Setup Instructions

The Healthline Folding Walker requires minimal assembly and no tools. Follow these steps to prepare your walker for use:

1. Unfold the Walker: Gently pull the sides of the walker apart until it locks into its open position. Ensure both sides are fully extended and locked.
2. Attach Front Wheels: The walker comes with two 5-inch front wheels. Insert the wheel legs into the front frame tubes until the spring buttons snap into place.
3. Install Rear Glides: Remove the existing rubber tips from the rear legs. Insert the provided rear glide caps onto the rear legs. These glides facilitate movement across different floor surfaces.
4. Adjust Height: Press the spring buttons on each leg and slide the leg up or down to the desired height. Ensure all four legs are adjusted to the same height and the spring buttons are fully engaged in the adjustment holes. The palm grips should be at wrist level when standing upright with arms relaxed.
