1) Not everyone needs to adjust the tension control to be safe.
However, if you feel that the U-Step 2 rolls too easily for you, use
the tension control to add resistance. Place your U-Step 2 on
the surface where you walk most often. You will need more ten-
sion on a smooth surface
such as flooring than you
will on carpet.
C. Tension Control Adjustment (Optional)
3) The Tension Control
Lever is initially set to Low
(L). Push the Tension Control Lever forward (toward the H) to in-
crease the tension. Re-tighten the tension locking bolt making
sure the lever settles into one of the set holes.
Note:
If you do not position the lever in a set hole, the tension
lever might rub against the side of the gray wheel.
4) Remember to squeeze one of the hand brakes while testing
the walker. Test the rolling speed of the walker; if you need more
or less resistance, adjust accordingly.
