General Safety Warning
Please ensure these instructions are fully read and
implemented. Failure to do so may result in injury.
Retain these instructions in a safe place for future
reference.
1.0 Intended Use
These crutches are designed to provide additional
support to people who have difficulty walking but are
able to partially weight bear. The ergonomically
designed handles are shaped to give superior pressure
distribution and increased comfort, especially beneficial
for people with arthritis or painful hands.
2.0 Safety Precautions
Use of the crutches should be subject to clinical
assessment and advice from a healthcare professional.
Do not exceed the maximum user weight 20st, 127kg.
Do not use if the crutches are faulty or damaged.
Do not use on wet, slippery floors or outdoors in adverse
weather conditions.
Do not hang items from the handles or cuffs as this will
affect the stability of the crutch during use.
Always plan the route to avoid obstacles before use.
Take care on sloped surfaces, stairs and when crossing
door thresholds and curbs etc.

suspect any faults, do not use and contact your supplier
