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. This indicates incor-
rect use and can cause wear and tear, which
makes the tires and brake quality weaker.
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
best possible grip, wipe off the tires with a
damp cloth. The wheels and brakes can be
replaced if they are worn out or damaged.

Transport
The walker can be transported either in
vertical or in horizontal position. It should
be set in the lowest height position to
save space and facilitate handling. Ensure
that the foot brakes are activated. Be
careful when loading the walker into a
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.
Cleaning
The walker can be cleaned using a damp
cloth. In case of mud and grime accu-
mulation, a cloth with a mild washing
detergent can be used followed by rinsing
with lukewarm water. Do not use high
pressure cleaners, abrasives or steam
wash. Dry the walker using a soft cloth.
