Push Handles
Height-Adjustable Push
Handles (Fig. 5.37)
These handles are secured
with pins to prevent them from
sliding out uninten tion ally.
Opening the quick-release lever
(1) makes it possible to adjust
the push handles to meet your
individual needs. As you move
the lever, you will hear a locking
mechanism; you may now easily
position the push handle as desired. The nut (2) on the tension
lever determines how tightly the push handles are clamp ed into
place. If the nut is loose after adjusting the tension lever, the
push handle will also be too loose. Turn the push handle from
side to side before use to make sure that it is clamped securely
enough into place. After adjusting handle height, always clamp
the tension lever (1) securely into place. If the lever is not
secure, injuries could result when lifting over obstacles.
Fold-Down Push Handles
(Fig. 5.38)
If the push handles are not in
use, they can be folded down by
depressing the button (2). When
they are needed again, simply flip
them back up until they click into
place.
