Proper Use / User Advisory
The Walking Aids are designed for persons with limited ability to stand and serve to
increase their ability to walk and are ideal for helping persons to stand up. The
Walking Aids are only suitable for use on solid and even surfaces.
The Walking Aids are especially light and rust-free because of their painted
aluminium frames. Slip-resistant handles provide a secure grip. For transporting, the
Aid is easily foldable.
The handgrip bow is height adjustable. In addition, the Walking Aid can be equipped
with a back rest.
Please allow your specialized dealer or care provider to advise you on
using the Walking Aid and proper adjustment for function.
First-time Use
The Walking Aid is ready to use. When using the Walking Aid for the first time, the
following points must be observed:
Unfolding the Walking Aid
Place the Walking Aid on its rear legs and push the frame apart with the handle bow.
The Walking Aid will click into its end position by itself.
Adjusting the Handle
First remove both star-grip screws. Next choose the appropriate height and set it at
the next screw hole. Put back the star grip screws and tighten them securely.
Fold up the Walking Aid
Pull the stop pins towards each other while lifting the Walking Aid.
The Walking Aid then folds together.
Exchanging the Suction Caps
A worn or damaged suction cap (E) must be replaced. Pull off the suction caps from
the end of the tube. Push on a new suction cap and check to be sure it is firmly
seated. Always exchange the caps in pairs, and not just one, in order to assure
uniform standing stability.
Attention!
Always be sure there is a metal plate inside the
suction cap. It protects the cap from being punctured
by the tube of the frame.
Otherwise damage to the floor surface may result.
There’s also a higher risk of slipping!
