Notes on safety

• Before using the tGo for the first time, read the operating instructions carefully – or have them read aloud to you if
you have difficulty reading. If you have lost the operating instructions you can download them at any time from the
download page of our website at www.thomashilfen.com
• We recommend that you read just the settings of the tGo at least every three months to suit the actual size of your
child's body. This should be carried out with assistance from your therapist/orthopedic technician where appropria-
te.
• Never leave the tGo user unsupervised in the gait trainer!
• The proper function of the parking brake should be checked before each use of the tGo. If the brake does not functi-
on properly the tGo may not be used. Please contact your specialist dealer to resolve the problem.
• CAUTION: It should be ensured that limbs are not trapped in the gap between the wheel and the wheel fork.
• CAUTION: Be aware that there is an increased pinch hazard when making settings and adjustments to the tGo.
• CAUTION: Wet wheels can affect the performance of the brakes. During a longer pause you should secure the tGo
against unintended rolling by applying the parking brake.
• The gait trainer should only be used on a level, horizontal and firm surface. Be aware of unevenness and holes in the
floor. There is a risk of tipping over or becoming stuck.
• You should not hang or place heavy bags or other similar items on the tGo because this will increase the risk of it
tipping over.
• Please keep your children away from the packaging – there is a risk of suffocation.
• When accessory parts are removed tube ends may be left open. These may be sharp-edged and therefore present a
risk of injuries to fingers that are poked into these openings. The tGo and its accessories have been designed to avoid
such risks. However, should open-ended tubes still present a risk they should be closed off using plastic plugs.
• The pad elements must not be eaten.
