**NOTES: Some technical specifications vary with weight of user, type of terrain, useage, temperature and many other influences. It would not be fair to state exact figures. Innovation In Motion suggests that chair type and suitability are selected in conjunction with a referral from a qualified health professional and that users trial products prior to purchase.

Where to go today.....
         
Out into the sun and sand.....
 

Driving on soft sand
It is possible to drive the chair on many types of soft and hard sand, however the climbing ability of the chair may be reduced in some angles of very soft sand. It is important when driving on sand not to have too low of a speed. We suggest that speeds lower than 4 are not used. Should any of the wheels start to skid or slip on the sand, continue driving as they will gain traction as the chair moves along. If at all possible, have an attendant with you at the rear of the chair in case required.

                                                 
                         An extreme change of temperature.....

Driving on snow
It is possible to drive the chair on snow covered surfaces, however this can be a most hazardous situation, so great care must be taken. If at all possible have an attendant with you at the rear of the chair in case required. Never drive the chair at an angle across a snow covered surface. Always drive the chair at speeds no more than speed 3.

         
                           Now this is steep.....

Steep downward slopes
Before driving down a steep slope, if your chair is equipped with Tilt-In-Space, tilt the seat back to roughly the angle of the slope. This will assist you in going down the slope in a comfortable sitting position and will add grip to the rear of the chair. If your chair is not equipped with Tilt-In-Space, make sure you are sitting as far back in the seat as possible and that your upper body will not fall forward. Never try driving down a slope that you feel concerned about. Always drive straight down a slope, or at a very slight angle if necessary. Never try driving across a steep slope since it is possible to tip the chair over in this situation. If at all possible, have an attendant with you at the rear of the chair in case required.

Steep climbing slopes
Before driving up a steep slope, if your chair is equipped with Tilt-In-Space or Power Recline Backrest, ensure both are in the fully upright position. Always drive straight up a steep slope. Never, if possible, drive sideways up a steep slope. If possible shift your weight to the front of the chair as this will aid the front wheels in maintaining traction. Should the front wheels start to lose traction and start fluttering left and right, continue to drive up the slope at the fastest safe speed. The rear wheels will continue to steer and power the chair. If at all possible, have an attendant with you at the rear of the chair in case required.

                                                 
                                     It sure looks like a long way down.....

Obstacle climbing
The chair will climb numerous obstacles, but also has some self limiting functions to ensure some level of safety. The center mounting frame for the one piece footplate that is located between the front wheels just behind the fibreglass cowl, limit steps, curbs and obstacles to a height of 4 inches and the rear frame bar to a height of 3 inches. This does not mean that obstacle climbing is limited to these. It means that obstacles greater than this cannot pass directly under the chair. When climbing obstacles, take great care not to tip the chair over.

         

Driving through water or mud
It is possible to drive the chair through limited depths of water or mud, but great care must be taken to ensure that you do not become bogged or the chair damaged. We recommend that you do not drive the char through more that 2 inches of water or mud. When driving through water, keep the speed low (1 or 2), and if possible drive the chair slowly over a dry surface when exiting the water to limit the amount of moisture that may splash under the chair.

Allowing water to enter the electronics, wiring, motors or Joystick will cause damage to these systems and should be absolutely avoided. When driving through mud, keep the speed of the chair at a moderate pace, so as not to allow the wheels to spin excessively or slow down too much. Driving through water or mud should only be done on flat areas. If at all possible, have an attendant with you at the rear of the chair in case required. Continued use in salt water will cause excessive corrosion, avoid this at all times.

 

Q. Can the joystick be mounted on either side, left -handed or right-handed?
A. Yes, the standard DX2 is interchangeable. The slide in mounting stem may be unbolted to swap to either side.

Q. Can I have Driving Lights?
A. Yes, the standard DX2 may be fitted to operate front and rear lights  as well as turn indicators and hazard flashers.

Q. Can I go faster or have more power?
A. No, the Frontier has been optimized for it's speed, torque and battery range characteristics using current technology.  To change any of these would mean to reduce one of the others.  Magic Mobility strives to keep ahead of the latest advances in technology and incorporate them into our products.

Q. Can the Frontier have Power Tilt-In-Space Seating or a Power Reclining Backrest?
A. Yes, various power options are available including Power Tilt-In-Space, Power Reclining Backrest, Power Elevating Leg rests and Tilt-In-Space with the Power Reclining Backrest.

Q. Can the Frontier be pushed manually?
A. Yes, each of its motors may be individually disengaged and the chair moved by an attendant.

Q. Will I be able to use my existing seat cushion (e.g. JAY)?
A. Yes, the standard MPS seat is available with a flat board seat base to accept an after market seat cushion or alternatively our Rehab Seating System is available to accept an after market seat cushion and a clamp on backrest. XL Seating is available in MPS and Rehab Seating Systems. Pediatric Seating is available in our Rehab Seating System.

Q. Are there alternative control systems available to drive the Frontier?
A. Yes, a wide range of controls is available from Hand Control Joysticks with external switches to chin and head controls. Ask your supplier for a complete listing.

Q. Is the Frontier waterproof?
A. No. While the electronics systems used in the Extreme are certified to the International Standard IP54, an environmental standard, getting the X5 wet may damage the electronic components and is not recommended. It is possible to drive the Frontier through shallow puddles of water without concern provided caution is used.

Q. Will the Frontier drive on snow?
A. Yes, the Frontier has been used successfully on snow, although on steeper snow covered and icy tracks it is possible for the knobby tires to lose traction.

Q. What sort of suspension is on the Frontier?
A. The X5 has an independent articulating suspension that allows the drive tires to stay on ground even when traversing an obstacle, thus increasing traction.

Q. Will it really drive on beach sand?
A. Yes, the Frontier can easily cope with soft beach sand. The actual performance, speed and battery life vary with user weight, terrain conditions, battery charge and tire pressure.

Q. How steep an incline can it climb?
A. The X5 can climb a slope of 1:3.5 or 15 degrees. Performance is improved using higher speeds but caution must be used to insure user safety.

Q. What colors does it come in?
A. The Frontier is available in 4 solid color bases: Black, Navy, Flaming Red, and Passionate Purple.

Q. I am a quadriplegic and cannot hold a normal ball joystick, are there other options available?
A. Yes, we have a number of joystick ends available including a wrist plate/goal post specifically for this use.

Q. Can the Extreme have swing-away leg rests?
A. Yes, because of the difference in design, the Frontier can have swing away leg rests whereas the Extreme cannot.
