Height adjustment using the memory function
You have the opportunity to set the height of the forearm supports at a standard setting fitting to your height so
that you easily can find the same height again. This can be necessary when the walker is being transported or
stored as compact as possible. Decide the height of the forearm support tube. Count visible holes at the back of
the tubes. Unscrew the lock wheel
A
. Pull the tube
B
out of the frame. The attached part
C
will now follow the
tube. Move the attached part
C
on the tube
B
so there are equal holes as counted earlier. Fit the memory chip
D
on the tube in the first available hole under the attached part
C
. Push the tube
B
down and into the side frame
E
until the attached part is locked. Screw the lock wheel
A
half in. Pull the tube
B
up until it stops, and then tighten
the lock wheel
A
properly. From now on, when the forearm support tubes are in the lowest position, they will stop
in the pre-set position automatically when pulled up.
Adjusting / checking and maintaining the brakes
Adjusting / checking: Loosen the nut
A
beside the brake. Tighten the brake wire
B
with the adjustment screw
C
.
Adjust both brake blocks so the distance to the wheel surface is approximately 1 mm
D
. Tighten the nut
A
. Make
sure the brakes are not adjusted too tight and pressing into the rubber when the parking brake is on.
Maintaining: Clean the brake block
E
and the brake spring
F
frequently. The wheels can be changed if they are
worn out or damaged.
Using the brakes
Make sure the brakes work before each trip. Each brake handle
A
works on each of the rear wheels.
The walker wheels are made of a special soft rubber, which gives an optimal braking capacity on slippery floor.
Wrong use can cause unsafe situations and damage to the walker:
The walker must not be driven or pushed
with force when the parking brakes are on or when the wheels are partly locked using the brakes. This
indicates incorrect use and can cause wear and tear which makes the tires and brake quality weaker.
Parking brakes:
Push both brake levers
A
forwards until they lock. Both rear wheels are now locked. Pull the
brake levers back to release the parking brakes.
Driving brakes:
Squeeze both brake handles
B
upwards to
reduce speed.
Do not use continuously while the walker is in motion.
Seat and basket
The parking brakes must be on before using the seat
A
. Push both brake levers
B
forwards until they lock. Both
rear wheels are now locked. Sit with your back towards the basket
C
. The basket
D
can carry goods up to 5 kg. It
can be removed and washed separately and gently (hand wash 40°C).
Edge guard and tilt function
Edge guard: The brake blocks
A
, which are in front of the rear wheels, prevent the rear wheels from catching on
corners, door frames etc. Tilt function: To use the tilt function use the front of the foot and press down on the tilt
pedal
B
which is beside the rear wheel. This helps to tilt the walker over thresholds, edges etc.
Carrying the walker
The walker must not be carried by the seat strap or the brake wires. Fold the walker together as shown on the
illustration. Carry the walker by the folded seat bars
A
.
Transport
The walker should be transported in the folded and locked position (see paragraph
Unfolding / Folding
). Ensure
that the walker cannot unfold unintentionally. Be careful when loading the walker into a vehicle, giving attention to
securing of the item.
Storage
The walker should be stored in an upright position. It can be stored in and outside, if stored outside then under
cover.
Material // Recycling
The walker is made of plastic coated aluminium pipes, plastic couplings and material of plastic and polyester.
Most parts can be recycled. Dispose the walker according to the applicable regulations in your country. For
information, please contact your public authorities.
