SITTING ON THE WALKER

•  Ensure the hand brakes have been activated.

•  While holding onto the handles turn with your back facing the seat and pull the walker towards you until 

it can be felt against the backs of your legs.

•  Slowly and carefully lower yourself onto the seat.

WARNING: The Backrest is intended to provide back support while seated. 

 

The backrest is NOT intended to support full body weight. Refer to correct seating 
guide on the next page. 

WARNING! ALWAYS sit centrally on the walker, avoid leaning heavily in any direction 
as this may cause the walker to become unstable.

WARNING! You should NOT sit (partly) above the shopping bag.

WARNING! ALWAYS sit up right on the walker while resting your forearms or hands 
on the push handles.

WARNING! NEVER propel yourself with your feet using the walker as a transportation 
device – it is NOT designed for this purpose.

WARNING! NEVER allow another person to push you along while seated on the 
walker – it is NOT designed as a transportation device and is NOT a substitute for  
a wheelchair.
