STABILITY WARNINGS
If walker is exposed to extreme temperature (above100°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.
Check to make sure rubber tips and/or plastic glide tips are not ripped, worn or missing. Replace BEFORE using walker.
All leg extensions, must be adjusted so the walker is LEVEL. When using wheeled attachments, extensions MUST be adjusted so side frames are level.
DO NOT use rubber tips on rear leg extensions when using front wheel or brake options.
Rear legs extension with rubber tips or plastic glide tips MUST be in contact with floor surface at all times.
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 rough surfaces (concrete, gravel, etc.). Glide tips are not recommended for use on all four (4) 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 evenly distributed and directly over walker legs. These precautions will prevent uncontrollable movement of walker.
Always use caution when using walker on wet or icy surfaces.
