1. Folding Walker
•Do not use on stairs or escalators.
• When turning around, bring the walker around you without twisting your back – you should always be facing the
front of the walker.
• Always be aware of your surroundings and obstacles i.e. electrical cords, throw rugs, toys, etc.
• Stay upright when you move, this will help walking behind it.
• Be careful not to push the walker too far ahead of you.
• Avoid hurrying and taking large steps when you turn. Change directions slowly.
• Do not overload your walker.
• Consult your doctor or therapist for help selecting and maintaining your walker.

“Your walker walks with you” feature:
Unlike traditional walkers, which are designed to be pushed in front of you,
the BIOS Living 5-in-1 Mobility & Bathroom Aid is designed with a frame
that features the “Your walker walks with you” function. The frame can be
locked, like a traditional walker or when the frame is unlocked the walker
walks with you as you move. The frame shifts on its hinges following your
hand movements. As you lift the walker to step you slightly push the frame
forward with your hand and the frame follows your hand movement sliding
to the left or right to walk with you.
2. To disable the “Your walker walks with you” feature and lock your frame;
start by pressing the folding button in the center on the top frame bar.
3. Fold both arms of the walker in slightly, adjust the frame lock located on the outside of the black back rest. Move
the metal pins from the down position to up on both sides of the back rest ensuring the metal pins “CLICK”
completely into place. The frame will now be locked. (Fig 1-3.)

4. To fit your walker, start with your arms resting at your sides. Adjust all 4 legs by moving them UP or DOWN and
line up the metal pins with the corresponding holes; ensure the metal pins “CLICK” completely into place. Adjust
the legs so that the handles are at the height of your wrists. Make sure the height of each leg is the same.
5. With your hands placed on the upper hand grips, your elbow should be flexed 15° – 20°.
6. 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
and comfortable height.
7. Always make sure to place your hands equally on either upper hand grips. This will distribute your weight evenly
across the walker and make it safe to support you while you move.
2. Commode
IMPORTANT: Always make sure all 4 legs are the same height before using.
