Using as a walking aid
When using the wheeled walker as a walking aid, it is recommended
both hands be placed firmly on the handles, with fingers curled around
the brake levers so that the walker can be stopped immediately in case
of an emergency.
The ideal walking technique is to push the walker forward to a
comfortable arm’s length, then step in towards the walker, and repeat.
Operation
Operating the brakes
To stop the wheeled walker, gently squeeze the brake
levers until the walker comes to a complete stop.
Locking the brakes (park brake function)
The brakes should be locked whenever using the
walker as an aid to sit or stand, or as a temporary seat,
or when leaving the walker unattended.
To lock the brakes, push down on the brake levers
until they click. Always check the brake lock is activated
before sitting on the seat.
To release the brake lock, pull up on the brake lever
until the lock disengages. Never release the brake
lock while sitting on the seat.

Using as a temporary seat
Before using the wheel walker as a temporary seat, ensure
the wheeled walker is placed on a safe, level surface.
Before sitting, lock both brake levers and ensure the
lock is properly activated or serious injury may result.
