Failure to follow these safety precautions may result in serious injury.

Do not exceed the maximum weight limit of 130 kg.

If the walker has a basket, do not exceed its maximum weight capacity (3 kg). Loads can only be

carried in the basket. Do not place heavy objects on the walker. It might make it unstable.

Make sure all parts are securely fastened and in good working order before using the walker.

Make sure the walker is completely open and the seat is securely fastened before use.

Before starting to walk, make sure that the brake lever is disengaged and is not braking the wheels.

Test the brake lever before using the walker. When the wheels are locked, the rear wheel brake

shoe should prevent the wheels from turning.

Check that when the brake levers are released the wheels can turn freely.

Always lock the brake levers before sitting down.

Make sure that the two grips are fixed by the adjustment clip and are both at the same height.

Check that the walker is stable before putting your full weight on the handles.

Do not use the seat when the walker is on sloping or uneven ground. Only use the walker on flat,

solid surfaces.

Replace the wheels and ferules if they are badly worn or damaged.

To unfold the walker, follow the instructions below:

1. Lean the walker on its rear legs and push the

grips forward until they stop.

2. Lower the seat and fit it into the support tube.

3. Adjust the height of the grips and use the clip

to lock them in place.

To fold the walker, follow the instructions below:

1. Pull the seat out of the support tube by pulling

it upwards.

2. Lean the walker on its rear legs and pull the

grips until folded.

Do not move the walker while you or another person is sitting on it. This product is a walking aid

and should not be used for transporting anything.

Do not use the walker on stairs or escalators.

Use only original Forta brand accessories and parts.

Do not use the walker to walk backwards, in the opposite direction to the direction you are facing.

Do not make any adjustment or change to the walker while it is in use.

All wheels and ferrules must be in contact with the ground at all times.

Do not use the walker to mount curbs or sidewalks.

Do not use the product on wet, icy or snowy inclines.

If any part is damaged, broken or worn, contact your distributor for a replacement.

6.- Assembly and use

Insert the backrest into the tubes until it stops. Make

sure that the backrest is positioned on the outside

so that the seat can be used and securely fastened.

The brakes have two positions

1. Unlocked: To activate the brakes, pull the

brake lever towards the grip.

2. Locked: Lock the brakes by pushing the brake

lever down. The brakes will remain activated,

stopping the walker from moving until they are

released by pulling the lever towards the grip.
