3.2 Height adjustment
You can adjust the height of the TOMTAR G-2E
walking frame to suit your own. The process de
-
scribed below must be carried out for all four
legs of the walking frame.
1.
Press in the spring pin of the first tube and
twist the tube round very slightly so that it is
free to move (Fig. 3).
2.
You can then set the tube to the required
height by sliding it up or down,
3.
allowing the spring pin to engage in the ap
-
propriate hole. Make sure that you clearly
hear the spring pin click into place and check
that it is noticeably protruding from the hole.
4.
Now repeat the process for the other three
legs.
5.
All four legs must be set to the same height.
WARNING
Tipping danger!
All four legs must be set to
the same height so that the walking frame does
not tip over when you put your weight on it.
Danger of falling!
The spring pins of all four
legs must click securely into place once the
height has been adjusted. Otherwise, the legs
of the frame could accidentally collapse when
you put your weight on it and you could fall.

NOTE
To enable correct use of the walking frame, it
must be adjusted to your individual height. When
you are standing upright with relaxed arms, the
hand grips should be level with your wrists.
Your specialist retailer or health care professional
will adjust the height for you.
