Introduction
Specification
This tri-walker is designed for people with
reduced walking distance, or with balance
issues or other disabilities which prevent people
to have a normal standing posture.
Intended Use

The use of the tri-walker will help people
improve their mobility. When you are walking
with your tri-walker make sure that you walk
fully upright, with the tri-walker near your
body. This is for the best support and the safest
movements. If you follow this order for
movement with your tri-walker you will have
the correct body position.
Confronting pavements and unequal surfaces:
• Do not drive into kerbs.
• Inspect the slope always for risks, such as
holes or slippery and uneven surfaces
before you walk further.
Going up the pavement:
When you want to go up a pavement you
should do this in the following manner:
• Push the tri-walker.
• Tip the tri-walker so the front wheels
are lifted.
• When the front wheels are above the
pavement you can let the tri-walker down.
• Now you can push the tri-walker forwards
and place the rear wheels on the pavement.
Going down the pavement:
• Carefully roll the tri-walker forwards.
• When the front wheels are off the
pavement you can let the tri-walker down.
• Now you can push the tri-walker forwards
and place the rear wheels back onto
the ground.
