Height adjustment / Forearm
supports / Handles
Height adjusting: Pull the release
levers (A) upwards. Use a little body
weight to press down to decrease the
height or reduce the counterweight
to increase the height. Release the
levers at the required height.
Recommended height: Stand with
relaxed shoulders and position your
elbows at a 90-degree angle (B). The
level of the forearm supports should
align to the level of your elbows. To help
ensure a correct posture, a professional
should help you with the adjustment of
the forearm supports and the handles.
Adjusting the forearm supports:
The forearm supports can be adjusted
individually. Unscrew the lever under the
forearm support (C) until the cushion is
moveable. Adjust to the required position
and tighten the screw.
NB! If the lever
protrudes, it can be dangerous. Pull it down
and rotate it away to be safely hidden.
Adjusting the handles (TOPRO Taurus
H Premium): Unscrew the lock wheel
(D). Pull the handle (E) backwards or
push it forwards and tilt it to the desired
angle (F). After adjusting the handle,
tighten the lock wheel (D). Be careful to
not hurt your fingers in the process.

TOPRO Taurus H Premium – rear wheels:
Step on the foot brakes on the rear
wheels (A) once until you hear a click-
ing sound. The wheels are now in the

Hand brakes
(Taurus H Premium)
Ensure the brakes are working properly
before every trip.
Do not drive or push
the forearm walker while the parking
brakes are activated or when the wheels
are partly locked using the brakes.
Parking brakes: Push both brake levers
forwards (A) to activate the parking
brakes. Be aware that the lever has some
resistance before it stops and locks the
rear wheel. Pull both brake levers towards
you to release the parking brakes.
Driving brakes: Pull both brake levers
towards you (B) to reduce speed. It is
a two-handed braking system, which
means that the brake is activated for
the rear wheel on the same side of
the walker as the brake lever. When
applying only one of the brakes, the
walker will turn to the same side when
walking. Releasing the lever will stop
the braking.
Do not continuously use the
brakes when the walker is in motion.
Adjusting / checking: Loosen the nut
(C). Tighten / loosen the brake cable with
the adjustment screw (D). Ensure that
the brakes are working properly and
only touching the wheels when in use.
Adjust the brakes evenly on both sides.
Maintenance: Inspect the brakes regular-
ly by following the information above. For
an optimal grip, wipe off the tires with a
damp cloth. The wheels and brakes can be
replaced if they are worn out or damaged.

Transport
The walker can be transported either in

be set in the lowest height position to
save space and facilitate handling. Ensure
that the foot brakes are activated. Be
careful when loading the walker into a
vehicle, giving attention to securing it.
Storage
The walker should be stored indoors and
in an upright position. Do not place heavy
items on top of it while stowed away.
Cleaning
The walker can be hosed and washed
with normal household detergents.
Do not use scrub detergents,
steam- or high-pressure cleaners.
