Usage

Looking at the picture above the device should be prepared for use in an instinctive way. However we recommend you follow the steps below:

Initial Check

  • In the first instance take the device out of the box and check (using the picture above) that nothing is missing. If you discover at this stage that some part is missing or damaged do not continue to assemble the product. Contact your supplier of the product right away.

Opening of the rollator

  • Push the red button which is locking the seating tubes
  • Hold both seat tubes and simultaneously push them down until you hear a “click” sound of the locking mechanism of the frame. Try to pull the seat tubes back up to fold the frame. If this is impossible to do the frame is opened and secured correctly. See the OPEN position in the picture above.
  • After unfolding or assembling the rollator always ensure that the seat support is securely locked by the pulling strip mechanism for securing the lock and that the frame does not move anymore.
  • Always ensure that both push handle tubes are securely locked in the main support tube with the two wing knobs to prevent the accidental sliding in of the push handle tubes when forced.
  • Always test to see that accessories are properly and safely locked in place BEFORE using.
  • Failure to follow these warnings can result in personal injury.
