Novis BetterLiving BL1461 Manual instruction

Please read these
instructions before use
Do not use a walking
frame to climb stairs or to
travel on an escalator
Unfolding / folding the walking frame Adjusting the height
Press in the brass locking button to disengage,
and turn the leg slightly so the button is no longer
aligned with the holes.
Move the leg up or down to your ideal height
setting, then turn the leg back to align the locking
button with the nearest hole. If unable to achieve
an exact height match, make the walking frame
slightly higher rather than shorter to avoid
stooping.
The locking button must be fully engaged and
protruding through the height adjustment hole to
ensure a positive lock. Always test that the lock is
fully engaged before use.
Unfold each arm outwards until the
lock clicks into place. Check both
sides of the frame are firmly locked
into position before use.
To fold, press firmly on the single
button located in the centre of the
cross bar to release the locks.
Then fold each side of the frame
inwards until they rest flat against
the frame.
Ideal height
To determine ideal height for your
walking frame, stand as straight as
possible (preferably wearing an everyday
pair of shoes) and look straight ahead
with your arms relaxed at your sides.
In this position, the top of the handgrips
should sit level with your wrist bone
when the walking frame is placed in the
correct position around your body. You
can measure the distance from your wrist
bone to the floor as a helpful reference for
height adjustment.
Using the walking frame
With both hands placed firmly around the handgrips at the top
of the walking frame, lift and place the frame to a comfortable
arm’s length ahead of you, making sure the frame is stable on
the ground.
Step in towards the frame, stepping o from your weaker leg (if
applicable). Do not step all the way to the front of the walking
frame; smaller steps are recommended. Always take small
steps when turning.

frame with single button
folding mechanism.

SET UP AND OPERATION

Regular maintenance
Regularly check the walking frame for damage and wear,
paying special attention to the condition of the rubber tips.
Replace the rubber tips immediately if you see evidence
of rips, tears, cracks or other general wear. If the walking
frame is damaged in any way, stop using the walking frame
immediately and contact your authorised dealer or the
manufacturer.
Care & cleaning
To clean the walking frame, wipe with a mild soap and warm
water solution and rinse well. Dry thoroughly with a clean cloth.
Avoid harsh, abrasive cleaning agents or utensils (such as a
wire brush) as these may damage the anodised finish, or plastic
and rubber components.
