Tighten from duel brake screws on back rear. Loosen top screw than tighten bottom.

If the walker is brand new (out of the box), it may take more effort to push DOWN on the brake handles. They should not need any adjusting at this point (I would not attempt to adjust them if you don't have experience doing this sort of thing).

Too much tension in brake cable can cause this. Need to loosen brake cable tension.

You have to hold the handle then press the button to lock the brakes. Then, when you want to release them, just squeeze the hand brake and the lock will pop up

My brakes DO NOT hold when the button is pressed to hold. What can I do ot make the brakes hold?

All I can suggest is to keep trying it both clockwise and counter-clockwise. I think that happened to mine once and I kept fiddling with it and it finally unlocked.

The brake lock should be on the inside of the wheel facing the frame tube where the axel goes thru. I'm trying to picture this from memory. . .When you press down on the lock, it should line up? Let me know what you find out. . .Phil

Mine works great. Make sure the flip stop is in place so that you are grinding at the correct angle. Make sure you are squeezing the brake handle if you have that model. I had another model that was of lesser quality and the locking device squeezes the chain right at the chain side plates. If it's the one that you have, it has a black lever about 2-3" long. If you pinch the black lever at its base where it touches the plate and pull it towards you, it should move about a 1/4" or so towards you because it is spring loaded. The black handle has a ratchet built within it. If you pull the handle towards you and rotate it counter clockwise (to your left) about a 1/2 turn the ratchet will reset the tension so that when you go to tighten it against the chain it should be tighter. Once you have made the rotation make sure you allow the black lever to slide back over the screw that's in the center of the handle. If that doesn't work, you may have to go farther than a 1/2 turn and or do it several times. Just take note that when you rotate it to the left the center screw in that locking arm stays "still" and the black handle rotates around the screw. By doing that, the black handle grabs that center screw at a different location hence making it able to squeeze the chain plates sooner and tighter. Hope this works. Good luck.

You may have to replace the skewer, I bought one for $10 at local bike shop as the one that came on the bike was too large to fit into quick release. When replacing lock the rear brakes on the bike and remove/insert the skewer, then the chain will not move.

sounds like the push pull thingy on the bottom needs to be reset. the part im talking about is the thing that contacts the stop ramp and stops the wheels from turning.

Hi Carmen, thank you for your interest in Drive Medical! To lock the brake, pull the brake lever towards the handlebar and push down the spring loaded push button (located on top of brake). When done correctly, push button with remain down and brake lever will be locked in place.

Make sure the steel cable between the two is on the "track" and adjust the knob under the foot rests - it may need to be tighter, if too tight, you can hardly make it work. Took me a couple of tries to get it right - go to the "+" side first. Hope this helps.

Only problem I had was solved when I realized if I had my weight on the down pedal I wouldn't be able to push down the upper pedal-too much weight to overcome. Had to shift my weight to the up-pedal side before I could successfully pedal it. If it's really, physically stuck, check for what parts are blocking movement and review your assembly, in case something didn't get installed in the correct place.

I had the same problem. What I did is take one of the longer bolts to tighten down. That allowed me to get just enough thread for the short ones to reach then remove the longer bolt and repeat the steps.

Yes, I had the same problem with the safety lock. The simple fix is to take a hand drill with bit and expandthe opening slightly. It still locks but opens with a mild tug. Good Luck.

You have it locked in the jogging mode. Above the wheel is a latch that you will meed to pull out and move it into the groved latch. Hope you can figure that out ok.

There are two glides, both have black knobs to tighten down to lock into place. Make sure both knobs are loose.

I would try loosening the mounting screws, and ensure that it is seated level in the lock hole. Are both handles not level?

Had that same problem in the beginning. Just make sure the cable underneath is attached and you can adjusts the tension, just use your hands to make sure the cable is on wheel
