Directional Lock
Total Lock
The handle bars are designed to be use for balance
while using the Lite
Gait®. To adjust the height of the
handle bars loosen each knob in equal portions. The
knobs should only need to be turned once to free the
handle bars. Once the knobs are loose, slide the
handle bars to the desired height. Hand tighten both
knobs equally. The knobs should only need to be
tightened until snug. Over tightening of the knobs
may damage the handle bars.

the button on the quick release
handle bar pin and pull outward.

length and orientation. Press the
button on the quick release handle
bar pin and insert handle bar pin.
The pin can be inserted vertically

Using Your Lite Gait®
Locking and Unlocking Casters
Total Locking Casters
Total locking casters are indicated by a red
sticker on the locking lever. To lock the total
locking casters, press the tab until the brake snaps
into place. The caster will lock the swivel of the
caster and rotation of the wheel. Locking all four
casters will make the device stationary.
Directional Locking Casters
Directional lock casters are indicated by a green
sticker in the locking lever. To lock the
directional locking casters, press the tab and align
the caster with the frame. Once Aligned this locks
the swivel of the casters and is beneficial for
walking in a straight path or placing Lite
Gait® over
a treadmill. Once the unit is positioned over a
treadmill, all four caster brakes need to be locked
Directional Locking Casters with Treadmill
Position LiteGait® near the treadmill (or where
you wish the patient to begin walking).
Roll LiteGait® towards the front of the
treadmill, until the casters line up parallel
to the treadmill (or parallel to the path the
patient
will follow—a hallway for
example).
Press the directional locks to lock swivel of
casters
LiteGait® can now be easily rolled back and forth
over the treadmill or on a straight path in the
therapy room or hallway.
NOTE: While locking the caster prevents rolling of the
unit, it DOES NOT prevent the unit from sliding on a
sloped, slippery floor. The unit should only be used on a
flat floor away from stairs or ramps. NEVER leave a pa-
tient unattended in the unit.
