Read Before Use
Ensure rollator is level to the ground before using. All screws must be
tightened, ensuring there is no movement.
DO NOT hang anything on either side frame. This will (A) cause side tube to
bend, and make the rollator unstable, and/or (B) cause rollator to tip,
resulting in injury or damage.
Opening
Remove the rollator from the box. Lay the rollator down on the floor with the handle tubes on top. Unhook the red levers from the inside of the leg tubes. Push the handle tubes forward so that they are standing upright at aright angle to the leg tubes, as shown in figure 1:
Pull the black metal levers on each side backwards to push the washer inwards. Clasp into the plastic slot on the leg tubes – this will “snap” into position as in figure 2:
To open the rollator, open the handles away from each other as shown in figure 3. Press the seat downwards. Continue pushing the seat downwards until it clicks into the plastic slots on each side. The rollator will remain open as shown in figure 4:
Folding
To fold the rollator pull the handle in the centre of the seat upwards to unclip the seat. Continue pulling the seat upwards. Push the handles to- wards each other to close the rollator as shown in figure 5:
To completely fold the rollator, unlock the left and right black metal levers
from the slots on the leg tubes. Rotate by 90 degrees and place towards the
front wheel. Pull the handle tubes carefully down towards the back wheels. The
red levers will engage and click into place when this is fully folded. The
rollator can now be stored or transported as necessary.
Assembling and Disassembling the Quick Release Kit Assembly: Insert the wheel
axle into the hole inside the wheel support. When a “click” is heard, the
wheel is fixed into the correct position – see figure 6. Disassembly: Press
the red button with one hand. Take the wheel kit out of the wheel support with
the other hand as per figure 7:
Adjusting the Handle Tube
The rollator height should be adjusted so that when the user’s arm is down by their side, the handgrip is at wrist height. This will ensure the arms are at an approximate 20°-30° bend when using the rollator. Push the metal button on the handle tube in. Slide the handle tube up or down to the desired height. Ensure the metal button protrudes through the appropriate adjustment hole on the handle tube as in figure 8:
Adjusting the Handle Tube
Note: DO NOT remove the brake cable from the handle tube or the brakes
will not work. For the brakes to function properly, the brake cable should be
flush alongside the frame and correctly hidden inside the tube.
To release the brake system, loosen the brake nut on the inside of the leg
tube in a clockwise direction as shown in figure 9:
Note: To loosen the brake, rotate the nut anti-clockwise.
Using the Hand Brake
Pull the top of the brake handles up towards the hand grips to activate the
hand brake. To remain stationary, continue to hold the brake handles up.
To continue mobility, release the brake handles.
To lock the hand brake, push down on the bottom portion of the brake handle as
shown in figure 10 until an audible “click” is heard: To release, pull up on
the top part of the brake handle as in figure 11:
Safety Summary
To ensure the safe operation of the rollator, these instructions MUST be
followed: DO NOT install or use this equipment before reading and
understanding this instruction sheet. Please keep this manual properly for
future reference. If you are unable to understand the warnings, cautions or
instructions, contact a healthcare professional, dealer or technical personnel
before attempting to install this equipment – otherwise, injury or damage may
occur.
Each individual should consult with their physician or therapist to determine
proper adjustment and usage.
Rollators are NOT intended to be self-propelled while seated. DO NOT use the
rollator on the stairs or on elevators/escalators, please be careful when
using on slope.
It is recommended that a physical/occupational therapist should assist in the
height adjustment of the rollator for maximum support and correct brake
activation, the fixture of the screw, the position of the quick
release/assembly kits. Always ensure screws are fastened to the connector, so
that the connector cannot move when forced. Ensure all copper balls fully
protrude through adjustment holes.
Failure to follow these warnings can result in personal injury. Care should be
taken to ensure that ALL hand and height adjustment are secure and that moving
parts are in good working order before using this or any mobility aid. In the
process of using, all wheels must always be in contact with the ground. This
will ensure the rollator is properly balanced. Before using the seat, the
brake must be in the locking position.
When using a rollator in the stationary state, the hand brake must be locked.
After unfolding or assembling the rollator, ensure that the seat support tube
is securely locked in the side slot and the quick release/ assembly kits are
in their correct position and locked. Ensure the rollator is level to the
ground before using. All screws must be tightened, ensuring there is no
movement.
DO NOT: hang anything on either side frame. This will: (A) cause the side tube
to bend, and make the rollator unstable, and/or (B) cause the rollator to tip,
resulting in injury or damage.
Care and Maintenance
- Ensure that every part of the rollator is secure at ALL times.
- Check all screws regularly and make sure the seat tubes are fixed into the side slot properly – if not, press it again to secure.
