STABILITY WARNINGS
If walker is exposed to extreme temperature (above 100°F or
below 32°F), high humidity and/or becomes wet, prior to use,
ensure handgrips do not twist on side frame otherwise
damage or injury may occur.
Check to make sure rubber tips and/or plastic glide tips are
not ripped, worn or missing. Replace BEFORE using walker.
All leg extensions, must be adjusted so the walker is LEVEL.
When using wheeled attachments, extensions MUST be
adjusted so side frames are level.
DO NOT use rubber tips on rear leg extensions when using
front wheel or brake options.
Rear extension legs with rubber tips or plastic glide tips
MUST be in contact with floor surface at all times.
Glide tips are used on rear leg extensions ONLY to allow
walker to roll easily over indoor carpeted areas without the
need to lift the walker off the ground.
Glide tips on rear leg extensions should only be used with
front wheel attachments.
Glide tips are not recommended for use on rough surfaces
(concrete, gravel, etc.).
Glide tips are not recommended for use on all four (4) leg
extensions at once.
DO NOT use glide tips and rubber tips at the same time.
Glide tips do not grip floor the way rubber tips grip flooring,
therefore, caution should be observed when in use.
When using glide tips on walker, short steps should be taken to
assure weight is distributed evenly and directly over Walker
legs. These precautions will prevent uncontrollable movement
of walker.
Always use caution when using walker on wet or icy surfaces.
