The package contains the following item:

• 1x Helavo Replacement Front Wheel with Suspension

4. Setup and Installation

Before beginning installation, ensure the walker is stable and cannot roll. It is recommended to have another person assist you or to perform the installation on a flat, non-slip surface.

Required Tools (Not Included):

• Wrench or adjustable pliers (for axle nuts, if applicable)
• Screwdriver (if fasteners are used)

Installation Steps:

1. Prepare the Walker: Engage the parking brakes on the rear wheels. If possible, fold the walker or lay it on its side to access the front wheel assembly safely.
2. Remove the Old Wheel: Carefully identify the fasteners securing the existing front wheel. This typically involves unscrewing a nut from an axle bolt or releasing a quick-release mechanism. Keep all removed hardware in a safe place.
3. Inspect the Fork: Before installing the new wheel, inspect the walker's front fork for any damage, bends, or debris. Clean the area if necessary.
4. Install the New Wheel: Align the new Helavo replacement front wheel with the fork. Insert the axle bolt through the fork and the wheel's hub. Ensure all washers and spacers are correctly positioned according to the original setup.
5. Secure the Wheel: Tighten the axle nut or engage the quick-release mechanism until the wheel is securely fastened. Do not overtighten, as this can damage the wheel or fork. The wheel should spin freely without excessive wobble.
6. Test Functionality: Once installed, lift the walker slightly and manually spin the new wheel to ensure it rotates smoothly and without obstruction. Check for any loose parts.
7. Final Check: Place the walker on the ground and disengage the brakes. Gently push the walker forward and backward to confirm stability and proper wheel function. Ensure the suspension operates correctly.

Safety Warning: If you are unsure about any step of the installation process, or if the wheel does not fit correctly, do not force it. Contact Helavo customer service or a qualified technician for assistance.

5. Operating Considerations

After installing the replacement front wheel, ensure the walker operates as expected. The new suspension system is designed to provide a smoother ride over uneven surfaces. Always engage the parking brakes when standing still or sitting on the walker.

Regularly check that the wheel is securely attached and spins freely. Avoid sudden impacts or excessive force on the wheels, as this can cause damage.

6. Maintenance

• Cleaning: Clean the wheel and suspension components regularly with a damp cloth and mild soap. Avoid abrasive cleaners or solvents that could damage the materials.
• Inspection: Periodically inspect the wheel for signs of wear, cracks, or damage to the tire and hub. Check the suspension mechanism for proper function and ensure no debris is lodged within it.
• Fasteners: Ensure all nuts, bolts, and quick-release mechanisms remain tight. Loose fasteners can compromise safety and performance.
• Storage: Store the walker in a clean, dry place away from extreme temperatures and direct sunlight to prolong the life of its components.

7. Troubleshooting

• Wheel Does Not Fit: Double-check your walker's model number against the compatibility section. Ensure you have the correct replacement part. Do not attempt to force the wheel.
• Wheel Wobbles or is Loose: Ensure all fasteners are securely tightened. If the wobble persists, inspect the axle and fork for damage or bending.
• Wheel Does Not Spin Freely: Check for any obstructions (e.g., debris, tight fasteners) preventing free rotation. Ensure the wheel is not rubbing against the fork.
• Suspension Issues: If the suspension feels stiff or unresponsive, check for debris or damage to the spring mechanism.

If you encounter persistent issues or are unsure how to resolve a problem, please contact Helavo customer service for expert assistance.
