ƽ WARNING
DO NOT install or use this equipment without first reading and understanding this instruction sheet. If you are unable to
understand the Warnings, Cautions or Instructions, contact a healthcare professional, dealer or technical personnel
before attempting to install this equipment - otherwise, injury or damage may occur.
Each individual should ALWAYS consult with their physician or therapist to determine proper adjustment and usage.
DO NOT sit on the walker. DO NOT use the walker as a wheelchair or transport device. Walkers are not intended to be
propelled while seated.
The brakes MUST be in the locked position before using the knee pad.
A physical/occupational therapist should assist in the height adjustment of the walker for maximum support and correct
brake activation.
Care should be taken to ensure that all hand and height adjustments are secure, and that casters and moving objects are
in good working order before using this or any mobility aid.
All wheels MUST be in contact with the floor at all times during use. This will ensure the walker is properly balanced.
When using the walker in a stationary position, the hand brakes MUST be locked.
ALWAYS observe the weight limit on the labeling of your product. Check that all labels are present and legible. Replace if
necessary.
If push handle is exposed to extreme temperature (above 100°F or below 32°F), high humidity and/or becomes wet, prior
to use, ensure handgrips DO NOT twist on push handle - otherwise damage or injury may occur.
DO NOT attempt to reach objects if you have to move forward on the knee pad. Reaching for these objects will cause a
change to the weight distribution of the walker and may cause the walker to tip, resulting in injury or damage.
DO NOT hang anything from the frame of the walker. Items should be placed in the basket. The basket can hold up to
10 lbs.
Before attempting to reach objects or pick them up from the floor by reaching down between your knees, place feet
securely on the floor. Use EXTREME caution when reaching for any object.
