Set-up
1. Inspect your stilts to make sure that all parts are accounted for.
2. Loosen four cuff post plate screws (see fig. A, pg. 8) and adjust
cuff post to desired height.
3. Evenly tighten the bolts just enough to prevent the cuff post from
rotating when used. Do not over tighten, as cuff post could be
permanently deformed, requiring replacement.
4. Unbuckle calf cuff straps.
5. Unbuckle foot and toe strap buckles (see fig. B, pg. 8).
6. Insert foot and tighten the calf cuff first (see fig. C, pg. 8).
7. Once balanced, tighten the the foot and toe straps.
8. Use the calf and foot strap ratchet buckles to fully tighten.
You are now ready to walk on your stilts. If you need to adjust the
tension, use the spring set adjustment nut on the spring assembly
(see fig. D, pg. 8).
Height Adjustment
1. Unlock the upper lockin and press the trigger on the lower lock
assembly to adjust stilts to desired height (see fig. E, pg. 8).
2. Ensure stilts are locked into place by checking to see if stilt legs
will raise or lower.
3. Re-latch the upper lock once the correct height is set.
NOTE: Never make height adjustment while standing on stilts.
Maintenance
Lubrication
In order to keep your stilts operating freely, it is necessary to keep
the "action" components reasonably clean and free of dents or
burrs. (Action components are those that pivot, slide, telescope,
etc.) Lubricate "action" components lightly with a silicone spray
or white graphite powder. Do not use lubricating products which
will remain wet and attract grit. Make certain soles are kept free of
lubricants or any other foreign matter which could cause loss of
traction.
Replacement Parts
Refer to the replacement parts list on page 9 to find out what parts
are replaceable. Contact your dealer for parts needs.
WARNING: Do not make modifications or substitutions
when repairing or reassembling your stilts. Always use genuine
replacement parts.
