Push in the upper portion of the light gray height adjustment
tab (Figure 4) and, while keeping the tab depressed with one
hand, use your other hand centered over the armrest pad to raise
or lower the armrest to the desired height (Figure 5). When the
armrest is at the desired height, release the height adjustment
tab to lock the armrest in place. You will hear a “click” when the
tab is engaged.
The armrests should be set at a height that is high enough that
you feel support under your forearms when standing upright
inside the UPWalker Lite but not so high as to cause your
shoulders to “hunch.” Set the armrests at the same height and put
equal weight on each forearm while using.

The personal item bag has plastic clips which go over the seat rail
extension on the front end of the walker (located at front end of
the seat). With the UPWalker logo side of the bag facing toward
the front, slide the clips over the right and left seat rail extensions
(Figures 6-7).
With the logo side of the backrest upright and facing the front
of the UPWalker Lite, slide the T-slot on the end of the backrest
onto the respective mating T-ridge on the front of the frame
under the armrests (Figure 8). Repeat for the other end of the
backrest. Check to confirm that the T-slots and T-ridges are fully
engaged on both ends of the backrest. Backrest may be left on
the UPWalker Lite or removed when not in use (Figure 9).

The beverage holder can be attached to either one of the
handgrip tubes.
First, unscrew the knob on U-shaped tube clamp and remove the
beverage holder from the U-clamp. Then slide “U” over handgrip
tube close to armrest pad with hole on bottom and flat side of
“U” facing inward. Make sure rubber sleeve remains inside the “U”
(Figure 10). Slide the bolt on beverage holder through the hole
on “U” with beverage holder positioned on the outside and the
knob on the inside of the UPWalker (Figure 11). Note that the “U”
and holder have a matching positioning key to rotate and lock the
holder at the desired angle. Additional adjustments can be made
to the positioning of the beverage holder by moving the “U” on
the handgrip tube.
