Loop Lock Operation

Always engage and disengage wheel locks on both sides simultaneously.

• To Slow Down or Stop: Pull up slowly on the loop locks with four fingers until the unit slows down or comes to a temporary stop.
• To Lock Wheels in Position: Press down on both loop locks with your palms until you hear a click.
• To Release Wheel Locks: Pull up on both loop locks with your palms to return them to the original position.

Hand Brake System Adjustment

The hand brake system is preset at the factory but may require adjustment over time due to normal wear.

• To Tighten: Turn the adjustment nut clockwise.
• To Loosen: Turn the adjustment nut counter-clockwise.
• Hold the brake mechanism firmly in place while turning the nut.

Safety Precautions

• Ensure the folding bar under the seat is locked in the down position.
• Always lock the loop locks before sitting.
• Do not use the seat on an incline or uneven ground.
• Do not have anyone push you while you are seated; this is a walking aid, not a transportation device.
• Replace tires when significantly worn or damaged.
