ASSEMBLY INSTRUCTIONS

INTENDED USE

FEATURES

1. Carefully insert the brake assembly (g. 1, g. 1(a)) within the frame. Ensure that head of the screw

ts into the hexagonal hole on the inside of the tri-walker (see g. 1(b))

2. Ensure when brake assembly is inserted that both brakes are even in height and the Tri-Walker is

sitting evenly on the ground.

3. Insert locking hand wheel into the desired height adjustment hole. Turn clockwise to tighten

(g. 1 (c).

The steel Tri-Walker from Aidapt is a sturdy yet easy to manoeuvre design ideal for those who require

extra support when walking. The Tri-Walker features a special bag designed specically to t your Tri-

Walker. Only use bags supplied and designed this Tri-Walker.

Do not use or combine bags or baskets from other manufacturers.

In normal use, i.e. when both hands are placed on the handles of the Tri-Walker, please ensure it is fully

opened and locked into position. Always keep both hands on the Tri-Walker, do not put full pressure on

one side as this may cause tipping. When not in use, you can easily fold the Tri-Walker and store away

until required. The Tri-Walker is designed for use inside and outside the home. Please ensure ngers are

clear of the locking mechanism to reduce the risk of entrapment when closing the Tri-Walker.

1. To stop, gently apply a gripping pressure to both brakes simultaneously (g. 2), this will slow down

and stop your Tri-Walker.

2. The brakes on your Tri-Walker have a park option (g. 3). To operate the park option, push

downwards on both brakes simultaneously. You will feel the brake make a very slight click. Your

brakes are now in the‘lock’ position.

3. To unlock, simply pull up the brake again, you will hear a slight click as the ‘park’ disengages (g. 4).

1. The Tri-Walker bag should

be tted when the walker

is set in the open position.

2. Take the strap situated

upon the upper side of

the Tri-Walker bag, and

wrap this around the

diagonal bar of the frame

(g. 5) and push the stud

fasteners together. Repeat

on the opposite side.

3. Take the strap on the

side of the Tri-Walker bag

and wrap this around the

vertical bar of the frame

(g. 6) and again push the

stud fasteners together.

1. Your brake system will require periodic adjustment. The brake adjustment is similar to bicycle

brakes.

2. (g. 7) shows the brake handle in its default delivered position. Should the brakes need adjusting

they can be tightened by unlocking Nut A and then unscrewing (anti-clockwise) Nut B. When the

brake arm (see g. 9) has a 3mm clearance then Nut A should be retightened. An example of a user

adjusted brake handle is shown in (g. 8).

3. When adjusted the brakes should work in both normal braking and in parking mode. If needed

then Nut B in (g. 7 & g. 8) can be turned a further anti-clockwise, which will tighten the brake

cable more.

CARE AND MAINTENANCE & YOUR OBLIGATION

1. Only use your Tri-Walker for the purpose for which it is intended, which is an aid to walking. It is

intended that your Tri-Walker is only used on standard pavements, or at home and should not

be used on rough terrain or pot holed surfaces. The use of your Tri-Walker on these surfaces can

seriously compromise your safety.

2. Check that all wheels and the folding mechanism function correctly and that all wheels move

freely. Pay particular attention to the front wheel, ensuring that it rotates freely and without

obstruction.

3. Check the central locking bracket (see g. 10), always ensure that this is securely in place before

using.

Withdraw your Tri-Walker immediately if the central locking bracket will not locate or if any of

the wheels become dicult to turn or wobble or if you suspect damage or any other fault.

4. Monthly checks – check that the side locking levels are properly secure (g. 1(b))

a) Check that no components are loose.

b) Check the brakes; ensure that the brakes are correctly

adjusted.

Do not t any parts or accessories to your Tri-Walker

manufactured by any other company. To do so will annul your

warranty and, may seriously compromise your safety.

5. We suggest that you check your Tri-Walker visually every day.

However, we recommend that you should have your Tri-Walker

serviced every three months or less if used or issued to various

users. Servicing should be carried out at an approved service

station or directly by Aidapt.

4. If the brake handles are fully adjusted and more tightening is required refer to (g. 9) where further

adjustment can be made.

5. After adjustment, check the park brakes by pushing down on the brake handles, ensuring that both

brakes lock in the park position.

6. With the brakes o, lift the two‘braked’ wheels o the ground and spin to ensure they turn freely. If

either of the braked wheels rubs onto the brake arm, please check for obstructions and repeat the

brake adjustment procedure above.

7. It is important that you check brake adjustments on a regular basis to take into account wear and

tear. However, brake adjustment must be checked at least once a month and denitely prior to a

change of user.
