LOCKING MECHANISM
1. Open out the tri-walker frame by pulling the
grip handles outwards in opposite directions
forming a ‘V’ shape. Once this is completed
pull/push the central locking bracket so the
plates are parallel.
Ensure the frame is locked before using it
and never use a semi-closed position as
this may lead to the frame collapsing.
2. To close your tri-wheeled walker push open
the central locking bracket and then apply
pressure to the outside of the handgrips and
the walker will fold. Please ensure fingers are clear of the locking
mechanism to reduce the risk of entrapment when closing the Tri-Walker.
OPERATING THE BRAKES
1. To stop, gently apply a gripping pressure to both brakes simultaneously
(fig.6), this will slow down and stop your tri-walker.
2. The brakes on your tri-walker have a park option (Fig. 6a). To operate the
park option, push downwards on both brakes simultaneously. You will feel
the brake make a very slight click. Your brakes are now in the ‘lock’ position.
3. To unlock, simply pull up the brake again, you will hear a slight click as the
‘park’ disengages (Fig. 6b).
