WHEELED WALKER ACCESSORIES

STABILITY WARNINGS
Check to make sure that rubber tips and/or plastic glide tips are not ripped,
worn or missing. Replace them BEFORE using the walker.
DO NOT use rubber tips on front leg extensions when using rear wheel/brake
options.
When using rear leg extension with rubber tips or glide tips, all four legs
MUST be placed on the floor for stability/support. Do not use only the two (2)
rear legs for stability/support.
Glide tips are not recommended for use on rough surfaces including surfaces
that may be experienced outdoors.
Glide tips are used on rear leg extensions ONLY to allow the walker to roll easily
over indoor carpeted areas without the need to lift the walker off the ground.
Glide tips on rear leg extensions should only be used with front wheel attachments.
Glide tips are NOT recommended for use on all four (4) leg extensions at once.
DO NOT use glide tips and rubber tips at the same time.
Glide tips do not grip the floor the way rubber tips grip flooring, therefore,
extra caution should be observed when in use.
When using glide tips on a walker, short steps should be taken to assure that
weight is distributed evenly and directly over walker legs. These precautions
will prevent uncontrollable movement of the walker.
INSTALLATION WARNINGS
Ensure all snap buttons fully protrude through adjustment holes of each leg
extension. This ensures that the leg extensions are securely locked in position.
The leg extensions should be adjusted so the walker is level. If an even height
cannot be achieved, adjust the leg extensions so that the rear of the walker is
no more than one (1) inch lower than the front.
Swivel casters should be periodically checked for tightness and/or damage. If
loose, tighten securely. If damaged, replace immediately.
After installation, ensure that the walker and accessories are properly and
securely locked in place and hardware tightened securely BEFORE using.
Wheel Accessories are ONLY to be used on the front walker legs with
exception of Model Nos. 6264 - 10-inch Rear Wheel Brakes and 6265 - 13-inch
Rear Wheel Brakes.
