ADJUSTING THE HEIGHT OF ALL FRAME TYPES
In order to ensure the frame is the correct height for the user, it will need
to be adjusted accordingly (your frame will either have a horse shoe clip
or spring pin and can be adjusted as shown in Fig 1 or 2).

WARNING: When using a non-wheeled walking frame the legs
should be set to the same height. When adjusting frames fitted
with wheels it is advisable to set the rear legs one position higher
than the front wheels. This is to compensate for the increased
height of the wheels at the front which can adversely affect the
stability of the frame and the slope of the handles.

Remove the clip by grasping it between thumb
1.
and forefinger and pulling out.
Slide the leg in or out to the ideal position.
2.
Push the clip back firmly into the hole.
