• Do not place more than 10lb (4.5kg) of shopping or other items into the tote bag

  • it is not to be used as a transportation device

How to unfold your walker

The rollator comes fully assembled. Place the rollator on its wheels on a flat surface, and unfold by pressing down on the tubes at each side of the seat until they lock into place.

How to fold your walker

• Secure the rollator by pushing the two sides of the frame together until an audible click is heard

Using the brakes

• To slow or stop the rollator while walking, squeeze both brake levers upwards to apply the brakes. Always apply brake pressure evenly.
• To lock the brakes while the rollator is stopped, push down on each brake lever until they lock into place. Release the brakes by pulling up on the brake levers.

Adjusting/removing the tote bag

Attach the tote bag by sliding the plastic clip on the bag into the plastic connector on the frame.

The ideal height is set when the top of the handle aligns with your wrist when you are standing upright.

To adjust the handle height:

1. Press and hold the adjustment button
2. Simultaneously move the handgrip up and down to the desired height
3. Release the adjustment button
4. The handgrip will automatically lock to the next possible height position
