Special Warnings for this Product

1. Before use, be sure your Walker/Stroller is fully opened, the Seat is down
completely, and the folding bar beneath the Seat is in the locked position.

2. Check that both Handles are at equal heights. If one is lower than the other,
adjust accordingly. Apply gentle pressure to the Handles to test the stability
of the Walker/Stroller before use.

3. Test Brakes thoroughly before use. The brake bar on the wheels will prevent
the wheels from rolling, when the Brake is in the locked position (see Page
5, Hand Brake Operation). If the Wheels turn while Brakes are locked, have
the Brakes adjusted by an authorized technician. Under no circumstances
should you use this product if the Brakes do not lock properly.

4. Always put Brakes in the locked position before sitting on the Seat. Do not sit
on the Seat unless you are on even, level ground.

5. Check tires periodically, and replace when worn.

6. This product is not a cart or a wheel chair. Do not use it to push or

carry people or objects. Do not load more than 25 Lbs. in the Basket.
