Classic science toy!
We’ve adapted this classic gyroscope toy so everyone can enjoy the
magnetic and centripetal forces at work with the Whirly Wheel.
Activate the wheel by pressing the switch and fun, lively music
plays while the gyro wheel moves up and down and around. Comes
with two gyro wheels with LED lights for an exciting light show.
Batteries on the LED lights can be removed to deactivate the lights
for individuals who are seizure prone. On/off volume control; base
is clampable. Size: 18"L x 8"W x 14"H. Requires 2 C Batteries.
Weight: 3 lbs.
Operation:
1. Whirly Wheel requires two C size batteries Use alkaline
batteries only (e.g. Duracell or Energizer brand). Do not use
rechargeable batteries or any other type of batteries because
they supply lower voltage and the unit will not perform properly.
Never mix old and new batteries together or different brands or
types together.
2. The battery compartment is located on the back of the unit. To
remove the battery compartment cover, unscrew the small
Phillips Head screw, and then slide the cover off. Install new
batteries, being careful to observe proper (+) & (-) battery
polarity. Replace cover and screw. Turn the On/Off/Volume
switch to On and adjust to desired level.
3. Connect the unit to any external capability switch via the jack,
located on the side of the unit. Whirly Wheel is equipped with a
1/8-inch jack, for use with capability switches with a 1/8-inch
plug. If you need to use a 1/4- to 1/8-inch adapter, it must be a
mono adapter, like our #1170, not stereo.
4. Make sure that the connections between the external capability
switch and the adapter (if applicable) and the jack on the Whirly
Wheel are plugged in all the way. There should be no gaps.
5. Whirly Wheel comes with two gyro wheels with LED lights for an
exciting light show. Batteries (Uses Three LR44 button type) on
the LED lights can be removed to deactivate the lights for
individuals who are seizure prone. To do this remove the 3
Phillips Head screws from the Gyro wheel (as shown in photo 1.
On back cover). Next lift cover off and remove batteries.
Replace cover and screws. When putting the cover back on
make sure to line up the grove or track so the cover seats
properly. Place one of the Gyro wheels on the metal rails as
shown in Photo. 2 on back cover.
6. Begin play by activating your external capability switch fun, lively
music plays while the gyro wheel moves up and down and
around. If the Gyro is moving to slow, release the switch and
press it again. The Gyro should now move faster. Release the
switch, and the music and rotation of the arm will stop. The
Gyro itself may still move for a short period of time. Great for
teaching cause and effect and eye tracking.
Troubleshooting:
Problem: The Whirly Wheel does not move and no music.
Action #1: Check batteries for proper installation and freshness.
Action #2: Try your external capability switch with another
toy/device to rule out the switch as the source of the problem.
Problem: The music does not play.
Care of Unit:
Whirly Wheel can be wiped clean with any household multi-purpose
cleaner and disinfectant.
Do not submerge the unit, as it will damage the contents and the
electrical components.
Do not use abrasive cleaners, as they will scratch the surface of the
unit.
