User Guide

Preparing The Unit

The design of the Gait Master allows for a wide range

of users. This section explains the basic steps in getting

the unit in an arrangement that will allow the user to

comfortably get in/out and use the device. Additional

fine-tuning can be done based on preference and user

feedback (see Fine Tuning section). During preparation,

the user should NOT be placed in the Gait Master at any

time!

First, make sure the upper frame is free so slide up and

down inside of the lower frame. On each side of the lower

frame near the top of the square tube is a pull knob (Figure

7). This knob allows the upper frame to be locked to the

lower frame (No spring action). When the retaining pin is

in the shallow slot, then the upper frame is able to slide in

and out of the lower frame when downward pressure is

applied. This is what is desired at this time. If the pull

knob does not come out when you pull it, try putting

downward pressure on the upper frame while you pull the

knob out.

Gas Spring Handle Operation

The gas spring release handle has a

locking pin to prevent accidental

actuation of the gas spring. The

handle can be placed in three main

positions (see next page). Use the

pull ring to change handle positions.
