WARNINGS
• Do not use this product or any accessories without first
completely reading and understanding all instructions.
If you are unable to understand the warnings, cautions or
instructions, contact a healthcare professional, dealer or
technical personnel before attempting to use this equip-
ment. Failure to do so may result in an injury.
Consult with your physician or therapist to obtain specific
instructions pertaining to walker adjustment and use.
Medline walkers are designed and tested for use in
conjunction with Medline accessories. Walkers or walker
accessories designed by other manufacturers have not
been tested by Medline and are not recommended for use
with Medline products.
• Exercise caution when using the walker. Avoid wet or
icy surfaces. Remove all obstacles from your path as they
increase your chance tripping or falling.
• Do not push one side of the walker forward and then
the other side without lifting the walker.
• Do not use walker on stairs or steep surfaces.
• Check that the walker and attachments are properly
secured in place before using. Do not use anything other
than the manufacturer’s recommended accessories on
the front or side of the walker. This may depress the
release mechanisms and prevent walker from locking
into place when fully opened. Using accessories not
recommended by the manufacturer may result in damage
to the product or injury. Do not use a walker if the locking
mechanisms do not function properly.
• Make sure all hardware including nuts, bolts, rivets,
and fasteners are securely fastened. If the walker has
noticeable play or seems unstable, stop using the walker
immediately.
• After unfolding or assembling walker, make sure the
walker is securely locked in the open position and level to
the ground before using.
• The handgrips must be tight and secure. Ensure that
the handgrips do not twist or move.
• Ensure that tips and/or plastic glide caps are not ripped,
worn or missing. Replace the tips as necessary before
using the walker. When using wheeled extensions on the
front of the walker use the provided glide caps for the
rear extension legs.
• All leg extensions must be adjusted to the same height
to ensure the walker is level. When using wheeled
attachments on the front legs, the rear leg extensions
must be adjusted to make the side frames level or with the
back 1 inch lower than the front.
• Rear extension legs with glide caps must be in contact
with floor/ground surfaces at all times.
• Glide caps are used on rear leg extensions only to allow
walker to roll easily over indoor floor surfaces without
lifting the walker off the ground. Glide caps are not recom-
mended for use on rough surfaces (concrete, gravel, etc).
• Glide caps on rear leg extensions should only be used
when the front extensions have wheels. Do not use glide
caps on all four leg extensions at once.
• When using glide caps on the walker, short steps should
be taken. Make sure that your weight is distributed evenly
and directly over the walker legs. These precautions will
prevent uncontrollable movement of walker.
•Always observe the weight limit on the labeling of your
walker. The walker is not intended to support the full
weight of the user.
•Wheeled accessories are only to be used on the front
walker legs with the exception of wheeled accessories
with brakes.
