Determining the Correct Handle Height
Stand upright behind the walker with your arms hanging at your side and both feet in line with the rear wheels. Adjust
the height of the walker handles so that they are even with the wrist of the user. This should create a 20 to 30 degree
bend in the elbow when using the walker.
Step 1: Align the hole in the handle with the hole in the frame to your selected handle height and hand tighten until the
screw is secure and the plastic knob is flush with the frame. Adjustment handle should be tight and not move
from side to side.) (see image 16)
Step 2: Attach the plastic cable guide to the frame of the walker. (see image 17)
Como Determinar la Altura adecuada de las agarraderas
Por detrás de la andadera, póngase de pie con sus manos por un lado y sus pies alineados con las ruedas traseras.
Ajuste la altura de las manillas para que estén al mismo nivel que sus muñecas. Esto causará que los codos se doblen de
20 a 30 grados durante el uso.
Primer paso: Alinee el agujero de la agarradera con el agujero del marco para obtener la altura preferida. Luego, meta
los tornillos de la agarradera y atornille hasta que estén apretados y seguros. La manilla del tornillo debe
permanecer apretada sin movimiento. (vea imagen 16)
Segundo paso: Enganche los cables de guía al marco de la andadera. (vea imagen 17)
To Open
Step 1: Place the walker in the upright position resting on the rear wheels. Hold both handles and squeeze the hand
brakes while pushing forward on the walker until it rests on all four wheels. (see image 18)
Step 2: Lift up on the padded seat and press down on the bottom of the bag. You will feel the center support bar
located under the carry bag. Push down until it locks into place. (see image 19)
To Close
Lift up the seat and pull on the nylon carry handle until the walker closes. (see image 20)

To Check the Hand Brakes
You should check to make sure the hand brakes are working properly before each use. Squeeze the brake handles to
make sure that the brake pad contacts the wheel and can stop the walker. Push down on the hand brakes until they lock
into position and make sure that the brake pad contacts the wheel and can stop the walker.
How to Adjust the Hand Brakes
The following information is designed to assist you with the adjustment of your Nova Feather Touch Hand Brake System.
Note: The braking system on your new Nova walker has been preset from the factory. To maintain this preset position,
be sure that the tension adjustment screw locking nuts are tight against the housing and the rear wheels (see image 24).
If you are still having difficulty with your brakes, you can adjust them by doing the following:
1. Hand Brake is too Loose
Loosen the tension adjustment screw locking nut and turn the screw one full turn clockwise (as viewed from standing
at the back of the walker). If this does not correct the adjustment, repeat one full turn at a time until you have adjusted
your brakes. Make sure the locking nut is spun tight against the housing to prevent the screw from loosening.
2. Hand Brake is too Tight
Loosen the tension adjust screw locking nut and turn the screw one full
turn counter clockwise (as viewed from standing at the back of the walker).
If this does not correct the adjustment, repeat one full turn at a time until
you have adjusted your brakes. Make sure the locking nut is pun tight
against the housing to prevent the screw from loosening.
