Ortho is especially designed for orthopaedics departments and situations that demand extra legroom and
room for manoeuvre for the user. Ortho has a powerful electric motor for powered height adjustment. Walker
heights are thus adjustable with the patient in situ and the walker can be used as a stand-up aid. Ortho is also
available in a small version – Ortho S (only available in the gas version) – with a max frame width of only 65 cm.
In addition to Ortho’s advantages, Bure Space also has extra room to get up close to wheelchairs or similar.
The base frame has been made wider and the internal width extended to 67 cm. Bure Space is available with
electrically operated or hydraulic height adjustment.

armrest, tighten knob.
NOTE: The rear attachments on the frame/armrest are interchangeable (left

6. Battery charging
• Connect plug to 230V wall socket. Charging begins automatically and the
battery LED ashes green.
• Make sure the battery is fully charged before using for the rst time. It takes
around 25 h to fully charge the battery.
• We recommend that the battery plug be removed from the control box if the
product will be out of use for an extended period (more than one week) or if
the battery is switched off by means of the ON/OFF switch. This eliminates
the risk of disabling the battery as the control box always uses a small
quantity of electricity even when the walker is not in use.
7. LEDs on control box and battery
Control box – green light when power is available from battery/mains socket.
Battery:
• The LED ashes green during charging.
• ON/OFF: To use the product, press ON.
• The green lamp will begin to ash.
• Use the OFF button (hold down for 5 s) to switch off the battery if the product
will not be used for an extended period.
• The LED will shows a constant green light when the battery is fully charged.
• When the battery is in normal state/in operation, the LED ashes green at
REGULAR intervals, namely 0.5 s ON, 4 s OFF.
• When the battery requires charging (remaining charge <25%) the LED will
ash orange/red at REGULAR intervals, namely 0.5 s ON, 4 s OFF.
NOTE: The battery has an in-built device that automatically switches it off when
remaining charge is <20%. The LED is then extinguished. The battery must now
be fully charged before the electronics can be used again.
