Having the upper silver frame lowered into the lower
colored frame along with the caster legs swung - in is
sufficient for most storage/transportation needs. However,
the Gait Master can be further collapsed if needed.
Lower the center vertical column to reduce overall height:
This may be done in addition to the caster leg collapse.
The thoracic support may also be raised on the center
column to reduce the height even more, and should be
done first (Figure 20). It is assumed that the legs will also
be collapsed in this section. Lock the frames together
(Figures 60 & 61). The lowered position of the center
column may obstruct the collapse of the front caster legs,
and it may be necessary to collapse the two front legs
before the center column is lowered. If this is so, firmly
secure the unit so it will not tip over when the front caster
legs are swung inward.
Unlock and swing in the front legs. Hang on
to the center column so it does not shift down,
and loosen the socket screws (Figure 65a).
Lower the center column until
the desired height is reached,
and tighten the screws (Figure
65b). Unlock the left rear leg
swivel lock. Gently lay the
unit on its left side like Figure
62. Unlock the right rear leg
swivel lock, and allow the leg
to swing down. Secure the legs
as stated on page 37 (Figures
63 & 64).
