PERSONAL SAFETY
•For your health and comfort, make sure that you adopt a
comfortable posture and that you can operate the braking
mechanism with ease. Ensure that the handles are at equal
heights and securely locked in position.
•Ensure the walker is always fully folded out and locked in
position before using.
•Ensure that all the wheels are stable and are on the ground
before using.
•Ensure that the braking mechanism is adequate and test
before using.
•Ensure that the latest health and safety practice is used for

ADJUSTMENTS FOR COMFORT
To adjust the height of all walkers, unscrew the tightening
handles at either side of the walker anticlockwise to remove.
Adjust the height of the walker to suit the user and then reinsert.

of at least 50mm (2 inches)
between the rear tyres.
To fully unfold the triwalker before using, push the folding
mechanism down away from the handles.
