More Details
MATERIAL
T-6061 aluminium frame and fibre reinforced plastic. Available in various colours (plastic parts)

SEAT
Solid lift up seat with textured surface and two insets for cups (may not be deep enough to carry a cup of liquid with stability) while pushing the frame. Rounded edges prevent seat from cutting into user's legs. A lightweight cloth bag with handles is located under the seat. The bag is now made of fabric that cannot be seen through.

HANDLES
The handles are adjustable in 6 increments between 820mm and 980mm.
Adjustment points are numbered to facilitate correct height selection. The hand grips are moulded rubber with reflectors at the ends

FRONT WHEELS
Large swivelling 250mm front wheels with solid tyres. A swivel lock is optional.

REAR WHEELS
200mm rear wheels. Optional roll resistors provide variable resistance on these wheels, preventing free rolling. This may be a useful feature for people who lack confidence when using the walker.

STEPPER PAD
Located inside the rear wheels. Press down on the stepper pad with your foot and pull back on the handles at the same time to lift the front wheels to negotiate a kerb or small step.

ADJUSTMENTS
. Handle height adjustment - pull the Handle Height Adjuster tab out while repositioning the handle. Once the correct height has been selected, release the Adjuster and push the handle down until it locks into position.
. Seat height adjustment - pull both Seat Height Adjuster handles while repositioning the seat. Release both adjusters to lock the seat in position. Push down on the seat to ensure that both sides are firmly locked into position before sitting.

BRAKES
The brake cables are protected and hidden safely away inside the walker frame. The brakes retain correct adjustment regardless of the position of the handles. Any necessary adjustment is done with a allen key.

FOLDING

To unfold - reverse the procedure

SAFETY
In built red reflectors in the handles and reflective tape on the frame
