Locking And Unlocking The Wheels; Closing The Upwalker - LifeWalker Mobility Products Upwalker User Manual

I. Locking and Unlocking the Wheels
1. For most users the front wheels should be
set to pivot freely and allow the UPWalker to
turn left and right. This is achieved by placing
the light gray tab above each front wheel in
the down position (Fig I1). However, the front
wheels can be locked to roll only in a straight
line by flipping the gray wheel lock tabs to the
up position (Fig I2).
2. The rear wheels should be kept in the
locked position when using the UPWalker. If
you need to unlock the rear wheels to reduce
the size of the unit for shipping, storage or
transport, lift up the black wheel lock tabs
above the rear wheels (Fig I3) and pivot the
wheels inward. Push wheel lock tabs down to
closed position after turning wheels under the
UPWalker.
J. Closing the UPWalker
1. Lower the armrests to the lowest setting
(see "Setting Desired Armrest Height" on
page 7). Lift the seat up by seat lift handle
(Fig J1) and allow UPWalker to fold in (Fig J2).
Stand the UPWalker on all four wheels to roll
or stow. Use the Velcro strap on front of the
UPWalker to secure folded unit for storage or
transport.
2. When folding for storage or transport, it is
recommended that the handgrips be turned
either vertically upward (Fig C3) or fully
downward toward the ground (Fig C5), and
the armrests should be returned to their
lowest height position (Fig A1).
3. Luxury Personal Item Bag must be removed to avoid damage to bag.
