TIPS
FOR USING YOUR HUGO® ROLLING WALKER FOR THE FIRST TIME:
- Lock the brake
- Stand, get your balance and step up to the Hugo® rolling
walker
- Unlock the brake
- Push the Hugo® rolling walker slowly forward so that
the rear wheels are a few inches ahead of your body.
- Step forward and place one foot in line with the rear wheels.
- Maintaining a steady and slow roll forward, place your other
foot in line with the rear wheels.
- Determine a pace that is comfortable and allows you to place
each step in line with the rear wheels.
- When you decide to stop, lock the brake for stability.
BEFORE SITTING ON THE HUGO® ROLLING WALKER, be
sure the brake is locked. This helps stabilize the Hugo®
rolling walker as you sit down, and can aid in case balance
is momentarily lost.
TO DETERMINE THE CORRECT HEIGHT OF YOUR HUGO:
- Stand behind the Hugo“ rolling walker with your arms
and hands hanging at your sides and both feet in line with the
rear wheels.
- Adjust the height of the walker handles (see assembly instructions)
so that they are even with your hip joint
- When you stand straight and grip the handles, your arms should
be slightly bent at your elbows (approximately 20 to 30 degrees).
