A. Assembly Instructions

1) After opening the box, cut the plastic ties that secured the

U-Step II in transit.

2) Lift up on the tube at

the top near the seat so

that the seat becomes

horizontal with the

ground.

ress the seat down

until it snaps into place.

(Below)

3) Install the left and the right

handlebars.

If you have any doubt which is the

left and right handlebar, look at the

junction box below the seat and

you can see the left handle bar

cable is connected into the left side

and vice versa for the right.

Junction Box

Right Handlebar

Left Handlebar

You will need to push in the height adjustment button to slide

the handle bar into the lower height adjustment tube. (Left)

Also, when you insert the handlebars make sure that the cables

are routed to the inside of the handlebars, rather than the out-

side. (Right)

4) Adjusting the Handlebars to the proper height. Generally, the

handlebars are adjusted so that the handles are 2-3 inches above

your palm when your arm rests at your side.

5) Quick-Release Handle Bar Lock Lever

a. Slide each handle bar in by depressing the

spring-loaded pin at the bottom of the handle bar.

b. Rotate the Quick-Release Locking Lever

clockwise about three to six turns (B1), until the

lever is in the upright position, then flip the

lever straight down to tighten the handle bar

(B2).

c. Check whether the handle bar wiggles left or

right. If the handle bar wiggles, unlock the

lever and rotate it another turn clockwise; fold

the lever to tighten, and check again for any

wiggling. Repeat this procedure until the han-

dle bars are sufficiently tight.

6) Assembling the Backrest

There are three adjustment holes for the

backrest. (Left) Choose the one most com-

fortable for

you when you

sit down.

Insert the two bolts and wing

nuts provided to secure the back-

rest into place. Slide the bolt

through the top side of the tube

and secure with the wing nut

below. (Right)

7) Mounting the Basket

With the seat flipped up

from the rear (the side held

shut by magnets), position

the basket from underneath,

with the curved side toward

the front, so that the four

connecting bolts slide up

through the mating holes in

the seat frame. (7A)

Secure the basket using the four

washers and the wing nuts pro-

vided. (7B)

B. Braking

The U-Step II wheels will not

roll until you release the brakes

in one of the following ways:

1) Squeeze either or both hand

brake levers to release the

brakes.

2) ull up on the release bar of

the alternative brake accessory

discussed in section H.

1) Not everyone needs to adjust the tension control to be safe.

However, if you feel that the U-Step II rolls too easily for you,

use the tension control to add resistance. lace your U-Step II

on the surface where you walk most often. You will need more

tension on a smooth surface such as flooring than you will on

carpet.

2) Using a flat head screwdriver, loosen the locking blot about

two turns.

ARNING:

While sitting, DO NOT push

off with your feet to move

the U-Step II. This is unsafe.

D. Sitting Down

To sit down, you can either turn

around while holding the han-

dlebar, or pivot the U-Step II

around so that it is positioned

behind you and then sit down

on the seat.

When you are sitting on the

U-Step II you are facing back-

wards relative to the moving

direction of the U-Step II.

3) The Tension Control Lever is initially set to Low (L). ush the

Tension Control Lever forward (toward the H) to increase the

tension. Re-tighten the tension locking bolt making sure the

lever settles into one of the set holes. Note: If you do not posi-

tion the lever in a set hole, the tension lever might rub against

the side of the gray wheel.

4) Remember to

squeeze one of the

hand brakes while test-

ing the walker. Test the

rolling speed of the

walker; if you need

more or less resistance

adjust accordingly.

E. alking Over Obstacles

The U-Step II has a patented

spring-loaded front caster that

enables it to roll over obsta-

cles, such as door molding

strips and cracks in the side-

walk. It will help you ride over

obstacles as high as one half-

inch.

By removing the safety pins

that stop the rear wheels from

springing up, you can navigate

up larger obstacles such as

curbs without lifting the walker.

You can go up a curb or small

step by either stepping down

on the back of the base, or just

by pulling back on the handle-

bars, you can raise the front of

the walker to go up a curb or

small step.

After raising the front

end, release the

brake and roll up the

obstacle. This feature

requires reasonable

balance and is not

appropriate for every

one. If you feel

unsafe using this fea-

ture, keep the lock-

ing pins in place.

F. Transporting Your U-Step II

Re ease Lever

2) Reach down and pull

up on the horizontal bar

that has a sticker on it

reading “Lift Here to

folds up.

1) With the U-Step II

in front of you, raise

the release lever in

front of the seat and

tilt the seat upward.

3) Secure the Velcro strap to

4) Hold the U-Step II

by the side to place

G. Setup After Transporting

SAFETY NOTE: It is very important to press the

seat down until the Release Lever fully snaps into place.

1) Release the Velcro strap hold-

ing the U-Step II in the folded

position.

2) Allow the U-Step II to open –

with the base on the ground.

3) ress the seat down in the

middle until the Release Lever

snaps into place.

4) You can put the Velcro strap inside the basket so that it is

not hanging down.
