on wet or icy surfaces.

Wheeled accessories are only to be used on the front

DO NOT use the walking frame to go up or down stairs.

DO NOT use the walking frame on an escalator.

DO NOT leave or store the walking frame outside.

We do not recommend that an Invacare®Zimma frame is issued to anyone without

first carrying out a full assessment of their specific needs. It is important the user is

given the necessary support by the frame as prescribed by a qualified professional.

This is both for the safety of the user and also their recovery pattern.

3 USAGE

3.1 Using the walking frame

Place the walking frame a bit in front of you to enable you to take a step towards

it whilst using the grips for support.

3.2 Walking

With the walking frame in front of you, use the armrests of the chair as support and

rise gently to a standing position, by pushing downwards on the arms of the chair.

Once steady in a standing position, transfer hands to grips of frame.

3.2 Sitting down

Standing in front of the chair with the walking frame, the back of the legs should

touch the chair. Place hands on the arms of the chairs, lean forward slightly and

lower gently to a seating position.

3.3 Rise to standing position

WARNING

Never pull yourself up on the frame because of the tipping risk!

WARNING

Wheeled leg extensions MUST be installed with the wheels on the outside

of the walker.

Assessment of the height required should be carried out by a qualified professional.

If set to correct height, the user’s wrists should be in level with the hand grips when

standing in a fully upright position. The frame should then be able to take the users

entire body weight by pushing down on the frame when walking.

To adjust the height of the legs, press the two buttons together and twist the leg

to disengage the buttons. Set the leg to the required height before twisting the leg

back into its original alignment and relocate the buttons to the holes.

3.4 Height Adjustment

In order to avoid instability, make sure that all four legs are adjusted equally and the

walker is level, by repeating the above procedure.

WARNING

Check that the snap buttons are locking correctly to assure the proper

function.

4 CARE AND MAINTENANCE
