E. Walking Over Obstacles
The U-Step II has a patented
spring-loaded front caster that
enables it to roll over obsta-
cles, such as door molding
strips and cracks in the side-
walk. It will help you ride over
obstacles as high as one half-
inch.
By removing the safety pins
that stop the rear wheels from
springing up, you can navigate
up larger obstacles such as
curbs without lifting the walker.
You can go up a curb or small
step by either stepping down
on the back of the base, or just
by pulling back on the handle-
bars, you can raise the front of
the walker to go up a curb or
small step.
After raising the front
end, release the
brake and roll up the
obstacle. This feature
requires reasonable
balance and is not
appropriate for every
one. If you feel
unsafe using this fea-
ture, keep the lock-
ing pins in place.
