General Details

Walking frame brakes

Cable brakes activate by squeezing the brake handle towards the hand grip (e.g. similar to bicycle brakes). They can be applied temporarily or locked into position by pushing the brake lever away from the hand grip until it locks into position.

Options

Four swivel castors are available, however, this option offers no brakes.

Folding Mechanism

Spring-loaded push button: depress and hold down the push button whilst folding in the sides of the frame. When unfolding ensure the buttons lock into place.

Pull cord: pull upwards on the wooden ball to fold the front and back legs together.

Height adjustment mechanism

Spring-loaded push button. Depress and hold down the spring-loaded button whilst sliding the extension leg up or down to the desired set of holes. The extension leg height should be determined by the users own height to ensure the most effective and safe position. Make sure the spring-loaded button is fully extended through the desired hole before putting weight on the item.
