STEP ONE >> Putting your walker together

Upon receiving your walker, please check the contents carefully. Report any missing items to your dealer or Evolution immediately:
Contents of all Evolution Trillium walkers are as follows:
1. Folded walker complete with main frame, seat, handles, and wheels already installed.
2. A soft folding basket
3. Back support
4. Warranty Registration Card
5. Owner's Manual
6. Soft seat cushion
Backrest Assembly
1. Using a Phillips screwdriver, remove screws, washers and nylock nut from back support anchor points.
2. Insert back support on one side and align holes of back support and anchor point (figure 1).
3. Insert screw, washer and nut and tighten securely (figure 2).
4. Repeat for second side.
Adjust handle height. Put Knob Bolts through from inside. Tighten until it is snug.

Do Not Overtighten.

STEP TWO >> Checking the brakes and wheels

The Evolution braking system provides safety and ease of operation. Hold (squeeze) to brake and press down on the brake handle for parking.
Check braking system. The wheels should stay locked while parking brake is activated.
Do not activate parking brake while walker is moving. This may cause permanent damage to the wheels.
Always activate parking brake before using the seat.

STEP THREE >> Maintenance and care of your Trillium Walker

Check tightness of nut and bolts regularly.
Check frame and tire integrity at least once a month.

Folding, Unfolding, and Carrying your walker

To FOLD your Trillium walker, pull on the seat center handle and the walker will remain standing up. To UNFOLD the Trillium, simply push down on the handle in the middle of the seat making sure the walker locks in the fully open position.

Ensure the center seat handle is level with the seat before sitting.

To carry the walker while folded, simply pick it up by the center handle and lift the walker carrying it at your side like a suitcase.

Brakes

Apply the brakes by pulling both brake handles upwards. Do not walk with brakes on.

Parking Brakes

Press down on both brake handles until you hear a distinct click sound. Always make sure that both brakes are engaged. Pull upwards to release the parking brakes. When using the seat, both brakes MUST be in the locked position for your safety.

Brake Adjusting

To ensure proper braking, from time to time adjust the brake pads located on the top of the rear wheels. To adjust the brake, remove the Slow Down Brake if installed, by removing the two Phillips screws on the front of the rear fork.
Using a Philips screwdriver, rotate the adjustment screw clockwise (A) to lower the brake pad (B) for tighter braking. Test the brakes, making sure that when applying the parking brake, the rear wheels stay in the locked position.
Reinstall the Slow Down Brake if installed.

Handle Height Adjustment

To adjust the handles to a suitable height, stand behind the walker with your shoulders level. The handles should be at the same height or slightly higher than the user's wrist. A therapist might suggest a different handle height to accommodate a specific need for the user.
To adjust the handles, remove the knob and pull the hex bolt out, adjust the handle to the prescribed or desired handle height and insert the hex bolt ensuring that the hexagonal part of the bolt fits properly on the hexagonal cut out on the frame of the Trillium and tighten the knob snugly.
Handle Height Adjustment

Do Not Over Tighten.

Installing Basket

To install the soft folding basket, fold the Trillium, loosen the two basket clamp knobs. Clamp the bracket on the frame and tighten the knob.
