the information above.
Using the foot brakes

Step on the foot brakes

on the rear wheels or when required on all wheels until you hear a clicking sound. The
wheels are now in a locked position
B
. To release the wheels, step on the back of the foot brake pedal so that it
comes up again.
Charging the battery
9
It is important to charge the battery on a regular basis to prolong the battery life. We recommend charging the
battery every 24 hours. Regular charging will improve the performance of the battery. Please note: If the walker is
not used over a long period of time, then the battery should be taken out and placed in the charger otherwise it will
lose power and efficiency. It takes approximately 5–8 hours to fully charge the battery.
Charging:
Connect the charger to the power grid without the battery. A yellow light will shine and a green light will
flash. Hold the battery, turn it 45 degrees and lift it out of the control box of the walker
A
. Please check that the con-
tact surfaces are clean. Put the battery in the battery charger; check that one of the arrows on the battery
B
points
towards the white and blue mark/eye
C
. A green light will flash during charging. The light will show a constant
green colour when the battery is fully loaded. To mount the battery on the walker again put the battery back in the
control box on the column. Check that one arrow points towards the white and blue mark/eye and the other arrow
points straight back
D
.
Be aware: When the battery level is very low, it might only be possible to adjust the height of the walker
down, not up. The battery has to be reset if this occurs. Take the battery out of the control box and press the
red height adjustment button on the handle (see illustration 4) until you hear a beep.
Different beep signals:
Short “beep-beep”
from the control box every 24th second = low battery level. Charge the battery.
Long “beeeeep”
when the battery is put in the control box = good connection
Short “beep-beep”
when the walker is being raised and lowered = low voltage. The battery should be replaced.
If recharged, the battery will still give power but only for a limited time.
Long “beeeeep”
when the Taurus is being raised and lowered = battery voltage lower than 17.6 V. It will only be
possible to lower it, not raise it.
Short “beep-beep-beep-beep”
= too high temperature inside the control box. Stop using until the control box has
cooled down.
Locking the swing (directional block) (TOPRO TAURUS E Premium)
10
To be done with an index pin
A
on both wheels. Make sure the mounting bracket for the foot brake is pointing
backwards.
This is how the index pin works:
Locking: Twist the upper part of the index pin
B
so that it fits into the track of the lower part
C
. By doing this the pin
D
will slide out and lock.
Releasing: Pull the upper part of the index pin
B
up and turn it 90 degrees. NB: Make sure it stays in the upper track.
It will then lock in the upper position. The pin
D
slides in and the index pin is unlocked.
Please note: If there is no need to lock the swing but there is a risk that the user may unintentionally release the
index pin, we recommend removing it. This is done by screwing it out with an adjustable spanner.
Transport
The walker can be transported either in vertical or horizontal position. The walker should be set in the lowest height
position, to save space and ease the handling. Ensure that the foot brakes are on. Be careful when loading the walk-
er into a vehicle, giving attention to securing of the item.
Storage
The walker should be stored indoors and in an upright position.
Material // Recycling
The walker is made of plastic coated aluminium pipe, plastic couplings and material of plastic and polyester. The
forearm cushions are of polyurethane. Most parts can be recycled. Dispose the walker according to the applicable
regulations in your country. For information, please contact your public authorities.
The battery contains NiMH (nickel). Do not dispose the battery in ordinary household waste, some communities
offer recycling or collection of batteries.
