USING THE STILTS
WALKING PRECAUTIONS
Always take short, deliberate steps and walk with the stilts well apart. Large or
over-extended steps can cause the springs to bottom out and place undue
stress on the stilt components. This could significantly reduce the life of the
stilts or result in breakage.
REGULAR INSPECTION
Before use, inspect both stilts to ensure they are completely free of damage
or undue wear, and that all the nuts and bolts are tight.
ADJUSTING FOR BEST FIT
STRAP TIGHTENING
IMPORTANT: When mounting the stilts, always attach the leg bands first,
before the feet. When dismounting, always unbuckle the leg bands last after
unbuckling the foot straps.
WALKING AND WORKING
LEARNING TO WALK
IMPORTANT: Read the safety section on page 4 before attempting to use the
stilts. In order to develop safe working habits it is very important to observe the
safety precautions when learning to walk on the stilts.
1. Select a clear and level area (preferably near a wall) but away from
doors, floor openings, stairwells and windows etc. With the help of a
colleague, mount the stilts and stand with your legs comfortably apart.
Acquire your balance and relax.
2. Take slow, deliberate, short steps while keeping the stilts fairly well apart.
Ensure that each step completely clears the floor. You should never drag
or shuffle the feet. With an assistant on hand, walk slowly back and forth,
making a U-turn to reverse direction.
3. Repeat the process until you feel comfortable and practice walking until
you feel secure and are able to walk without an assistant. If needed,
adjust the strut tubes and clamps until your stilts and legs are straight and
comfortable.
