Walker leg attachment options
3" or 5" swivel wheels
Swivel wheels, providing a full 360° turning radius, make it easy to maneuver in confined areas. The 3" wheels
are ideal for navigating over flat surfaces, especially indoors. The large 5" wheels are ideal for navigating difficult
terrain such as door sills, pavement, grass, and carpet. Swivel wheels attach to the front of Everyday Dual-Release
Folding Walkers only. We recommend the use of Graham-Field Health Products glide brakes with swivel wheels.
3" and 5" fixed wheels
Fixed wheels, converting your Everyday Dual-Release Folding Walker into a mobile aid, provide forward mobility with no lateral movement. 3" wheels are ideal for use over flat surfaces, especially indoors. 5" wheels are ideal
for navigating difficult terrain such as door sills, pavement, grass, and carpet. Fixed wheels attach to the front of
Everyday Dual-Release Folding Walkers only. We recommend the use of Graham-Field Health Products glide
brakes with fixed wheels.
Glide brakes
Glide brakes, for use in conjunction with swivel wheels or fixed wheels, provide a safe, gradual braking action for
rear Everyday Dual-Release Folding Walker legs. Glide brakes allow rear walker tips to gradually touch the
surface by pressing down on the rear walker legs, preventing forward motion.

5" Auto-Stop™ wheels
Auto-Stop wheels, designed as a wheel and braking system, combine rolling and braking in one product. Use on
front or rear legs.
For use on front legs of Everyday Dual-Release Folding Walker: 5" rubber wheels are ideal for navigating
difficult terrain such as door sills, pavement, grass, and carpet. Wheels stop rolling when weight is applied to
the front of the walker. Rear wheels are not recommended when Auto-Stop wheels are on front legs.
For use on rear legs of Everyday Dual-Release Folding Walker: Recommended for use when fixed or swivel
wheels are on front walker legs. By adding 5" wheels to a wheeled walker, mobility is maximized. The AutoStop feature provides a safe gradual braking action for rear walker legs.
WARRANTY
One year limited warranty. For additional warranty information,
please contact your Graham-Field Health Products dealer.
