Assembly
• Remove the walker parts from all packaging.
• Take the top support frame and open it fully by pulling outwards on both sides (it will ‘click’ into place
and lock when fully opened).
(Figure 1)
• Once the top frame has been fully opened, attach the middle support frame by inserting the ends into
the base of the top support.
NOTE:
the cross bar must be facing upwards.
(Figure 2)
• With the middle support in place, insert the rear legs with skis into place. The metal buttons will ‘click’
and lock into place.
(Figure 3)
• To adjust the height of the walker, remember to set all legs in the same pin holes to balance the walker.
(Figure 3.1)
• Make sure the wheels are facing outwards away from the body of the walker
(Figure 4)
. Follow the
above instructions and insert the front legs with wheels.
• Attach the front and side bags by adjusting the Velcro straps accordingly.
The Right Fit
Make sure your walker is completely open before you walk with it and ensure the walker is locked in place
and the frame is rigid. It is important that you adjust your walker to a height that is high enough to hold
comfortably.
1. With your arms resting at your sides adjust the walker so that the handles are at the height of the wrist.
2. With your hand placed on the hand-grip, your elbow should be flexed 15˚- 20˚.
3. If you find that you have to stoop down or bring your arms up to reach the walker, adjust the legs to find
the best height.
Walking With Your Walker
1. Place your hands equally on either side of the walker. This will distribute your weight evenly across the
walker and make it safer for the walker to support you when you move.
2. Push the walker and move it in front of you a distance equal to one footstep, aligning the back legs of
the walker with your toes.
3. Step into the frame of the walker with both feet, keeping both hands firmly on the walker’s handgrips.
Once you’ve completed a step this way, begin the next step by moving the walker forward again.
