Setup
Unpacking and Initial Inspection

Assembly Instructions

- Attach Handlebars: Insert the handlebar posts into the designated slots on the main frame. Ensure they are fully seated.
- Secure Handlebars: Tighten the star knobs located on the frame to firmly secure the handlebars in place. Do not overtighten.

Operating Instructions
Adjusting Handle Height
For optimal comfort and posture, adjust the height of the handlebars to ensure your hands are at a natural angle and the brakes are easily accessible. Loosen the star knobs on the handlebar posts, slide the handlebars to the desired height (between 31 and 38.5 inches), and then re-tighten the knobs securely.

Using the Brakes
The walker is equipped with ergonomic hand brakes for controlled stopping and parking. Squeeze the brake levers to slow down or stop. To engage the parking brake, push the levers down until they lock into place. This will secure the wheels, providing stability when standing or resting. To release, pull the levers back up.

Folding and Transporting
The walker features a lightweight and foldable design for easy transport and storage. To fold, pull the central strap or lever (location may vary slightly based on specific model revision) upwards until the walker collapses. Once folded, it can be easily placed in a car trunk or stored in compact spaces.
