Invacare 6291E Adult - Manual (Page 2)

DUAL RELEASE WALKER Part No. 1061343 2
STABILITY WARNINGS CONTINUED
Invacare Walkers can provide ambulatory assistance for an individual weigh-
ing up to 136 kg (300lbs).
Invacare Walkers are designed to provide support, increased stability and
assistance to an individual while walking; it is NOT intended to support the
full weight of the user.
FOLDING/ASSEMBLY WARNINGS
After unfolding or assembling walker, ensure walker is securely locked in
OPEN position and level to the ground BEFORE using.
DO NOT hang anything on either the left or right side frames (area that
includes dual-release paddles). This will cause side frames to bend downward
and prevent walker from locking into place when fully opened. This may also
cause walker to tip, resulting in injury or damage.
INSTALLATION WARNINGS
Ensure all snap buttons fully protrude through adjustment holes of each leg
extension. This ensures that the leg extensions are securely locked in position.
The leg extensions should be adjusted so the walker is level. If an even height
cannot be achieved, adjust the leg extensions so that the rear of the walker is
no more than one (1) inch lower than the front.
Always test to see that the walker and attachments are properly and securely
locked in place BEFORE using.
OPENING THE WALKER (FIGURE 1)
1. To open the walker, pivot the left and right side frames outward.
2. Grasp the side frames and swing them outward until the release handles activate and
engage. This will indicate that the walker is opened and ready to test before use.
3. To test walker, grasp the side frames and with some force, attempt to fold them inward.
The walker will remain locked in the open position if it is engaged properly.
