- Page 7 A. Opening the UPWalker CardioAccelerator To open the UPWalker, begin by standing the UPWalker on all four wheels on a level floor (Fig A1a) . Carefully remove all packaging materials.

- Page 8 Attaching Resistance Dampers and Beverage Holder to UPWalker CardioAccelerator Rotate handgrips into a vertical position with resistance dampers hanging under handles with dampers on outside of handles (Fig B1). Remove retaining nut and bolt on end of pivot arm under each armrest using enclosed tools (Fig B2). Fig B1 Remove armrest locking pin (Fig B3) and lift up slightly on handle.
- Page 9 C. Use of CardioAccelerator Your CardioAccelerator is now ready to be used. With armrest locking pin removed, place forearms on armrests (see section “D”, pg.9 for correct armrest height before using) applying pressure on forearms. Alternating between your left and right arms, move hands up and down in a reciprocating motion pivoting at your elbows.
- Page 10 Reinserting the Armrest Locking Pin A two–stage approach to fully inserting the locking pin makes it easier. First, move the handgrip up and down slightly while inserting the locking pin with light pressure into in the outer hinge body hole (Fig C1). When the hinge holes line up, the pin will pop through the midsection of the hinge.
- Page 11 The armrest should be set at a height that is high enough that you feel support under your forearms when standing upright inside the UPWalker but not so high as to cause your shoulders to "hunch." Put equal weight on each forearm while using the UPWalker. You may find it beneficial to displace some of your body weight on your forearms while walking.
- Page 12 F. How to Use Parking Brakes To set parking brake, push the brake handle forward until it clicks in locked position. Some users may want to hold the hand-grip with one hand while using the other hand to push the brake handle forward.
- Page 13 Brake is Too Loose Use fingers or pliers to turn the barrel adjuster nut counterclockwise a half rotation (Fig G3). Try the brake. If this does not correct the problem, repeat turning the barrel adjuster nut a half rotation at a time until the brake functions as expected.
- Page 14 H. Positioning the Seat To walk in the UPWalker, pull the seat to the most forward position by lifting up and pulling forward the tab on the front of the seat (Fig H1). To sit on the seat, set the parking brake, pull the seat fully backward using the rear pull tab (Fig H2), and sit with legs facing the rear.
- Page 15 J. Locking and Unlocking the Wheels 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 J1). 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 J2).
- Page 16 L. Maintenance Check your UPWalker periodically to make sure that the brakes are working correctly and that all of the nuts and bolts are secure. Do not use the UPWalker if the brakes are not working correctly. If hand-grips are loose, do not use the UPWalker. Periodically inspect the wheels for tightness, wear and damage.
- Page 17 Personal Item Bag has Velcro straps which should be wrapped around the lower arms of the X frame located below the seat. (Fig M3 & M4). The UPWalker logo is designed to be on the front side of the bag facing away from you when using the UPWalker. Fig M3 Fig M4 Motion Activated Light The CardioAccelerator comes with a unique motion–activated LED...
- Page 18 Optional Accessories Available From LifeWalker's Website Shopping Bag (Fig M8) sits on the seat when seat is placed in the forward position under hand-grips. Support straps should be placed in the bend in the hand-grip tubes at the base of each hand-grip.
- Page 19 Beverage Holder, when using UPWalker as traditional upright walker, can be attached to either one of the hand-grip tubes (Fig M12). First, unscrew the knob on U-shaped tube clamp and remove the beverage holder from the U-clamp. Then slide "U" over hand-grip tube (Fig M13) close to armrest pad with hole on bottom and flat side of "U"...
- Page 20 The phone holder can be pivoted on the flexible arm to optimize viewing of the phone. Untighten/tighten the adjuster knob at the end of the arm to pivot the phone holder. DO NOT insert phone into smartphone holder while utilizing the reciprocating arm movement on your CardioAccelerator.
- Page 21 Safety Flashlight/ Taillight can be attached to the left or right hand-grip tubes (Fig M21) facing forward as a headlight (Fig M22) or backward as a taillight. As with other accessories, there is a "U" clamp which must be spread open so as to place the clamp on the hand-grip tube with the light on the outside and holes for bolt on the inside.
