Operation Manual

Suitable for long or short term use by users whose own ability to support
themselves has been reduced due to age or transient/permanent disability.
Opening and Folding the Walker
To open the walker, hold the two sides of the frame in both hands and push
them away from each other. To ensure the frame remains open push the locking
mechanism located in the centre, from the handle, to lock it open (fig 2). To fold
the walker unlock the locking mechanism by puling it in the centre from the
single front wheel side, up towards the handles. Completely close the frame by
pulling it together at the handle end of the frame.
Handle Adjustment
Remove the hand knob and bolt. Pull the handle to new setting (there are five
fixed settings at 25 mm intervals), re-fit and tighten the knob, washers and bolt
ensuring that the head of the bolt is inside the hexagonal hole. (fig. 3)
Brakes
Operation
The Days Healthcare 240S Tri Wheel Walker is fitted with locking brakes. To apply
the brakes pull up on the brake handles. To lock the brakes push down on both
brake handles until they click into the locked position. To release the brakes simply
pull up on the brake handles until they click.
Adjustment
The pressure needed to brake can be adjusted by turning the knurled knob whilst
holding the nut below it. Both the knob and nut are located above the brake shoe.
Turning the knob anti-clockwise increases the pressure needed to brake by moving
the brake shoe nearer to the wheel and compressing the spring. It is a case of
trial and error to suit individual users' grip strength.
Days Healthcare recommend that any adjustments should be carried out by
your retail outlet or issuing prescriber.
 WARNING! - Brakes that are adjusted to give light pressure will be less effective at preventing rear
wheel movement under load. After any adjustment brakes must be tested to ensure they are still effective
in both locking and travel mode before general use. Failure to do so may result in injury to the user.
Safe Use
When using the walker be aware that stability depends on all three 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. Beware of wet floors and outdoor hazards such as leaves, snow and ice.
Ensure that the frame is opened completely with the folding mechanism locked in the open position.
When folding walker please ensure that all limbs and articles of clothing are free from entrapment.
Cleaning
The Days Healthcare 240S Tri Wheel Walker is designed for minimum maintenance. It is manufactured
from chrome plated tubing and requires the occasional wipe-over with a soft cloth and warm soapy
water. Do not use harsh abrasive materials!
Maintenance
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.
If the folding operation becomes stiff, loosen the bolt that fixes right hand side frame to the front wheel
support plate by about quarter of a turn.
Regularly inspect that the central locking mechanism is secure, i.e. no fasteners are loose or missing.
Upon finding any fault discontinue use of the walker and contact the retail outlet or issuing prescriber.
