1.2 INTENDED PURPOSE
The TOMTAR G-2E walking frame is intended for
use by persons with restricted mobility weighing
up to 130 kg. Its purpose is to provide additional
support and stability while standing and walking
(one step at a time) and when learning to walk
again. It is to be used when other walking aids
are not sufcient.
It is only to be used in enclosed spaces without
any steps and on a rm, level walking surface.
It is height adjustable and lightweight.
It is also precongured with two settings
so that you can use it as either a rigid or a
reciprocal walking frame (“reciprocal” means
that each side of the frame moves alternately).
It can be used both at home and in hospitals.
The walking aid is not suitable for children or for
anyone who is less than 155 cm tall.
If you have a custom-made device it will have
been labelled as such. In this case, the intended
purpose may differ from the one specied in this
manual and you should refer to the documenta-
tion supplied with the product.

3 PREPARING THE WALKING FRAME FOR USE
PREPARING THE WALKING FRAME FOR USE
The TOMTAR G-2E walking frame is delivered
ready assembled.
To save space during transport, it is folded away.
No tools are required to prepare the product for
use.
WARNING
Risk of trapping! Be careful of your hands
and ngers when unfolding the walking frame.
3.1 Unfolding the walking frame
1. Place a hand on each hand grip (Fig. 1).
2. Unfold both sides by swinging them out.
3. When you unfold the second side element (1,
Fig. 2), it will make an audible clicking sound.
This means that the folding lock (2 Fig. 2) has
engaged. You can check this by peering into
the plastic part of the folding lock from the
side. The spring pin should be clearly
protruding from the tube.
4. Once the lock has engaged, it should no lon-
ger be possible to fold in the side elements.
