2. Setup and Installation

1. Unpack the Bag: Carefully remove the Wheelyscooter bag from its packaging. Inspect for any signs of damage.
2. Positioning: Place the large black material square of the bag against the backrest of your wheelchair or mobility scooter. Ensure the reflective strips face outwards.
3. Secure with Hook-and-Loop Straps: Utilize the hook-and-loop straps located on the back of the bag to firmly attach it to the backrest. Adjust the straps to achieve a snug fit, preventing the bag from swaying during movement.
4. Fasten Buckles (Wheelchairs only): For wheelchairs, fasten the additional buckles to the wheelchair's push handles. This provides extra stability and support.
5. Optional Crutch/Cane Pockets: If using crutches or a walking stick, ensure the long side pockets are zipped onto the main bag. These pockets are detachable for when they are not needed.

3. Operating Instructions

• Main Compartment: The large main pocket features two zippers for easy access. Use this for larger items such as groceries, books, or personal belongings.
• Front Pocket: A zippered front pocket provides quick access to smaller items like keys, wallets, or mobile phones.
• Side Pockets for Crutches/Canes: The two 48 cm long side pockets are designed to hold crutches or walking sticks. Secure these items using the integrated drawstring at the top of each pocket.
• Reflective Strips: The reflective strips on the front of the bag enhance visibility in low-light conditions, contributing to user safety. Ensure these strips are not obstructed.
• Double Top Handle: The bag includes a double handle on top for easy carrying when detached from the mobility device.

4. Maintenance and Care

• Cleaning: Wipe the bag clean with a damp cloth and mild detergent. Do not use abrasive cleaners or solvents.
• Drying: Allow the bag to air dry completely before storing or reattaching to your mobility device.
• Storage: Store the bag in a cool, dry place when not in use.
• Inspection: Regularly inspect the hook-and-loop straps, buckles, zippers, and fabric for any signs of wear or damage. Replace the bag if significant damage is observed to ensure continued safety and functionality.
• Showerproof: The bag is showerproof, meaning it offers protection against light rain. It is not fully submersible or waterproof for heavy downpours.

5. Troubleshooting

• Bag feels loose:

  Ensure all hook-and-loop straps are securely fastened and tightened around the backrest. For wheelchairs, verify that the buckles are properly attached to the handles.

• Crutches/Cane not secure in side pockets:

  Confirm that the drawstring at the top of the side pockets is pulled tight and secured around the crutch or cane. Ensure the items are fully inserted into the pockets.

• Zippers are stiff:

  Apply a small amount of zipper lubricant or a graphite pencil to the zipper teeth to improve smooth operation.

• Reduced visibility of reflective strips:

  Clean the reflective strips with a damp cloth to remove dirt or grime. Ensure no items are obstructing the strips when the bag is in use.
