WARNING

•

DO NOT install or use this equipment without first reading and understanding these instructions.

If you are unable to understand the Warnings, Cautions or Instructions, contact a healthcare

professional, dealer or technical personnel before attempting to use this equipment - otherwise,

injury or damage may occur.

•

You should always consult with your physician or therapist to determine proper adjustment and

usage.

•

Invacare products are specifically designed and manufactured for use in conjunction with Invacare

accessories. Accessories designed by other manufacturers have not been tested by Invacare and

are not recommended for use with Invacare products.

•

If walker is exposed to extreme temperature (above 100°F or below 32°F), high humidity and/or

becomes wet, prior to use, ensure handgrips DO NOT twist on side frame otherwise damage or

injury may occur. Unit should be dry, and handgrips tight.

•

Check to make sure rubber tips and/or plastic glide tips are not ripped, worn or missing. Replace

before using walker. DO NOT use rubber tips on rear leg extensions when using front wheel or

brake options.

•

All leg extensions, must be adjusted so the walker is level. When using wheeled attachments,

extensions MUST be adjusted so side frames are level.

•

Rear extension legs with rubber tips or plastic glide tips MUST be in contact with floor surface at all times.

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 inch lower than the

front.

•

Glide tips are used on rear leg extensions ONLY to allow walker to roll easily over indoor

carpeted areas without the need to lift the walker off the ground. Glide tips are not recommended

for use on rough surfaces (concrete, gravel, etc).
Glide tips on rear leg extensions should only be used with front wheel attachments. DO NOT use

glide tips on all four leg extensions at once. DO NOT use glide tips and rubber tips at the same

time. Glide tips do not grip floor the way rubber tips grip flooring, therefore, caution should be

observed when in use.
When using glide tips on walker, short steps should be taken to assure weight is distributed evenly

and directly over Walker legs. These precautions will prevent uncontrollable movement of walker.

•

ALWAYS use caution when using the walker, esspecially on wet or icy surfaces.

•

ALWAYS observe the weight limit on the labeling of your walker. Check that all labels are

present and legible. Replace if necessary.
Invacare Walkers are designed to provide support, increased stability and assistance to an

individual while walking; it is not intended to support the full weight of the user.

•

After unfolding or assembling walker, ensure walker is securely locked in OPEN position and level

to the ground before using.

•

DO NOT hang anything on the front of the Walker. This may depress the release mechanisms and

prevent walker from locking into place when fully opened.

•

DO NOT hang anything on either the left or right side frames (area that includes dual-release

paddles) or the left and right slide tubes (area that includes palm release button). This will cause

side frames or slide tubes to bend downward and prevent walker from locking into place when

fully opened. This may also cause walker to tip, resulting in injury or damage.

•

Wheeled Accessories, if used, are ONLY to be used on the front walker legs with the exception of

Model Nos. 6264 - 10-inch Rear Wheel Brakes and 6265 - 13-inch Rear Wheel Brakes.

•

ALWAYS test to see that the walker and attachments are properly and securely locked in place

before using.
