed, acceleration, deceleration, and braking of the chair. The drive mode settings are
pre-programmed at the factory. If your Magic Mobility dealer changes these settings, please take note.
WARNING
Do not try to reprogram your chair yourself. This task must only be carried out by the wheelchair manufacturer, an authorized
representative of the manufacturer or a qualied technician.

7.9. Driving Tips
Warning
We recommend that the user wear light or reective clothing in the dark and / or activate the lighting of the Out Chair (optional)
Once the power has been turned on (§ 7.4), select the Off-road prole.
The following screen will be displayed next once the control system is started.
Warning
The proles must be activated at a standstill.
The Out Chair can be driven on climbs and descents of 10°. It is prohibited to climb or descend inclines higher than this
percentage. In order to guarantee a safe downhill descent, it is necessary to reduce speed depending on the gradient and to
avoid sudden braking. In order to guarantee a safe climb, reduce speed and do not accelerate too hard.
It is prohibited to cross over a height greater than 15 cm on the Out Chair. Obstacles must be cleared at reduced speed. If
obstacles greater than 15 cm obstruct the path, they must be bypassed. Ground that is too uneven could cause uncontrollable
driving. That’s why you must constantly adjust your speed.
Danger
It is prohibited to drive on a slope (transverse incline) greater than 5°.
7.10. Batteries and Recharging
7.10.1. Batteries
Your electric wheelchair uses long-lasting electrolyte gel batteries that are sealed and require no maintenance. There is
no need to check their electrolyte level. Despite being similar to car batteries, these are different. Car batteries are not
designed for long and deep discharge, and their use in electric chairs could be dangerous.
38
Page 39
Warning
The battery terminals and their accessories contain lead, wash your hands after handling them.
Warning
Batteries contain corrosive chemicals. Only use AGM or gelled electrolyte batteries to reduce the risk of leakage or volatile conditions.
Warning
When changing the batteries, make sure that their terminals do not touch the wheelchair frame.
STOP
Car batteries and chargers should not be used with an electric wheelchair..
7.10.2. Charging the batteries
We recommend only using a supplied, high quality battery charger with your electric wheelchair. Use only the external
charger provided or a Logo Silver approved charger. Do not use a car battery type charger.
Fully charge new batteries before use. Drive the electric wheelchair at home or on private property; do not go too far
until you get used to the commands. After this rst use, fully charge the batteries. After four or ve cycles, the batteries will
operate at their maximum potential.
The charger will not work if the batteries have been depleted at an extremely low voltage. If this happens, call your Logo
Silver dealer for help.
7.10.3. Breaking in the battery
It is especially important to take good care of the battery during the «break-in» period to optimize its lifespan.
Procedure:
• Make sure the battery is fully charged before its initial use;
• Use the chair as normal during the day, avoid carrying excessive loads during the rst ve cycles;
• Fully charge the chair at night, checking that the charger indicates that the battery is fully charged (switches to charge
maintenance mode);
• Repeat steps 2 and 3 the rst 20 times (cycles) to complete the «break-in» procedure.
Notes
A new battery will require more time to fully recharge, but the time required will decrease. Initially, you may nd that you have to limit
use during the day so that the battery is fully charged.
• The battery capacity is limited when it is new, this is perfectly normal, and this will improve during the breaking-in process.

7.10.4. Charging procedure
The battery is charged via a socket located on the joystick module. When the charger is plugged in, the module recognizes
it and stops the chair from moving. The following procedure is applicable for the recommended charger brand (See
separate charger instructions if using an alternative charger).
1 . Make sure the chair is off using the on / off joystick button.
2 . Make sure the circuit breaker fuse is armed so as not to prevent the batteries recharging.
3 . Make sure the charger is turned off before plugging it into the chair.
4 . Plug the charger into the jack on the joystick module.
5 . Connect the charger to the 220 V mains.
6 . Please refer to the manual supplied with your charger for detailed instructions.
Here are some tips for taking care of your batteries:
• Avoid ultra-deep discharges (total discharges reduce the life cycle)
• Do not leave batteries on a low charge for a long period (for example, after a day of use,
• Completely recharge the batteries during the night),
• Once the batteries are empty, recharge them completely (this may take more than eight hours).
Warning
Always protect the batteries from freezing and never try to charge a frozen battery. You could hurt yourself and damage the battery.
Avoid the risk of electric shock. Protect the charger from moisture and extreme temperatures. Do not use the charger if it has been
dropped or damaged. Only use extension cords in good condition.
STOP
Do not place the charger on the chair seat during recharging, as it may become very hot. Always place the charger on the oor or near
the chair when in use. Avoid placing the charger near a heat source such as a radiator or exposing it directly to sunlight.
To optimize the life of your batteries:
• Fully charge the batteries before moving around
• Make sure tyre pressure is correct for the weight and surface
• Avoid stopping too frequently; try to keep a constant speed
• Try to avoid inclines
• Limit the weight of onboard luggage
• Do not operate the control system if the battery is almost empty. Failure to do so may leave the user immobilized in a
dangerous position, such as in the middle of a road. Magic Mobility claims no responsibility for losses of any kind resulting
from a failure to follow these instructions.

7.10.5. Battery gauge on the LCD screen
•
•
•
The batteries are charged if the battery gauge reads red, yellow and green.
You need to charge the batteries as soon as you can if the battery gauge only indicates red and yellow.
You must charge the batteries immediately if the battery gauge only indicates a steady or slowly ashing red.
How does the battery gauge work?
• The battery gauge lets you know what the remaining charge is in the batteries. The best way for you to use the gauge is
to know how it behaves as you drive the wheelchair. Like the fuel gauge in a car, it is not completely accurate, but it will
help you to avoid running out of «fuel».
• When you turn on the control system, the battery gauge gives an estimate of the remaining charge. The battery gauge
gives a more precise reading about a minute after you have started driving the Wheelchair.
• The level of charge in your batteries depends on how you use your wheelchair, the battery temperature and age. These
factors affect the distance you can travel in your chair. All wheelchair batteries will gradually lose their capacity as they age.
• If the measurement of the battery gauge appears to be falling faster than usual, your batteries may be exhausted. When
you change old batteries, replace them with batteries recommended by Magic Mobility. If you use another type, the
battery gauge is likely to be inaccurate.
7.10.6. Public transport
Gelled electrolyte batteries are approved by the FAA (Federal Aviation Administration) and can be transported safely
on-board aircraft, buses and trains. However, Magic Mobility recommends you check the requirements of the carrier in
advance. When you want to y with your chair, contact the airline to communicate the required information. Magic Mobility
has a brochure available on its website entitled «ying with your chair» which covers most related issues.
7.10.7. Disposal and recycling of batteries
If you encounter a damaged or cracked battery, contact your Logo Silver dealer for instructions on the safest way to get rid
of it. We advise you to contact your Logo Silver dealer who will have all the information you need to recycle your batteries.

9.1. Diagnosis and troubleshooting
Electronic repairs should only be carried out by authorized service providers. Improper or incorrect repair can result in an
unsafe adjustment to the wheelchair. Logo Silver accepts no responsibility or losses or damages of any kind that could result
from any improper or incorrect repair carried out.
The electronic system can detect any unusual circumstances concerning motors, brakes, wiring or the electronics module itself.
The security code number is indicated by a ashing error message with this code.
Depending on the severity, the system may allow or prohibit driving. In some cases, driving is only possible at reduced speed.
Display of safety circuit codes:
When the safety circuit begins to prevent wheelchair movement, a diagnostic screen will appear, or an LED will ash.
Penny and Giles have a full website to help you recover the security codes. If you have access to a computer, this can help you
identify simple problems yourself.
http://support.pgdt.com/Online-Diagnostics/Trip-Codes/R-net-Trip-Code-Database.aspx
Contact your Logo Silver provider and give them the information that is displayed on the diagnostic screen. This will help
determine how to solve the problem.
In addition, the following should be veried if possible:
• Turn off the joystick
• Make sure all connectors are securely connected and no wires are stuck
• Check that the engine brake is engaged
• urn on the joystick and try driving the wheelchair again. If the security circuit launches again, switch off the chair and do not
try use it again.
No security code displayed:
If the wheelchair cannot move or if it moves at a reduced speed while no security code is displayed on the screen, it is likely
that one of the lock switches has been activated for your safety.
Lock switches include; the seat inclination, the reclining backrest, the caster release.
The activation of one of these switches affects the driving performance of the chair. Return the seat to its upright position, make
sure that the seat incline is horizontal, retract the casters and check that the problem is resolved.

10. Care and maintenance
10.1. General recommendation
Note
Only Logo Silver spare parts can be used. Failure to comply with this condition results in the loss of warranty rights.
If you encounter problems during maintenance, consult Logo Silver or your dealer.
The Out Chair should be checked once a year by qualied staff approved by Logo Silver.
If you notice symptoms such as a noisy motor, a frayed wiring harness, damaged connectors, uneven tyre wear, unusual movement, a
broken part or any other troubling signs between two maintenance periods, please contact your Logo Silver dealer immediately.
Avoid exposing your electric wheelchair to moisture (rain, snow, fog, salt water or cleaning products). Such exposure could damage your
chair - see section 10.2. Protection against corrosion. If your electric wheelchair comes into contact with water, sponge it as well as
possible with a cloth and let it dry for 10 to 12 hours in a warm room. Check that the joystick and brakes are working properly before
using the wheelchair. If you have any doubts or notice any malfunction in your chair, please contact your Silver Logo dealer.
Do not leave the wheelchair exposed to rain or the elements. Do not use the wheelchair in the shower and do not leave it in a wet
bathroom while you take a shower.
Do not store the wheelchair outdoors or in a moist environment.
Direct exposure to rain or moisture will cause electrical and mechanical malfunctions and risks rusting the chair prematurely.
Avoid hitting the controller, especially the joystick.
Clean the controller regularly.
Avoid exposure to extreme temperatures.
Place the controller cable so that it cannot get caught in the seat frame or base of the electric wheelchair.
Do not charge the chair under extreme temperatures.
45
User manual OUTCHAIR

Page 46
User manual
Some parts of the wheelchair are vulnerable to extreme temperatures. It is possible that the batteries could freeze. The temperature
at which the batteries freeze depends on a certain number of factors, including their chemical composition, charge level and frequency
of use. When the temperature is high, the electric wheelchair can run at a scaled down speed. This is a safety function built into the
controller to protect the motor and other components.
The conguration of the electric control box must ONLY be carried out by an individual authorised by Logo Silver. Final controller settings
may affect other wheelchair activities.
If a non-certied individual performs repairs on any of these devices, the warranty will be void and the equipment may be damaged.
Do not modify or have your wheelchair modied in any way that is not authorized by Logo Silver. Unauthorized modications constitute
a remanufacturing of the wheelchair. The person or group making the changes will be fully responsible for the wheelchair in accordance
with the Therapeutic Goods Act (TGA).
10.2. Protection against Corrosion
The power chair has been manufactured using a variety of processes to resist corrosion. Although efforts have been made to
ensure the long-term durability of the product, we cannot guarantee the absence of corrosion on the chair throughout its
service life. Prevention, protection and maintenance measures are essential to reduce the risk of corrosion on the wheelchair.
The most common causes of corrosion of the electric wheelchair are:
• Paint or undercoat peeling caused by impacts from stones and other hard objects.
• Accumulation of salt, soil and moisture on the frame components.
• Exposure to highly corrosive environments such as seaside, rivers and streams
10.2.1. Peeling paint
If the paint on the frame of your power chair or other metal components is peeling off and the metal underneath is visible,
the following procedure is recommended to repaint the affected area:
• Lightly sand the exposed area to atten and remove any remaining paint chips. Be sure to remove any visible surface corrosion.
• Apply a cleaning solvent to remove dust, dirt and grease.
• Apply primer to the area to be repainted.
• After a suitable drying time, apply the touch-up paint, making sure it covers all exposed areas. Once dry, the area should
now be protected from corrosion.
• If it is not practical to repaint the area, use a «rust converter» type product to neutralize rust and prevent it from
spreading.
10.2.2. Beach, salt water and coastal areas
• Salt water and the surrounding environments are highly corrosive.
• Exposure to coastal areas will increase the risk of corrosion, even if the chair is not used on the beach. Seaside air usually
contains much more salt than on inland. The highest corrosion rates are generally found about 500 meters from the coast.
If you live near the coast or regularly use the wheelchair near the beach, please refer to sections 10.2.4 and 10.2.5. below
for maintenance tips.

10.2.3. Snow and Ice, Salt Roads and Pathways
Avoid using the wheelchair on salted surfaces if possible, as salt can have a detrimental effect on wheelchair components. If
the chair has been used on wet, icy or salty surfaces, see sections 10.2.4 and 10.2.5. below for maintenance tips.
10.2.4. Cleaning after use
If the electric wheelchair has been used in a coastal, wet or salty environment, we recommend that you clean it thoroughly
to reduce the risk of corrosion. Once inside, clean all parts of the chair with a cloth soaked in hot water. The chair should
not under any circumstances be pressure washed. It must then be stored in a warm and dry environment. It can also be
helpful to remove as much sand and / or salt as possible.
10.2.5. Preventative Maintenance
Before using your chair in a moist or corrosive environment, it is advised you protect it by carefully coating all metal
surfaces with a waterproong product. This product may for example be an oil-based aerosol (such as WD40) or a
lanolin-based dispersant (such as Lanotec). This coating should act as a barrier between the water and the painted metal
surfaces of your electric wheelchair. A lubricant (such as WD40) can be sprayed onto the tilt mechanisms to protect them.
The underside of the wheelchair (battery compartment and frame components) can also be sprayed with the aid of a ramp
or another approved lifting device.
IMPORTANT
Your wheelchair is equipped with electric motors and must NEVER be driven into water, a river, a stream or the sea.
10.3. Daily checks
Joystick: Once the control system is turned off, check that the joystick is not distorted or damaged and that it returns to the
center when you release it. Make sure that the joystick boot is not torn or cracked and that all electrical connections are
properly carried out.
STOP
Do not use the joystick if the boot is torn or cracked. If the joystick boot is torn or cracked, have it replaced IMMEDIATELY.
10.4. Weekly Checks
Electric Brakes: This test must be performed on a at surface with at least one gauge of free space around the chair.
• Turn on the control system.
• Check that the battery gauge stays on or ashes slowly after one second.
• Push the joystick slowly forward until you hear the electric brakes come into operation. It is possible that the chair might
start to move.
• Release the joystick immediately, you should hear each electric brake engage after a few seconds.
• Repeat the test three times by pushing the joystick backwards, left and right.
Operation: If your wheelchair is equipped with headlights, turn signals or a seat adjusting cylinder, check that they are working
correctly.
Connectors: Make sure all connectors are plugged in and are not damaged.
Cables: Inspect the cables to make sure they are not damaged.
Joystick Boot: Inspect the rubber boot around the base of the joystick to make sure it is not damaged or cracked. Check
visually only, do not handle the boot.
Assembly: Make sure the controller is securely attached to your wheelchair. Do not over-tighten the screws.
Tyre Pressure: Make sure the tyre pressure meets the specications given in section 7.5.5. pneumatic pressure. Check tyre
wear.
STOP
If any of these checks reveal a problem, please contact your Magic Mobility dealer for repair.
