3.- Product use
Forta swiveling wheels kit is a set of parts that can be attached to a walker to provide it with rear wheels and pressure brakes. This wheel kit can be installed on any Forta walker with front wheels and rear tips. If you attempt to install this kit on walkers from other brands, Forta is not responsible for its compatibility with those walkers, nor for its performance or durability, as well as any issues that may arise during installation or use.
This wheel kit should be installed on walkers with front wheels and rear tips; it should not be installed on four-legged walkers without front wheels.

5.- Assembly and use
To assemble the wheel kit, the walker must have a hole (drill hole) in each of the rear legs. In the case of Forta walkers, all of them come with this hole from the factory, but if your walker does not have this hole, you will need to drill the aluminum tube to create it. This operation must be carried out by a professional. The following steps describe how to install the wheel kit assuming the drilling is already done:
- Remove the tip from the leg of the walker by pulling it outward.
- Take the two types of gray bushings and check which one your walker needs. To do this, pass the bushing over the leg of the walker and see if it fits correctly.
- Place the appropriate bushing inside the swiveling group. To insert it more easily, you can compress the spring of the kit, opening the space for the bushing.
- Only if your walker is an AIR model: Place the black AIR adapter inside the leg of the walker, aligning the holes in the leg and the adapter.
- Place the swiveling group on the leg of the walker, inserting it until its holes align with those of the tube. The wheel should be positioned downward and inward on the walker.
- Pass the screw through the hole in the swiveling group until it protrudes on the opposite side, then put the nut on. Use the included Allen key to tighten the screw.
- Reinsert the tip under the swiveling group, at the end of the tube. This tip will rest on the ground when the user leans on the walker, braking it.
- Repeat all these steps on the other leg of the walker to complete the installation.
Once the wheel kit is assembled, the user will be able to use the walker normally. While the user is walking, the walker will roll easily. When pressure is applied to the handles, the spring of the wheel kit will activate, and the tips will touch the ground, braking the walker.
