Upper frames 

 

Height adjustment

Figure 7a: 

To adjust the frame up or down, 

use use trigger (A).

Standard upper

The standard upper frame adjusts in height 
and provides support for various prompts 
and accessories.

Dynamic upper

To prevent serious 
injury:

•  Keep hands clear of dynamic body 

support mechanism while Pacer is in use.

•  When dynamic weight-bearing and/or

lateral weight shift mechanisms are 
unlocked, position arm prompts so 
that client’s hands are kept clear of 
frame and column.

Figure 7b: 

The dynamic upper provides 

dynamic body support by allowing up/
down and side-to-side movement of the 
upper frame. 

To lock or unlock vertical up/down 
movement (dynamic weight-bearing), lift 
upper frame to unweight system and use 
trigger (B). 

To lock or unlock side-to-side movement 
(dynamic weight-shift ), use trigger (C).

Medium, large and XL only:

The default force range of the dynamic 
weight bearing system will be fi ne for 
most users. However, it can be adjusted if 
needed, by turning screw (D) with a 3/16" 
hex wrench. Turning the screw clockwise 
increases force. 

To avoid damaging the 
DWB system, stop turning 

when the screw bottoms out (maximum 
force) or when the screw becomes loose 
(minimum force).
