Unfolding the Chair
When both wheels have been secured, grasp both side frames of the wheelchair
and pull apart as far as possible or at least until there is sufficient room to push
down on the sides of the seat canvas.
The chair is fully open when the seat canvas is taut and flat.
Place the seat cushion on top of the canvas with the angled edge towards the front
of the chair. Note that Velcro holds this in place.
Removal of Rear Wheels (Self-propelled Model)
The rear wheels are removed by depressing the pin at the centre of the wheel hub
and withdrawing the wheel.
Fitting Rear Wheels (Self-propelled Model)
The Whirl wheelchair SP is fitted with quick release rear
wheels. It is important to ensure that wheels are correctly
fitted to avoid accidents.
To fit rear wheels depress rubber cover at the centre of the
wheel hub and push the wheel spindle firmly into the axle
bush, ensuring that both ball bearings are fully exposed
beyond the axle bush.
Once located, test the wheel for security by pulling the wheel firmly in an attempt
to remove it without depressing the rubber cover.
Basic Propulsion
To move forwards or backwards, the user should release the brakes, grasp the
handrims (attached to rear wheels) and with a pushing action rotate them
forwards or pull them backwards respectively.
To move to the right, hold the right handrim steady and push forward with the
left handrim. To move to the left, hold the left handrim steady and push forward
the right handrim.

Safe Operation
When using indoors beware of narrow doors, steps, high surfaces,
protruding wall fittings and everyday household items such as children's
toys, electrical appliances etc. Take extra care in kitchen environments.
To ensure stability and safe control you must maintain proper balance at
all times. The wheelchair is designed to remain stable during normal use
as long as you do not move you centre of gravity outside the normal
seating position.
When reaching/bending forward do not lean your body out of the wheelchair
further than the length of the armrests. Do not attempt to reach objects by
sliding forwards to the edge of the seat.
When reaching/bending backwards do not reach any further than your arm
will extend without changing your seating position.
Never attempt to use an escalator or stairway, always use a lift.
Occasionally check that the adjustments of the footrests, armrests and
controller are secure and are set in the most comfortable position for use.
