General
MANDATORY! Do not operate your new rollator walker for the first time
without completely reading and understanding this owner’s manual.
Your rollator walker is designed for use as a walking aid meant to assist
users while walking. If a large amount of force is placed on the rollator
walker even when the brakes are locked in position, the rollator may move.
Always exercise caution when using. Zip’r Mobility provides an extensive array
of products to best fit the individual needs of users. Please be aware that
the final selection and purchasing decision regarding the type of rollator
walker to be used is the responsibility of the rollator walker user who is
capable of making such a decision and his/her healthcare professional (i.e.,
medical doctor, physical therapist, etc.)
The contents of this manual are based on the expectation that a mobility
device expert has properly fitted the rollator walker to the user and has
assisted the prescribing healthcare professional and/or the authorized
provider in the instruction process for the use of the product. There may be
certain situations, including some medical conditions, where the rollator
walker user will need to practice operating the rollator walker in the
presence of a trained attendant. A trained attendant can be defined as a
family member or care professional specially trained in assisting a rollator
walker user in various daily living activities.
As you begin using your rollator walker during daily activities, you will
probably encounter situations which you will need some practice. Simply take
your time and you will soon be in confident control as you maneuver through
doorways, on and off elevators, up and down ramps. Operating techniques used
in this manual should only be used as a “basic” guide, as each Rambler user is
solely responsible for individual safety and the safety of others when using a
Zip’r Rambler Walker.
Provided below are some precautions, tips, and other safety considerations
that will help you become accustomed to operating the rollator walker safely.
WARNING! Do not use a strong corrosive cleaner on the products surface!
WARNING! Do not leave your rollator walker outside in rainy conditions!
MANDATORY! Prior to sitting down on the seat, lock both brakes to prevent
the rollator from sliding!
MANDATORY! Do not hang any weighted items on any part of the frame as it
may cause the rollator to become unstable!
