Does the handle push the foot portion down or do you have to push down with your legs?

The handle DOES move the footrest back into the down position. It is a "strong" pull that takes a little strength to get back up, and if you only push the footrest back down with your legs it will not stay fully collapsed - you have to use the handle.

I use my legs. The hanlde does work, but I figure less wear and tear. Hope this helps.

I must push the extended leg position down with my feet and then use the handle to lock the chair in the upright position. For me, a 5 foot 3 inch woman, pulling the handle down to bring the foot rest down was impossible. Once I got the hang of simply pushing down with my legs, locking the chair upright was OK.

The handle works for me, the handle would be better if it were a little longer.

No this does not peddle they have to sit down on it hold on to the handles and push with their feet. Hope this helps answer your question.

To pump up push halfway down on lever, not all the way-all the way down will let chair down

It is welded low on the back legs. The handle height is adjustable. Like the legs on a walker.I weigh 200lbs. and I think this is very sturdy, and safe. I wouldn't be able to get in my tub with out it.

You hold the handle, anchor the middle leg against the ground, grab the bottom of the seat, and pull out. The other two legs pivot (so they have to be clear) as the seat slides down into position. It's easy once you get the hang of it; I absolutely depend on mine!!

i put one foot in a handle like a stirrup and do leg presses. With your foot still in the handle you can also lift leg up toward ceiling and lower it slowly. Works great just have to make sure your foot doesn't slide out of handle.

You have to push down. The machine automatically works when and while you're pushing your hand down. You don't have to exert a lot of pressure.

No. The bottom moves freely. The weight of your hand is supposed to be enough to keep it from slipping.

You turn the handles and use one leg/foot to propel yourself. Hope this helps, and sorry for the delay in replying.

In my experience I found I had to pull the seat portion up and use the other hand to push in legs. Process easy but I had to use two hands.

It requires 2 hands. Its lightweight so to have to put your foot on the bottom to prevent it from moving (on Hardwood floor). Pull with both hand on each corner.

I don't know, the smaller handles slide down but the larger handles stay put. I don't have any thing heavy on it.

No. You push it down with your feet and the foot rest is actually so tight that you have to use your hands to close it completely. I think it will loosen up over time.

Patricia, Top step on the left you will find a lever sticking out. Push it down while lifting up on the handle.

The handle is part of this sturdy step. It can be positioned so that the hand rail is either on the right or left side. We have it for our mother to use and it works great.

The bottom by the handle pulls down and releases the supports. It's a little different.

The handle moves from side to side but it is very sturdy and stable when you are using it. No problems with it!
