is recommended both hands be placed firmly on the
handles, with fingers curled around the brake levers so

Operating the Brakes
To stop the wheeled walker, gently squeeze the brake
levers until the walker comes to a complete stop.

leaving the walker unattended.
To lock the brakes, push down on the brake levers until
they click. Always check the brake lock is activated
before sitting on the seat.
To release the brake lock, pull up on the brake lever until
the lock disengages. Never release the brake lock while
sitting on the seat.

Before using the wheeled walker as a temporary seat,
ensure the wheeled walker is parked on a safe, level
surface.
