PROPER ADJUSTMENT AND
WARNING: Use stilts in open spaces, away from windows and
stairwells. Keep floor clear of any obstructions and potential
hazards (e.g., paint, drywall mud, plastic sheeting, etc.) Get help
from a skilled stilt user when fitting and mounting your stilts.
Attaching Straps
CAUTION: Always attach the Calf Strap before fastening the
Foot Straps. Remove straps in reverse order by unfastening the
Foot Straps first, then the Calf Strap.
1. Put on stilt, keeping one foot firmly on the ground. Attach the
Calf Strap, followed by the Ankle and Toe Straps.
2. With help from a skilled stilt user, lift yourself onto the
second stilt, keeping legs comfortably apart and your weight
balanced. Fasten the Calf Strap, then Ankle and Toe Straps.
3. Make sure all straps are tight and secure.
NOTE: When mounting stilts above 18" it is best to start from
a sitting position using a ladder or scaffold. Have a skilled stilt
user help you mount and balance from a sitting position.
Forward/Backward Stability
If you feel your weight shifting forward or
backward while wearing the stilts, try the
following adjustments:
1. Make sure your Heel Cup fits properly, so
your leg is aligned with the Upper Side Pole.
2. Adjust the Leg Cuff. To move your balance
forward, loosen the Upper Side Pole
Clamp and rotate the Leg Cuff a little
to the back of your calf. To move your
balance backward, rotate the Leg Cuff
a little to the front of the calf. Retighten
Clamp. Make sure Clamp is tight to
prevent twisting.
