ASSEMBLY Joining the top part and bottom frame Place the top part in the tubes on the bottom frame.

Spring loading The two springs inside the tubes can be changed to obtain harder or softer suspension.

The springs can easily be interchanged. Grab and open the swing bar so that the frame is lowered. The tube ends are closed with a lid - open the lids to remove the springs. To open the lid push up and turn clockwise before pulling the lid down and off. After removal of the old springs the new ones can be inserted into the tubes.
ADJUSTMENTS Stanchions Warning! Do not carry out this adjustment while a user is placed in Meywalk®4. The height of Meywalk®4 is adjusted by way of the black spanner grips. Loosen the spanner grips on both sides and adjust the frame to the desired height. Fasten the spanner grips firmly.

Rear stop The rear stop should always be closed in the upright position when there is a user in Meywalk®4. Pull the rear stop backwards out of the seat and turn it upwards. Now you can push it down into the locked position. Repeat the procedure in reverse order to open the rear stop again.

Brakes The brakes are parking brakes that work by directly blocking the rear wheels with a braking pulley pressing against the tyre. To brake the walking aid, pull the brake levers away from the frame until they come to a definite stop. In this position the brakes are self-locking and it should not be possible to push the walker.

Anti-tip support Anti-tip supports are mounted on each side by first removing the bolts fixing the wheels. Use a 6mm Allen key. Place the anti-tip support against the outside of the rear fork of Meywalk®4 so that they fall into place in the two rear fork recesses. Screw bolts on both sides back on. Re-tighten firmly.

Trunk pad The trunk pad is mounted on the black polyurethane shell of the center box. First remove the screws and washers from the shell. Then mount the trunk pad using the screws that came with the trunk pad. Hip pads The hip-/side pads are to be mounted on the uprights.

CLEANING AND MAINTENANCE Meywalk®4 can be washed in warm water with detergent but take care not to wash the foam padding on the rear of the trunk support, handlebar and rearstop.
