If you are unable to understand the Warnings, Cautions or Instructions, contact a healthcare professional, dealer or technical personnel before attempting to install this equipment - otherwise, injury or damage may occur.

Part No. 1089633 LEG EXTENSIONS AND

WHEELED WALKER ACCESSORIES

STABILITY WARNINGS

Check to make sure that rubber tips and/or plastic glide tips are not ripped, worn or missing. Replace them BEFORE using the walker.

DO NOT use rubber tips on front leg extensions when using rear wheel/brake options.

When using rear leg extension with rubber tips or glide tips, all four legs MUST be placed on the floor for stability/support. Do not use only the two (2) rear legs for stability/support.

Glide tips are not recommended for use on rough surfaces including surfaces that may be experienced outdoors.

Glide tips are used on rear leg extensions ONLY to allow the walker to roll easily over indoor carpeted areas without the need to lift the walker off the ground.

Glide tips on rear leg extensions should only be used with front wheel attachments. Glide tips are NOT recommended for use on all four (4) leg extensions at once. DO NOT use glide tips and rubber tips at the same time. Glide tips do not grip the floor the way rubber tips grip flooring, therefore,

extra caution should be observed when in use. When using glide tips on a walker, short steps should be taken to assure that

weight is distributed evenly and directly over walker legs. These precautions will prevent uncontrollable movement of the walker.

INSTALLATION WARNINGS

Ensure all snap buttons fully protrude through adjustment holes of each leg extension. This ensures that the leg extensions are securely locked in position.

The leg extensions should be adjusted so the walker is level. If an even height cannot be achieved, adjust the leg extensions so that the rear of the walker is no more than one (1) inch lower than the front.

Swivel casters should be periodically checked for tightness and/or damage. If loose, tighten securely. If damaged, replace immediately.

After installation, ensure that the walker and accessories are properly and securely locked in place and hardware tightened securely BEFORE using.

Wheel Accessories are ONLY to be used on the front walker legs with exception of Model Nos. 6264 - 10-inch Rear Wheel Brakes and 6265 - 13-inch Rear Wheel Brakes.
