STABILITY WARNINGS AND GUIDELINES
• Glide tips on rear leg extensions should only be used with front wheel attachments.
• Check to make sure that the rubber tips and/or plastic glide tips are not ripped, worn or
missing. Replace them before using the walker.
• Glide tips are not recommended for use on rough surfaces including surfaces that may be
experienced outdoors.
• 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 of the ground.
• Glide tips do not grip the floor the way rubber tips grip flooring, therefore, extra caution
should be observed when in use.
• When using glide tips on a walker, short steps should be taken to assure that weight is
distributed evenly and directly over walker legs. These precautions will prevent
uncontrollable movement of the walker.
For this procedure, Fefer to FIGURE 1.
When properly installed, the leg
extension tube edge will rest inside the
top edge of the new glide tip. If the
tube edge is visible, the glide tip is not
installed properly.
There will be an audible “click”.

Ensure the snap button fully protrudes
through adjustment hole of the rear leg
extension.
