How to Walk with a Walker
Determine Correct Walker Height
Stand behind the walker with your arms and hands hanging at your sides and
both feet in line with the rear wheels. Adjust the height of the walker handles (see
Assembly Instructions) so that they are even with your hip joint. When you stand
and grip the handles, your arms should be slightly bent at your elbows
(approximately 20 to 30 degrees.)
Walking with your Wheeled Walker
1. Roll your walker slowly forward so that the rear
wheels are a few inches ahead of your body.
2. Step forward and place one foot in line with the rear wheels.
3. Maintaining a steady roll forward, place your other foot in line with the rear
wheels.
4. Determine a pace that is comfortable and allows you to place each step in line
with the rear wheels.

How to A djust the Brakes
The following information is designed to assist you with the adjustment of your
Nova Feather Touch Hand Brake System.
NOTE: The braking system on your new Nova walker has been preset from the
factory. To maintain this preset position, be sure that the tension adjustment screw
locking nuts (see Fig. 2) are tight against the housing and the rear wheels.
1. Hand brake is too loose.
Loosen the tension adjustment screw locking nut and turn the screw one full turn
clockwise (as viewed from standing at the back of the walker). If this does not
correct the adjustment, repeat one full turn at a time until you have adjusted
your brakes. Then make sure the locking nut is spun tight against the housing to
prevent the screw from loosening.
