How to use Kaye Suspension Walker?

Installing the Kaye Walker wheels

The leg extension was removed for shipping. Install them as follows

1. Remove the two nuts and bolts from each leg extension tube
2. Each leg extension has a sticker that identifies its location in the frame. Telescope each leg extension into the appropriate location; rotate the leg extension until holes C are aligned so that the plate to which the caster attaches protracts outward and runs parallel with the ground
3. Install the hardware that you removed from the leg into hole C and tighten it securely. When doing this, the bolt head should recess into the large hole on the outside of the leg. The nut should be securely attached to the inside of the leg

How to Care and Maintain Kaye Walker with Harness?

• Cleaning the Harnesses:
  • The vest and straps can be either hand or machine-washed with cold water and detergent
  • Ensure that all of the buckles and webbing are snapped and the velcro is hooked before washing
