Indication

INDICATION:
Walking aid for outdoor and indoor use to compensate for or improve limited walking ability. Insured parties are to be provided with walking aids with the intention of compensating for or at least improving the user’s limited walking ability (expansion of radius of activity or mobility). Persons with limitations of hand/arm functions require particular adjustments/designs of handles or hand rests/armrests. Movable walking aids may not be suitable for persons with balance disorders; in individual cases, this should be tested out. Where appropriate, an attendant must be present. The rollator is to be used only for normal, everyday activities.

CONTRAINDICATION:
The rollator is not suitable for use in the case of: perception disorders, severe loss of balance, and inability to sit down.

Safety instructions

• Use the rollator only as a walking aid!
• Use the rollator only on an even and solid surface.
•  Rollator may not be used as a seat in vehicles, such as a bus or train!
•  It is prohibited to stand on the rollator or to transport a person or animal on the rollator.
• take note of the permitted maximum weight of the user. This information can be found in the technical data in these instructions for use as well as on the a-tin plate.
• Use the tray only for small, lightweight objects which are not sharp or hot. Max. load: 5.0 kg
• Use the basket only to transport objects and do not overload it! Max. load: 5.0 kg
• Use on escalators and the like is expressly prohibited!
• The push handles must always be adjusted parallel to the direction of movement – risk of tipping!
•  Do not hang any bags on the handle risk of tipping!
•  On steep surfaces, use the service brake (pull the brake lever upwards).
•  Leaning excessively on the handles can cause the rollator to tip backward.
•  When folding/unfolding the rollator, clothing and body parts can be pinched.
•  Protect the rollator from direct sunlight. Product parts can become hot and cause skin injuries if touched.
•  Prior to each use, ensure that your rollator is intact and all adjustable parts are properly secured. Check that the brakes are working properly!
•  Before using the rollator, ensure that the folding guard is properly locked.
•  Check the screws on the rollator regularly and tighten them, if necessary.
•  The braking effect can be impaired by wear and tear on the tires. For this reason, check the braking effect and tires regularly.
•  The rollator should NOT be carried by the seat, removable parts or the brake cables.

Unfolding

Place the rollator on its wheels. Push the front frame forwards by pulling the handle diagonally downwards and backward until the rollator is standing on four wheels. Then push the seat down until the locking mechanism clicks into place (pic. 1).

/drive-DeVilbiss-Gigo-Mobility-Rollator-fig-5.png)

Hang the basket on the small hooks in the front underneath the seat and place the tray down on the seat section, with the small feet in the small holes (pic. 2). Insert the backrest down into the mounting tube and secure with the fastening clips as shown (pic. 3).

Height adjustment of push handles

Insert push handles at least to the first cross hole into the frame tubing. Insert the fixing screw from the inside and tighten using the washer and star screw (pic. 4).
To change the height adjustment of the push handles, loosen the fixing screw by turning the star screw counter-clockwise. Then lock the handle at the desired height, as described above (pic. 5).

Adjusting the brakes
If braking is poor or too hard, the brake can be adjusted either at the brake housing above (pic. 6) or using the adjusting screw on the Bowden cable below (pic. 7) to achieve the desired braking effect.

The brake is correctly adjusted when the brake lever as well as the brake wires are free of play and the wheels can be rotated without grinding noises when the brake is released.

Braking | Parking
To brake when walking with the rollator, pull both brakes handles upwards with your hands (pic. 8). Always brake slowly while applying equal pressure with both hands. To apply the brakes/park the rollator, press both brake handles downwards until they audibly click into place (pic. 9)! To release the brake, pull both brakes handles up-wards once again until they are released (brake handles are in the middle position).

The braking effect can be impaired by wear and tear on the tires. For this reason, regularly check the braking effect.

Place the rollator on an even and solid surface. Then ap-ply the brakes. The rollator must be stable and may not slip. Only sit upright; do not lean backward (pic. 10)! Seated position permitted only as shown and against the direction of movement (pic. 11)!

Folding | Transporting | Stowing

To fold up the rollator, pull the locking lever towards you and use the handle to pull the seat section upwards (pic. 12-13).
Remove accessories, if necessary!

Cleaning | Maintenance

•  Clean regularly with a moist cloth!
• Do not use any aggressive cleaning agents!
•  Do not use abrasive cleaners!
•  Do not use any high-dose chlorine and vinegar-based cleaners!
•  To disinfect, a spray disinfectant can be used such as Descosept AF or Bacillol AF.
•  Check the screws regularly and tighten them, if necessary.
•  The product should not be exposed to temperatures above 60° C for long periods of time (for example, use in a sauna, etc.)!
•  In the event of defects, contact your specialist dealer from whom you purchased this product!
•  Check the condition of the tires regularly. They are “fail-safe”, meaning that you do not have to check air pressure or fill them with air. Always check the tires for tears or other damage, however.
