# Read This First, Dummy

If you found this manual, you’re either me (hi, me), or someone who got ahold of my walker and is trying not to die in it. Either way, read this first.

This walker wasn’t made to spec from a factory printout. I built it from scrap. Every bolt and servo, every wire twist and patched panel—scavenged, bartered, or wrestled out of a junk pile with my own two hands. (Well, one hand—but that's another story.) Anyway, the walker is not perfect. It creaks. It groans. It sometimes sulks. But it *works.* Mostly.

This manual is part operating guide, part repair log, and part diary (don’t judge me). It’s got everything I know about how to keep the walker moving, how not to burn yourself on the core capacitor, and how to kick the liquid waste reclaimer until it stops acting up.

If you’re smart, you’ll follow my notes. If you’re not, you’ll be walking home. Or limping.

Good luck. Try not to wreck it.
