6 Hand brakes
(Taurus H Premium)
Ensure the brakes are working properly
before every trip. Do not drive or push
the forearm walker while the parking
brakes are activated or when the wheels
are partly locked using the brakes.
Parking brakes: Push both brake levers
forwards (A) to activate the parking
brakes. Be aware that the lever has some
resistance before it stops and locks the
rear wheel. Pull both brake levers towards
you to release the parking brakes.
Driving brakes: Pull both brake levers
towards you (B) to reduce speed. It is
a two-handed braking system, which
means that the brake is activated for
the rear wheel on the same side of
the walker as the brake lever. When
applying only one of the brakes, the
walker will turn to the same side when
walking. Releasing the lever will stop
the braking. Do not continuously use the
brakes when the walker is in motion.
Adjusting / checking: Loosen the nut
(C). Tighten / loosen the brake cable with
the adjustment screw (D). Ensure that
the brakes are working properly and
only touching the wheels when in use.
Adjust the brakes evenly on both sides.
Maintenance: Inspect the brakes regular-
ly by following the information above. For
an optimal grip, wipe off the tires with a
damp cloth. The wheels and brakes can be
replaced if they are worn out or damaged.

vehicle, giving attention to securing it.
Storage
The walker should be stored indoors and
in an upright position. Do not place heavy
items on top of it while stowed away.
