SAFETY SUMMARY
To ensure the proper use of Invacare Walkers, these instructions
MUST be followed:
GENERAL WARNING
DO NOT install or use this equipment without first reading and
understanding these instructions. If you are unable to understand
the Warnings, Cautions or Instructions, contact a healthcare
professional, dealer or technical personnel before attempting to
install this equipment - otherwise, injury or damage may occur.
Each individual should always consult with their physician or

Invacare products are specifically designed and manufactured for
use in conjunction with Invacare accessories. Accessories designed
by other manufacturers have not been tested by Invacare and are
not recommended for use with Invacare products.

STABILITY WARNINGS
If walker is exposed to extreme temperature (above 100°F or
below 32°F), high humidity and/or becomes wet, prior to use,
ensure handgrips do not twist on side frame otherwise
damage or injury may occur.
Check to make sure rubber tips and/or plastic glide tips are
not ripped, worn or missing. Replace BEFORE using walker.
All leg extensions, must be adjusted so the walker is LEVEL.
When using wheeled attachments, extensions MUST be
adjusted so side frames are level.
DO NOT use rubber tips on rear leg extensions when using
front wheel or brake options.
Rear extension legs with rubber tips or plastic glide tips
MUST be in contact with floor surface at all times.
Glide tips are used on rear leg extensions ONLY to allow
walker to roll easily over indoor carpeted areas without the
need to lift the walker off the ground.
Glide tips on rear leg extensions should only be used with
front wheel attachments.
Glide tips are not recommended for use on rough surfaces
(concrete, gravel, etc.).
Glide tips are not recommended for use on all four (4) leg
extensions at once.
DO NOT use glide tips and rubber tips at the same time.
Glide tips do not grip floor the way rubber tips grip flooring,
therefore, caution should be observed when in use.
When using glide tips on walker, short steps should be taken to
assure weight is distributed evenly and directly over Walker
legs. These precautions will prevent uncontrollable movement
of walker.
Always use caution when using walker on wet or icy surfaces.

STABILITY WARNINGS (CONTINUED)
Invacare Walkers can provide ambulatory assistance for an
individual weighing up to 300 lbs. (136 kg.) for Single-Release
(6281 Models), Paddle (6291 Models) and Blue-Release™(6241
Models) Walkers, and 500 lbs. (226 kg.) for the Heavy Duty
Walker (6291-HDA Model).
Invacare Walkers are designed to provide support, increased
stability and assistance to an individual while walking; it is not
intended to support the full weight of the user.
FOLDING/ASSEMBLY WARNINGS
After unfolding or assembling walker, ensure walker is securely
locked in OPEN position and level to the ground BEFORE using.
DO NOT hang anything on the front of the Blue-Release Walker.
This may depress the release mechanisms and prevent walker
from locking into place when fully opened.
DO NOT hang anything on either the left or right side frames
(area that includes dual-release paddles) or the left and right
slide tubes (area that includes palm release button). This will
cause side frames or slide tubes to bend downward and prevent
walker from locking into place when fully opened. This may also
cause walker to tip, resulting in injury or damage.
INSTALLATION WARNINGS
Ensure all snap buttons fully protrude through adjustment holes
of each leg extension. This ensures that the leg extensions are
securely locked in position.
Wheeled Accessories, if used, are ONLY to be used on the front
walker legs with the exception of Model Nos. 6264 - 10-inch Rear
Wheel Brakes and 6265 - 13-inch Rear Wheel Brakes.
The leg extensions should be adjusted so the walker is level. If an
even height cannot be achieved, adjust the leg extensions so that the
rear of the walker is no more than one (1) inch lower than the front.
Always test to see that the walker and attachments are properly
and securely locked in place BEFORE using.
