to transition from walking/standing to sitting and vice versa.

the shaft. If not, gently slide

the shaft up or down until lock engages.

Seat Lifting Force

Lift force is controlled by mechanisms located on both the left and right of the walker.
There are two components for each side - [A] and [B].

A B

Right

Important: [A] should be adjusted equally on BOTH sides before use. Similarly for [B].

Adjustments should also only be done when child is NOT seated.

Line Mark

On Disc

[A] controls the amount of lifting force the
child feels when sitting down. The higher the
force, the easier it will be for the child to get up.

[B] controls how smooth the transition is from

the first contact with the seat until [A] is

engaged. Decreasing [B] means it will be easier
for the child to sit down.

15

Seat Lifting Force

Starting from the left drum, turn Knob [A]
to adjust desired Spring Force either to Low

(1), Medium (2) or High (3).

Repeat the same to the drum on the right.

Spring force should be adjusted equally on
BOTH drum sides before use.

Adjustments should also only be done
when child is NOT seated.
