Height Adjustment - TOPRO TAURUS H Bedienungsanleitung

EN
Intention
The TOPRO TAURUS is a walker, which shall give support to users with reduced balance and/or reduced walking
ability. The walker is not suitable for persons with low strength in arms and legs, with very poor balance, or with
considerable cognitive disabilities. The product is designed and approved for indoor use on plain foundation.
It is developed for pushing, not pulling.
Important to know about safety and use
•
The walker must be adjusted to the recommended height for right support and safe walking: Stand with relaxed
shoulders and have your elbow at a 90 degree angle A. Hold the walker as close to your body to maintain the
correct support and a safe walk B. The easiest way to keep your balance is to walk straight, look forward and
hold your backside in C.
•
Do not push the walker too far from your body as this can cause unnecessary strain and you could fall.
•
Do not push the walker forward if the front wheels have stopped at an obstacle. It may tilt and cause an accident.
•
Do not use the walker on stairs. Be careful when descending thresholds etc.
•
Maximum user weight is 150 kg. Maximum user height is 210 cm.
•
Do not let children play with the walker.
•
Some parts of the walker might feel hot or cold when exposed to extreme temperatures.
•
Do not put your fingers or any loose objects in the gap between the brake lever and the handle to avoid injury.
•
Do not alter the product as this might put your safety at risk and the guarantee will not be valid.

Height adjustment

Stepless hydraulic height adjustment
Pull the handle upwards A. Use a little body weight to press down or reduce the counter weight to increase
the height. Release the handle at the required height.
Adjusting the forearm support
The forearm supports are adjusted individually. Unscrew the lock underneath the forearm support A until the cushion
is moveable. Place at the required position and tighten the screw. NB! If the lock sticks out, it can be dangerous. Pull
the lever down and rotate it so that it does not stick out.
Angle adjustment and twisting the handle, TOPRO TAURUS H Premium
Unscrew the screw A until you can move the handle. Adjust the handle B to the required angle, length and twist,
and then tighten the screw. NB! The screw must not be screwed too far out as the parts will fall from each other.
If this happens, then put the pin C in the holes D and E. It is not possible to pull the handles all the way out; there
are physical stops both ways. See figure 1 for more detailed instructions.
Brakes, TOPRO TAURUS H Premium
Adjusting the brakes:
Unscrew the nut A. Tighten / loosen the brake wire with the adjusting screw B. Ensure the brakes work properly
and do not sweep when the brakes are off. Adjust the brakes evenly on both sides.
Important:
Ensure that the brakes work properly before each trip. Inspect the brakes frequently by following the information
above. The walker wheels are made of a soft rubber, which gives an optimal braking capacity on slippery floor. Wrong
use can cause unsafe situations and damage to the walker: The walker must not be driven or pushed with force when the
parking brakes are on or when the wheels are partly locked using the brakes. This indicates incorrect use and can cause
wear and tear, which makes the tires and brake quality weaker.
Using the parking brakes:
The brake lever C works on both rear wheels simultaneously. Push the brake lever forward. It has some resistance
before it stops and locks both the rear wheels. Pull the brake lever backwards to release the rear wheels. Inspect
the brakes frequently to make sure they work properly.
Using the driving brakes:
The brake lever D works on both rear wheels simultaneously. Pull the brake lever towards you to stop the rear
wheels. When the brake lever is released, the rear wheels are released. Inspect the brakes frequently by following
the information above.
Using the foot brakes
Step on the foot brakes A on the rear wheels or when required on all wheels until you hear a clicking sound.
The wheels are now in a locked position B. To release the wheels, step on the back of the foot brake pedal
so that it comes up again.
