The Bure Rise & Go is a conventional, electrically operated walker that is enhanced with a power rise function.
Not only does it act as a walker, it also makes getting about in everyday life easier thanks to its smart power
rise function. The Bure Rise & Go can be used by anyone who regularly uses a walker. The user can remain
active while the power rise function is in use.
The product consists of a walker and its associated harness and straps. The harness is available in different
sizes (S, M, L, XL) and is split at the rear to make remaining in the harness possible while using the WC.
The harness is secured to the two attachment straps (one each side), which are in turn attached to the walker.
When the patient stands up the electric power rise function is employed and the smart attachment reduces the
distance between the patient and the walker until the patient is standing upright.
The walker can be used to advantage with a platform to facilitate patient transportation.

1. Standing up using the Bure Rise & Go
Because standing up or transporting patients always entails risks we recommend that two
people are always present to assist the user at such times.
1. Fit the harness as low as possible across the hips and bottom with the broad upper part
around the hips and the narrow lower part around the bottom. Attach the strap with the
Velcro fastener and tighten it using the steplessly adjustable safety belt. Note that the lower
part of the harness attached around the patient’s bottom can be opened as required, e.g.
for visits to the WC
2. Place the user’s legs at a 90˚ angle with their feet on the oor or platform. Adjust the shin
supports to t the user’s shins; remember to avoid pressure on the patellae and patellar
tendons. Refer to page 5 for shin support adjustment.
3. Thread both attachment belts through the walker’s frame and the green locking devices.
Make sure the belts are threaded completely through the locking devices. NB: Check
especially that the belts are undamaged. Check that belts are not worn or frayed and that
the holder and straps are NOT bent or crooked. If the holder and belts are crooked (pic
3c-red line) it is a sign that the product has been overloaded, in which case the frame must
be replaced before further use.
4. Connect the power rise harness and attachment belts (that are secured to the walker) and
tighten them using the loops; the belts must be taught on both sides. (see g. 4a)

Note: Slide the loop back once the straps have been tightened – this prevents tangling
(see g. 4b).
5. Swing the forearm supports to the side; the user must now grasp the handles WITHOUT
support for the forearms.
6. Lock at least two of the walker’s castors (any two) and fold down the stirrup.
7. Perform the standing manoeuvre and check that the harness pulls evenly on both sides;
if not, adjust immediately. During the standing manoeuvre one carer must stand in front
of the user while applying their weight to the stirrup and maintaining eye contact with the
patient. The other carer may stand next to the patient.
8. In most cases the patient will not achieve a fully upright standing position; encourage the
patient to achieve a nal upright posture independently or assist the patient by tightening
the adjustable harness straps.
9. Lower the walker to its individually adjusted height and swing the forearm supports back
into position to provide support for the user. If a platform is not being used, swing the shin
supports away for increased walking room: refer to page 5, Shin support adjustment. The
harness may remain attached for enhanced safety, e.g. during transportation using the
platform.

3. Adjusting the handles
To adjust handles to the desired position, undo knob, adjust handle tighten knob.
4. Stirrup
Always use the stirrup when helping the patient stand. Always rest one foot rmly
on the extended stirrup in order to prevent the walker from tipping backwards.
5. Left and right adjustment of armrests
The armrests can be adjusted sideways for optimal support: the whole arm can
be moved in or out and locked with the knob.
6. Locking/unlocking castors
Depress the foot brake to set it and lock the castor. To unlock, press down on the
protruding part of the brake.

8. Control box wiring
Remove the control box cover to make the connections as described below. Use
a screwdriver or similar; refer to the special labels on the control box.
1. Socket for the raise/lower actuator. NOTE: Make sure that plugs are
connected to the correct sockets otherwise the actuators can be damaged.
2. Remote control socket.
3. Battery terminal socket.
4. Plug socket. NOTE: Plugs must ALWAYS be connected to the control box for
IP classication to be valid.
9. 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.
10. LED on controlbox 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.
