To sit down: 1. Lock the brakes. 2. Hold onto both handgrips, not the brake handles. 3. Turn around and touch the back of your legs against the seat. 4. Slowly lower yourself onto the seat.

How to adjust the brakes: The following information is designed to assist you with the adjustment of your Nova Feather Touch Hand Brake System. Note: The braking system on your new Nova walker has been preset from the factory. To maintain this preset position, be sure that the tension adjustment screw locking nuts are tight against the housing and the rear wheels. If you are still having difficulty with your brakes, you can adjust them by the following: 1. Hand brake is too loose. Loosen the tension adjustment screw locking nut and turn the screw one full turn clockwise (as viewed from standing at the back of the walker). If this does not correct the adjustment, repeat one full turn at a time until you have adjusted your brakes. Then make sure the locking nut is spun tight against the housing to prevent the screw from loosening. 2. Hand brake is too tight. Loosen the adjustment screw locking nut and turn the screw one full turn counter clockwise (as viewed from standing at the back of the walker. ). If this does not correct the adjustment, repeat one full turn at a time until you have adjusted your brakes. Then make sure the locking nut is spun tight against the housing to prevent the screw from loosening.
