Adjusting the brakes (see fig. 4)
1. There are two brake adjusters on both sides of the walker - one in front of the brake lever and the other on the rear
frame legs, behind the wheels.
2. To adjust the brake lever, loosen the lock nut (you may need to use the appropriate tools for this), turn the adjuster
counterclockwise to increase the brake pressure, and then tighten the lock nut again (see fig. 4).
3. To adjust the brake on the rear legs of the frame, loosen the lock nut (you may need to use the appropriate tools
for this), turn the adjuster counterclockwise to increase brake pressure, and then retighten the lock nut. Correct
adjustment of the brake mechanism requires no more than 3-4 mm gap between its lining and the wheel - these
elements should also not touch each other.
4. Note: After changing the settings of the brakes, they should be tested before using the walker.
5. If the brake pressure does not increase as a result of the adjustment, the walker must not be used
