Determine Correct Handle Height
Stand behind the walker with your arms and hands hanging at your sides and both feet in line with the rear
wheels. Adjust the height of the walker handles so that they are even with your hip joint. When you stand
straight and grip the handles, your arms should be slightly bent at your elbows, approximately 20 to 30
degrees (see image 12).
How to Walk with a Walker
Step 1: Roll your walker slowly forward so that the rear wheels are a few inches ahead of your body.
Step 2: Step forward and place one foot in line with the rear wheels (see image 13).
Step 3: Maintaining a steady roll forward, place your other foot in line with the rear wheels.
Step 4: Determine a pace that is comfortable and allows you to place each step in line with the rear wheels.

How to Adjust the Hand Brakes
The following information is designed to assist you with the adjustment of your Nova Feather Touch Hand
Brake System.
NOTE: The braking system on your new Nova walker has been preset from the factory. To maintain this preset position,
be sure that the tension adjustment screw locking nuts are tight against the housing and the rear wheels (see image
15). If you are still having difficulty with your brakes, you can adjust them by doing the following:
image 14
1. Hand Brake is too Loose.
Loosen the tension adjustment screw locking nut and turn the screw
one full turn clockwise (as viewed from standing at the back of the
walker). If this does not correct the adjustment, repeat one full turn at
a time until you have adjusted your brakes. Make sure the locking nut
is spun tight against the housing to prevent the screw from loosening.
2. Hand Brake is too Tight.
Loosen the tension adjustment screw locking nut and turn the screw
one full turn counter clockwise (as viewed from standing at the back
of the walker). If this does not correct the adjustment, repeat one full
turn at a time until you have adjusted your brakes. Make sure the
locking nut is spun tight against the housing to prevent the screw
from loosening. image 15
