[. . . ] The adjustment levers can be ratcheted so the handle can rotate without affecting the tightness of the screw. Release the black knob, and let Figure 2 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 6 1 Assembly Instructions: Column Adjustment Tube: Refer to figure 4 1. [. . . ] Pelvic support height: Loosen the two allen screws (6) on the top and bottom of the pelvic pad. Place the pelvic support assembly as close to the sit bar as possible without preventing hip flexion. If this support is too high or too low, it will not provide the stability required for the child to step forward. Trunk pad height: Repeat step #4, but with the allen screws above and below the trunk pad (7). The child s shoulders should be positioned slightly in front of his/her 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, 1 to improve the child s gait pattern or to diminish primitive reflex patterning. Loosen the two allen screws on the upper Figure 9 tube clamp assembly (fig. 9. 1). Raise the upper clamp assembly and frame brace while tilting the column forward (fig 10). When the desired angle is achieved tighten the allen screws to secure the column. Note: lowering the upper tube clamp Figure 10 assembly will tilt the column back upright. 11 Column Height: Refer to figure 11. After setting the pitch and the sit bar-to-trunk support distance, set the column height. 3 2 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 Figure 11 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 T-nut (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 sit bar height is the same as the inseam height determined above. c) Replace the ball lock pin and tighten the T-nut 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. 12 Spring Tension: Refer to figures 12. The sit bar, pelvic support, and trunk support assist in lifting the child into standing. Spring rate adjustment: The spring rate is the amount of force required to compress the spring a given amount. By sliding the black tubular spring stop (1) down, the spring becomes stiffer. To adjust, depress the silver slide lock button (2) and hold it in to release the spring stop. Release the slide lock button to lock the spring stop in the desired position. For additional spring adjustment, rotate the crank (3) clockwise (CW) to increase the spring tension or counterclockwise (CCW) to decrease the spring tension. [. . . ] Removing the tray: The tray must be removed to place the child in or take the child from the Walkabout. This is done by pulling the rings on the spring clamps (1) and lifting the tray off the support bars. 16 Double Sit Bar: Refer to figure 20 1. Secure at the desired height with the adjustment lever.
