Important to know about safety before use
•
Take care when folding and unfolding, do not trap your fingers.
•
Be aware not to put your fingers in open holes or between stationary parts.
•
Check the brakes every time before use and that the walker locks into position when opened.
•
Not to be used by persons heavier than the maximum user weight (see table).
•
Do not use to transport heavy loads or persons.
•
The walker is not a toy and therefore should be treated in an appropriate manner.
•
Make sure that the lock wheel for height adjustment for the handles is locked tightly.
•
Be aware that some parts of the walker might feel hot or cold when exposed to extreme temperatures.
•
A training by a skilled person is advised, to learn how to use the product correctly.
•
Do not alter the product as this might put your safety at risk and the guarantee will be void.
Important to know about safety when in use
•
When stationary or parked, always use the parking brakes on both sides A.
•
Before sitting on the seat, make sure the parking brakes on both sides are in the locked position A.
•
Do not lean or bend sideways or over the back of the walker whilst in the seated position. Do not tilt the walker,
to avoid risk of falling. Due to the same reason, bags etc. must never be hung on the handlebars.
•
The driving brakes can be held in a little B to reduce speed, but must not be in locked position when the walker
is in motion.
•
To give the right support and safety, make sure the walker is kept as close to your body as possible C.
•
Walk straight, look forward and hold your backside in D. That is the easiest way to keep your balance.
•
Do not push the walker too far from your body as this can cause unnecessary strain and you could fall.
•
Do not use the walker on stairs. Be careful when descending thresholds etc.
•
Be careful when wearing flared skirts and trousers as they could get caught between the brake block and wheel,
which could lead to falling. We therefore recommend not wearing flared/wide clothing.
•
For safety reasons it is prohibited to sit on the walker during public transportation. Place your walker securely and
use the parking brake.
Assembling / adjusting
TOPRO TROJA is delivered assembled. Before use, you must unfold the walker. The height of the forearm support
tubes will then need adjusting to suit the user's needs. Please read the following paragraphs carefully.
Unfolding / folding
Unfolding: Loosen the strap between the forearm supports A. Release the lock clamp positioned at the seat bars B.
Press the seat bars down and out C. The side frames will slide apart. Press down the seat bars. You will hear a clicking
sound. The walker is now locked in its open position. Fasten the strap A.
Folding: Loosen the strap between the forearm supports A. Pull the strap on the seat D and press the side frames
together. Lock the clamp E over the seat bars.
Height adjustment of the forearm supports and adjusting the handles
Height adjustment: Unscrew the lock wheel C (approx. 4–5 turns). Adjust the forearm support tubes to a suitable
height and then pull them slightly up and down D until you hear a clicking sound. Tighten the lock C again. Adjust
both tubes to the same height.
Lowering: Unscrew the lock wheel C (approx. 4–5 turns). Push the forearm support tube down until it stops. Tighten
the lock wheel C again.

Recommended height:
Stand between the rear wheels. Relax your shoulders and hold your elbows in a 90-degree angle. The level of the fore-
arm supports should be fixed at the level of your elbows. A skilled person should help you with the adjustment of the arm
supports and the handles, to help avoiding bad posture.
Adjusting the handles: Unscrew the lock wheel A. You can now pull the handle B backwards or push it forward. It
is also possible to adjust the angle of the handle. After adjusting the handle to the wanted position, tighten the lock
wheel again. Be careful when unscrewing/tightening the lock wheel so that you do not hurt you fingers.
Height adjustment using the memory function
You have the opportunity to set the height of the forearm supports at a standard setting fitted to your requirements
so that you easily can find the same height again. This can be necessary when the walker is being transported or
stored as compact as possible. Decide on the height of the forearm support tube. Count visible holes at the back of
the tubes. Unscrew the lock wheel A. Pull the tube B out of the frame. The fastening piece C will now follow the tube.
Move the fastening piece C on the tube B so the number of holes corresponds to the number counted earlier. Fit the
