Operation Manual

110 BARIATRIC WALKER
Introduction
The Days Healthcare 110 Bariatric Walker is a multipurpose walker manufactured from painted steel
tubing with four solid tyre wheels. It incorporates a rest seat, basket and locking brakes. This walker also
has adjustable handles and can be folded flat for storage or transportation.
First Assembly
1) Remove all packaging.
2) Fit cross bar (fig. 1-A) into front sockets on the frame (fig. 1-B) and push fully
down.
To secure the cross bar make sure the retaining spring buttons (fig. 1-C)
have located through the hole in both sockets.
Handle Adjustment
Remove the hand knob and bolt (fig. 1-D). Pull the handle to new setting (there are five fixed
settings at 25 mm intervals), re-fit and tighten the knob and bolt ensuring that the head of
the bolt is inside the hexagonal hole.
Operation
The 110 Walker is fitted with locking brakes. To apply the brakes pull up on the brake
handles (fig. 2). To lock the brakes push down on both brake handles until they click into
the locked position (fig. 3). To release the brakes simply pull up on the brake handles until
they click.
Before using the walker as a rest seat both brakes must be applied and the frame
pushed forward to check that it is not moving. The brakes only lock the back wheels so
the user must not expect the frame to be completely immobile.
If the user finds the brakes hard to apply, the pressure can be adjusted by reducing the
tension in the spring above the brake shoe (fig. 4). Hold the hexagonal nut and turn the
knurled nut to vary the brake pressure i.e. the distance between the shoe and the tyre, when
the brakes are off. It is a case of trial and error to suit individual users' grip strength.
WARNING! - Brakes that are adjusted to give light pressure will be less effective at preventing rear
wheel movement under load.
When using the walker be aware that stability depends on all four wheels being in contact with the flat
surface. Care should be taken when negotiating uneven ground, inclines, kerb etc. as stability will
inevitably be reduced.
Folding for Storage or Transportation
To fold the walker for storage or transportation pull on the strap, thus pulling the
locking mechanism (fig. 5-A) up and allowing the wheels to
come together. Pushing down on the handles unfolds the walker.
Cleaning & Maintenance
The Days Healthcare Bariatric Walker is designed for minimum maintenance. It is manufactured. from
painted steel tubing and requires the occasional wipe-over with a soft cloth. Do not use harsh abrasive
materials.
Daily, before use, check the effective operation of the brakes. Check that the wheels turn and swivel freely
and there is no debris building around the axle. Periodically check that all screws, nuts and bolts are
securely fastened. Check moving parts for wear.
