User manual MULHOLLAND WALKABOUT 3&4

[. . . ] The adjustment levers can be ratcheted so the handle can rotate without affecting the tightness of the screw. Release the black knob, and let the handle slide back and lock with the screw. Press in on the button (1) with your thumb while extracting or inserting the pin. Figure 3 1 6 Assembly Instructions: Column Adjustment Figure 4 Tube: 1 Refer to figure 4 . [. . . ] If this support is too high or too low, it will not provide the stability required for the child to step forward. Trunk support height: Loosen the two adjustment levers (4) on the back of the trunk support clamp plates. Position the trunk support so the distance from the 3 top of the trunk support to the top of the sit bar is equal to measurement #3. Tighten both adjustment levers. Figure 7 4 Pitch: The child s shoulders should be directly over, or slightly in front of, his lower body and feet (in most situations) with the pitch of the column at approximately 85 degrees to the floor. Occasionally the column will be positioned in a more upright, or more prone position to improve the child s gait pattern or to diminish primitive reflex patterning. 10 (Pitch continued) There are two ways to adjust the pitch, or forward tilt, of the WalkaboutTM: 1. b) Shorten the back strap and lengthen the front strap of the trunk support. Note: Lengthening the back strap and shortening the front strap will tilt the upper body back upright. b) Raise the upper clamp assembly (and frame braces) while tilting the column forward. c) When the desired angle is achieved tighten the allen screws to secure the column. Note: lowering the upper tube clamp assembly will tilt the column backward. Figure 8 Figure 9 11 Column Height: Refer to figure 10. After setting the pitch and the seat-to-trunk support distance, set the column height. 3 Figure 10 12 1. Measure the inseam: 1 Determine the child s inseam height: ____ a) If the child requires support at the upper trunk to stand, measure from the floor to 2 inches above the inseam. b) If the child requires only hip support to stand, measure from the floor to the inseam. Adjust the Column Height: a) Loosen the levers (1) and then remove the ball lock pin on the rear column adjustment tube. b) Slide the rear column (2) up/down so that the seat height is the same as the inseam height determined above. c) Replace the ball lock pin and tighten the levers to secure the rear column in place. d) For more precise adjustments, rotate the crank (3) clockwise to raise the column assembly or counterclockwise to lower the column assembly. 2 Spring/Shock Tension: The seat and pelvic/trunk supports assist in lifting the child into standing. Depress the slide lock B2 bar (1) and hold it in to release the spring stop (2). Slide the spring stop Figure 7A up/down to adjust the spring assistance. Release the slide lock bar to lock the spring stop in the desired position. For the variable shock pressure adjustment use the supplied hand pump (3), pump the shock up to the required pressure to give the particular user adequate support. Damping control: (Refer to figure 12) Turn red knob clockwise to increase damping (slow rate of return) and counter- clockwise to decrease. Figure 12 13 Adjustable Length Base: Refer to figure 13 & 14. [. . . ] Handle angle and depth: Loosen the allen screw at the base of the handle (5). Do not exceed the load limit shown on the name plate and in this manual. The rear anti-tipper wheels need to be at least 1/2 (2. 5cm) off the floor. Adjust the height of the seat prior to putting the user in the device. [. . . ]
