Introduction
This manual is a description of CrossWALKER and a guide to the correct and safe use of CrossWALKER.
Therefore, it is important that you read through it carefully and understand the importance of using
CrossWALKER correctly. If a user is visually impaired or has reduced cognitive functionality, it is important
that the user receives instructions and assistance before and during use of CrossWALKER. CrossWALKER
CWO02 is the second CrossWALKER model. For this reason, CrossWALKER is likely to be developed further
over time. CrossWALKER contains no electrical parts, batteries or software.
CrossWALKER must be mounted on rollators that comply with standard requirements DS/EN1985 and ICS
11.180. Crosswalker may only be mounted on rollators that have been approved by Human Walking Aps.
CrossWALKER may only be mounted by Human Walking Aps.
CrossWALKER product description
CrossWALKER is a rehabilitation – and training device for rollator users. When walking with a rollator, your
upper body is immobile and often slightly bent forwards.
CrossWALKER gives users the option of walking with their upper bodies and arms in motion. The result is a
natural walking motion with a healthy and straight posture of the back.
CrossWALKER trains and rehabilitates your body naturally. It is expected that the eect of training with
CrossWALKER reduces the risk of falls over time.
Physical requirements for users
Users must be aware of their own physical ability and use CrossWALKER accordingly and rationally. Users
must be in their habitual general physical and mental state when using CrossWALKER.
User body weight must not exceed 130kg.
CrossWALKER safety
CrossWALKER must be base-mounted on a rollator before use.
CrossWALKER may not be mounted or dismounted by anyone other than Human Walking ApS.
CrossWALKER must not be damaged in any way before being put into use.
Use skid-proof and closed footwear when using CrossWALKER.

IMPORTANT!
CrossWALKER may only be used on a stabile and even base. If the base is uneven or has dierence in level
e.g. kerbstones, the horizontally placed handles on the rollator must be used. See g. 1, sec. C and D. When
changing hands from one handle to the other, it is important to bring CrossWALKER to a halt and stand still
with both legs.
FIGUR 1:
A: Left handle
B: Right handle
C: Horizontal handle on rollator
D: Horizontal handle on rollator
E: Brake release for release of emergency brake
F: Brake release for release of emergency brake
CrossWALKER may only be used when all four wheels of
the rollator is in contact with the base.
CrossWALKER is equipped with an emergency brake on
both handles, see g. 1, sec. A and B.
The emergency brake is released if a user suddenly
presses one or both handles vertically downwards. This
will give the function of an intended fall prevention or a
planned lock-up of CrossWALKER. See g. 2.

Check that the emergency brake is working before use
With a sudden movement, press the handlebars vertically downwards. The emergency brake on
CrossWALKER has now been locked, and the red STOP colour is clearly visible. The emergency brake can
be released again, by pressing the two brake releases found at the foot of the handlebars, towards the
handlebars. See g. 3. When both brake releases are pressed into place, CrossWALKER is no longer locked
and is now ready for use.
It is important that only the wheels are in direct contact with sand, gravel and pebbles.
CrossWALKER must not be used during extreme weather conditions with temperatures of severe heat or
severe cold.
Range of application
CrossWALKER is designed and approved for indoor and outdoor use on an even and safe base.
Adjustments before use
CrossWALKER cannot be adjusted vertically or horizontally. However, CrossWALKER can be ordered to
come with handlebars in dierent lengths, depending on the height of the user. CrossWALKER is also
available in a version which requires additional force, in relation to releasing the handlebar emergency
brake. As per agreement, CrossWALKER also comes with special ergonomic handles.
Before use
It may take some time to get used to and nd your own walking pace with CrossWALKER - this is perfectly
normal. Therefore, you should plan a slow start up.
In connection with rehabilitation, users should receive guidance from healthcare workers.
Timed intervals of CrossWALKER use must be adjusted to the general physical and mental ability of the
user.
For cardiac and venous insuciency, users must seek medical advice before using CrossWALKER.
In the event of spontaneous discomfort, stop using CrossWALKER immediately.
Walking with CrossWALKER
The use of CrossWALKER is always done at one’s own risk.
1. ALWAYS walk with both legs and body positioned in the middle of the rear wheels.
2. Press the two brake releases until the red STOP colour is no longer visible. Press with the FLAT OF
YOUR HAND, in order to avoid getting your ngers caught, when the emergency brake is released.
See g. 3.
3. Take a light and coordinated hold of the right handlebar with your right hand and place your left
hand on the left handlebar in a similar fashion.

4. Initiate a reciprocal movement of the handles, while simultaneously walking slowly forwards in a
normal walking motion.
5. We recommend, that the left leg is put forward, while the right arm/handle is in the reciprocal
motion, in order to achieve the desired natural walking motion. Similarly, put the right leg forward
on the base, when the left arm/handle is frontside in the reciprocal motion. See cover photo.
6. Always walk with a hand on each handlebar, as illustrated on the cover photo.
7. Sweat, rain and snow may aect the friction between your palms and the handles on the
handlebars. Always keep your palms dry.
8. The recommended luggage weight when using CrossWALKER is maximum 2kg.
9. IMPORTANT: Lock the emergency brake on both handlebars after use. Arm/handle is frontside
in the reciprocal motion. See cover photo 6. Always walk with a hand on each handle, as illustrated
on the front cover
Storing
When CrossWALKER is not in use, the handles are automatically centred in the centre position. See g. 2.
The emergency brake on the CrossWALKER handles must be released after use. This is done by pressing the
handles vertically downwards. See g. 2, sec. A and B.
Transportation of CrossWALKER
CrossWALKER can be folded up by lifting the seat and pulling the strap in the bottom of the basket.
When lifting CrossWALKER, we recommend assistance from a t and healthy person, due to the weight of
CrossWALKER (14 kg)
Removing handlebars
The handlebars can be removed at the foot of the handlebar. Press the yellow dot and pull the handlebar
upwards. When the bars are mounted again, it is IMPORTANT that both handlebars “click” correctly into
place. When properly mounted, the yellow dots are clearly visible.

Additional information regarding uncommon risks when using CrossWALKER
If CrossWALKER shows any sign of material damage or degradation, stop using CrossWALKER immediately.
Contact your distributor as soon as possible.
In the event of an accidental fall forwards, the user’s face, neck and remaining body parts, teeth, dentures
etc. may hit the CrossWALKER handlebars, either in a locked or unlocked position.
In the event of an accidental fall forwards, there is a very small risk that the neck or other body parts may
slide down in the V-shape between the CrossWALKER handlebars and the rollator. At worst, this will result
in compression of the airways.
Storage:
Place CrossWALKER in a dry room without moisture, when it is not being used. Keep out of reach of small
children. Always lock CrossWALKER when left unattended.
Disposal:
CrossWALKER must be returned to a (public) recycling station.
Warranty:
Human Walking ApS provides a 2-year warranty on mechanical parts. Freight is payed for by the customer.
HumanWalking ApS oers no compensation for personal injuries or damage to materials as a result of using
