frame. Install the other rear leg into the rear, right side of
the frame.
3. Make sure snap buttons are fully extended.
WALKER HEIGHT ADJUSTMENT
Adjust the height of the walker so that the top,
rear bar is aligned with the middle of the user's buttocks.
To do this, press the snap buttons on each leg and slide
the leg up or down as needed.
After installing or adjusting the legs, always
check the following:
1. All four leg extensions are adjusted to the same
height, using the same snap button hole.
2. The snap buttons protrude fully from the adjustment
holes.
3. All wheels face toward the outside of the walker.
4. If you have rear legs with tips, the bend points the tip
towards the front of the walker.
5. If you have swivel front wheels, the plates are
parallel with the ground and protrude from the walker as
shown in Figure 5.
6. If you have rear wheels, the locking mechanism on
the rear wheels should prevent the walker from rolling
backward.
SEAT INSTALLATION
Some walkers are shipped with the seat
removed. Refer to figures 3 & 7 and install the seat as
follows:
1.
Locate the 2 unused holes, which are 3” apart,
pass front to back through the leg brace and the rear
leg on each side of the walker frame, and are located
between the diagonal crossmember and the lower
latch tube.
2.
Place the 4 provided bolts, 3 ½” long, through the
holes from the back side of the walker (the leg brace
side).
3.
Install the seat assembly as shown by next
passing the 4 bolts through holes in the seat tube. The
seat has 4 possible positions, so make sure the bolt
passes through the hole at the same height on each
side of the walker.
4.
Add 2 washers and the black cap nut (provided)
to each bolt.
5.
Use 9/16” wrench to securely tighten each nut.

SEAT HEIGHT ADJUSTMENT
The seat height has 3” of adjustability. Make
sure to adjust the walker to the desired height before
adjusting the seat height. To change the seat height,
refer to figure 3 and change as follows:
1. Locate the 4 bolts passing through the rear leg
brace of the walker through the seat tube.
2. Use a 1/2” wrench to remove black cap nut, and
then remove washers.
3. Repeat on each of the nuts and bolts.
4. Move seat tube to desired position.
5. Reinstall seat at new position as detailed under
“SEAT INSTALLATION.”
UNLOCKING AND LOCKING THE SWIVEL WHEELS
To unlock the front wheels so that they swivel,
rotate each swivel latch around and down, as shown,
until it rests against the bolt that serves as an axle for the
wheel.
NOTE: You can limit the amount of swivel by adding
swivel limiters as an accessory.
