Ultra Compact Wheeled Walker

Using as a Walking Aid

When using the wheeled walker as a walking aid,
it is recommended both hands be placed firmly on
the handles, with fingers curled around the brake
levers so that the walker can be stopped

Operating the Brakes

To stop the wheeled walker, gently squeeze
the brake levers until the walker comes to a
complete stop.

Locking the brakes

(park brake function)

The brakes should be locked whenever using the
walker as a temporary seat or when leaving the
walker unattended.

To lock the brakes, push down on the brake levers
until an audible ‘click’ is heard. Always check the
brake lock is activated before sitting on the seat.

To release the brake lock, pull up on the brake lever
until the lock disengages. Never release the brake
lock while sitting on the seat.

immediately in case of an emergency.

The ideal walking technique is to push the walker
forward to a comfortable arm’s length, then step in
towards the walker, and repeat.
