4 The use of the tri-walker will help people improve their mobility. When you are walking with your tri-walker make sure that you walk fully upright, with the tri-walker near your body. This is for the best support and the safest movements. If you follow this order for movement with your tri-walker you will have the correct body position. Confronting pavements and unequal surfaces: Do not drive into kerbs. Inspect the slope always for risks, such as holes or slippery and uneven surfaces before you walk further. Going up the pavement: When you want to go up a pavement you should do this in the following manner: Push the tri-walker. Tip the tri-walker so the front wheels are lifted. When the front wheels are above the pavement you can let the tri-walker down. Now you can push the tri-walker forwards and place the rear wheels on the pavement. Going down the pavement: Carefully roll the tri-walker forwards. When the front wheels are off the pavement you can let the tri-walker down. Now you can push the tri-walker forwards and place the rear wheels back onto the ground.
