BEFORE adding rear leg extension options.
NOTE: Front wheels can be used in conjunction
with the rear glide tips included or by adding the
allowable rear wheel option as shown in the chart
above.
NOTE: When using 5-inch swivel accessories on
the front of the walker, 13-inch rear leg accessories MUST be used. Otherwise, height adjustment
will be limited.
*NOTE: There are ONLY five (5) kits available
which allow you to order one (1) number to get
both FRONT wheels and REAR leg extensions. All
other available combinations MUST be ordered

GENERAL WARNING
DO NOT install or use this equipment without first reading and understanding this instruction sheet. 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.
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.
DO NOT use glide tips and rubber
tips at the same time.

WHEELED WALKER ACCESSORIES
STABILITY WARNING
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.
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 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 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 is tight BEFORE using.
Wheel Accessories are ONLY to be
used on front walker legs with exception of Model Nos. 6264 - 10-inch Rear
Wheel Brakes and 6265 - 13-inch Rear
Wheel Brakes.
