TWO BUTTON WALKER - WITH 5" WHEELS NOTE: If you have purchased a two button walker without wheels, please read the previous section. 1. When installing the wheel legs on your two button walker, you must make sure they are installed on the front two legs and the wheels are facing outward (Fig. D). 2. Insert one (1) leg tip into the end of one of the back legs of the side frame (Fig. E). Insert the leg tip by depressing the brass push pin and sliding it until it is securely in place.

Once the walker has been opened, legs are installed and the sides have been confirmed as locked into place, stand with the middle of your feet even with the walker's back legs. 1. With arms relaxed at your side, the handle of the walker should be at wrist height, or with your hands on the handgrips, your arms should be flexed 20"-30". 2. Depress the brass push pins and slide each leg until the desired height is reached. Once the desired height has been reached, lock the leg securely in place by sliding the leg until the brass push pin clicks into place and extends out of the locking hole. Repeat this step for the other 3 legs. The lock holes have been numbered to ensure all four legs match the same height. 3. To be sure the legs are securely locked into place, gently push down on the hand grips or pull on each of the legs. CAUTION: Ensure that all four walker legs are adjusted to the same height and that ALL brass push pins are extended through the locking holes before use. WALKIING WITH THE WALKER 1. Start with the middle of your feet even with the walker's back legs. 2. Holding on to the hand grips, pick the walker up and place it in front of you at an arms length that feels comfortable. Be sure all four legs return to the floor. 3. Carefully step forward with your weaker leg into the middle of your walker followed by your stronger leg. This will help keep weight off your weaker leg by using your arms for added support. 5Adobe PDF Library 17.0 Adobe InDesign 19.3 (Macintosh)
