Operating Instructions 

 

WARNING:

 Keep fingers and arms away from rotating parts when mechanisms 

are moving. 

 

Operating this walker with any part of the body in the frame can result in injury. 

 

Start slowly with an easy, fluid motion.  If the user is familiar with a different walker, he or she 

may use too much force and the walker may tip over. 

 

Have someone help the user until he or she knows what can cause a tip over and how to avoid 

doing so.  The user should never try a new maneuver  alone until they are sure they can do it 

safely. 

Folding and Unfolding the Walker 

 

WARNING: 

Never let a person’s fingers come between moving parts when the 

walker  is  being  opened  or  closed.  Doing  so  may  cause  a  pinch  or  crush  type 

injury. 

 

Folding: 

Pull pins  (B), 2 places,  and rotate 

handle bar up. 

 

Pull  knobs  (C)  and  fold  sides  in. 

The  knobs  are  spring  loaded, 

release  them  and  they  will 

automatically  lock  back  into 

position.

front.

When  at  the  appropriate  height, 

twist  knobs  clockwise  to  lock  in 

place. This must be repeated on the 

opposite side to keep the handle bar 

level.
