Adjusting the gait trainer to the child/range of adjustments

Settings/adjustments may only be undertaken by specialists that have received the requisite training or instruction (e.g. a
medical product consultant at a medical appliance specialist dealership).
Setting the saddle height
1. First set the height of the articulating arm at the central tube. To do this, undo the screw that is located on the side
of the front element and slide the articulating arm to adjust its height (fig. 17). Once the articulating arm has been
adjusted, secure it with the screw located on the front element. Ensure that the central tube and articulating arm are
securely fastened together and that the articulating arm cannot slip downwards under load.
2. Fine adjustment of the saddle height is achieved via the joints on the articulating arm and the threaded rod beneath
the saddle. To adjust the joint angle undo the respective screw that is located in the black area on the upper surface
of the joint (fig. 18). Place the articulating arm in the desired position and secure in-place by tightening the screw on
the upper surface of the joint.
3. To adjust the saddle height via the threaded rod beneath the saddle, rotate the nuts on the threaded rod above the
articulating arm upwards (saddle height is reduced) or downwards (saddle height is increased) (fig. 19). Once you
have set the desired height, secure the saddle at that height by rotating the nut below the articulating arm upwards as
far as possible and tightening it (fig. 20).
Changing the saddle position
The saddle can be fitted in two different positions. This allows its distance to the handlebar to be changed. To do this,
proceed as follows:
1. Loosen the lower nut that is located on the threaded rod beneath the saddle. Insert the threaded rod into the front or
rear of the two locating holes in the rearmost element of the articulating arm (fig. 6). Ensure that the saddle – to-
gether with the tube – is inserted into the locator in the direction of travel.
2. Replace the removed nut onto the threaded rod beneath the articulating arm. In so doing, ensure that the rubber
O-ring within the nut is facing upwards (fig. 7). Tighten the nut.
Adjusting the handlebar
1. First adjust the height of the handlebar by undoing the Allen bolt in the joint at the upper end of the handlebar tube.
To do this, the locking lever must first be released and the handlebar positioned such that the hole in the handlebar
locator aligns with the oblong hole in the handlebar tube (fig. 8). Now the long end of the Allen wrench can be
inserted into the tube until it locates into the head of the Allen bolt (fig. 9).
2. Insert the handlebar tube into the central tube of the tGo until it has reached the desired position. Please note that
the handlebar tube may only be pulled out as far as the mark – and no further. You can turn the handlebar through
360° within the central tube. This allows you to choose whether the handlebar locating bracket should face forwards
(fig. 11) or backwards (fig. 12). Then align the handlebar so that it is parallel with the front side of the tGo. Secure the
handlebar by fully tightening the Allen bolt inside the handlebar tube.
3. Place the handlebar in the desired position (fig. 21) and lock in-place with the locking lever (fig. 13). Secure the
locking lever with the built-in slider.
Adjusting the pad height
1. The height of the pelvis pad can be adjusted. To do this, the screw on the tube locator must be loosened. The pelvis
pad can now be slid up and down the tube to the desired height. Re-tighten the screw on the tube locator to secure
the pelvis pad (fig. 14).
2. The height of the chest pad can be adjusted by moving the tube to which it is fastened. To do this, undo the screw
at the top of the chest pad tube (fig. 22) and slide the tube to the desired height. Re-tighten the screw to secure the
chest pad.
3. The height of the torso pad can be adjusted. To do this, the screw on the tube locator must be loosened (fig. 23).
The torso pads can now be slid up and down the tube to the desired height. Re-tighten the screw on the tube locator
to secure the pads.
