FITTING THE CARRY BAG (Should be already fitted)
1. The Tri-walker bag should be fitted when the walker is set in the open
position.
2. Take the strap situated upon the upper side of the tri-walker bag, and wrap
this around the diagonal bar of the frame (fig. 7) and push the stud fasteners
together. Repeat on the opposite side.
3. Take the strap on the side of the tri-walker bag and wrap this around the
vertical bar of the frame (fig. 7a) and again push the stud fasteners together.

ADJUSTMENT TO BRAKES
1. Your brake system will require periodic adjustment. The brake adjustment is
similar to bicycle brakes.
2. Fig. 8 shows the brake handle in its default delivered position. Should the
brakes need adjusting they can be tightened by unlocking Nut A and then
unscrewing (anti-clockwise) Nut B. When the brake arm (see Fig. 8b) has a
3 mm clearance then Nut A should be retightened. An example of a user
adjusted brake handle is shown in Fig. 8a.
3. When adjusted the brakes should work in both normal braking and in
parking mode. If needed then Nut B in Fig 8/8a can be turned further anti-
clockwise, which will tighten the brake cable more.
4. If the brake handles are fully adjusted and more tightening is required refer
to Fig. 8b where further adjustment can be made.
5. After adjustment check the park brakes by pushing down on the brake
handles, ensuring that both brakes lock in the park position.
6. With the brakes off, lift the two ‘braked’ wheels off the ground and spin to
ensure they turn freely. If either of the braked wheels rubs onto the brake
arm, please check for obstructions and repeat the brake adjustment
procedure above.
7. It is important that you check brake adjustments on a regular basis to take
into account wear and tear. However, brake adjustment must be checked at
least once a month and definitely prior to a change of user.
