xThe walker must be adjusted to the recommended height for right support and safe walking: Stand
with relaxed shoulders and have your elbow at a 90 degree angle A. Hold the walker as close to your
body to maintain the correct support and a safe walk B. The easiest way to keep your balance is to
walk straight, look forward and hold your backside in C.
xDo not push the walker too far from your body as this can cause unnecessary strain and you could fall.
xDo not push the walker forward if the front wheels have stopped at an obstacle. The walker may tilt
and cause an accident.
xMax user weight is 150 kg. Max user height 2 m.
xDo not let children play with the walker.
xSome parts of the walker might feel hot or cold when exposed to extreme temperatures.

Adjusting the forearm support

cushion is moveable. Place at the required position and tighten the screw. NB If the lock sticks out, it can be
dangerous. Pull the lever down and rotate it so that it doesn't stick out.
Angle adjustment and twisting the handle
(TOPRO TAURUS H-JH and H-JHB)
Unscrew the screw A until you can move the handle. Adjust the handle Bto the required angle, length and
twist and tighten the screw. NB The screw must not be screwed too far out as the parts will fall from each
other. If this happens, then put the pin C in the hole Dand E. It is not possible to pull the handles all the way
out; there are physical stops both ways.
