Push Handles

Height-adjustable push handles
These handles are secured with pins
to prevent them from sliding out
unintentionally. opening the quick-
release lever (1) makes it possible to
adjust the height of the push handles
(2) to meet your individual needs. As
you move the lever, you will hear a
locking mechanism; you can now
easily position the push handle as
desired. The nut on the tension lever
determines how tightly the push
handles are clamped 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 the
handle height, always clamp the tension lever (1) securely into
place. If the lever is not secure, injuries could result when
ascending stairs. (Fig. 5.29).
NOTE – If the height-adjustable push handles are not fitted
properly, there is a risk that these will develop "play" or that they
move out of position. Please make sure that the relevant screws
are tightened correctly.
Fold-down push handles
If the push handles are not in use,
they can be folded down depressing
the button (2). When they are needed
again, simply flip them back up until
they click into place. (Fig. 5.30).

inwards.
b. Slot the anti-tip tubes (1) into the
anti-tip tube adapter.
c. Turn the anti-tip tubes downwards
until the release pin locks into the
clamp.
d. Fit the second anti-tip tube in the same way.
2. Adjusting the anti-tip tubes

cm to 5.0 cm), the anti-tip tubes must be raised or lowered.

are drawn inwards. move the inner tube up or down to slot into
the height holes provided. Release the button. Fit the second
