This manual provides essential information for the safe and effective use of your rollator, including setup, operation, and maintenance instructions. The Zoom Rollator is available in various seat heights, with this specific model featuring a 22-inch seat height, suitable for users approximately 5'5" - 6'1" tall, and supports a weight capacity of 300 lbs.
Key features include 8-inch wheels for versatile terrain use, patented Feather Touch hand brakes for easy control, a padded seat, an under-seat storage pouch, and the Lock n' Load folding mechanism for convenient transport and storage.
Setup Instructions
Your NOVA Zoom Rollator Walker comes mostly pre-assembled. Follow these steps to complete the setup:
- Unpacking: Carefully remove the rollator from its packaging. It will be in a folded state.
- Unfolding the Rollator:
- Place the folded rollator on a flat surface.
- Gently push the sides of the frame outwards until the rollator is partially open.
- Push down on the middle bar (located under the seat) until the frame fully expands and locks into place.
- Installing Handles:
- Remove any rubber stoppers from the handle inserts on the frame.
- Insert the handgrips into the frame's designated holes.
- Adjust the handle height to your preference. A good starting point is when your wrist aligns with the handgrip, allowing for a slight 30-degree bend in your elbow when holding the grips.
- Secure the handles by inserting and tightening the height adjustment screws through the frame and handle tubes. Ensure they are tight and secure.
- Attaching Backrest:
- Locate the backrest.
- Align the push-buttons on the backrest with the corresponding holes on the rollator frame.
- Push the buttons and insert the backrest into the holders until it clicks securely into place. Pull on the backrest to confirm it is firmly attached.

Operating Instructions
Familiarize yourself with the operational aspects of your Zoom Rollator for safe and effective use.
- Using the Brakes:
- To control speed while walking, gently pull up on the Feather Touch hand brakes. Minimal effort is required.
- To engage the parking brake (lock the wheels), push the brake levers downwards until they click into the locked position. Always ensure brakes are locked before sitting.
- To release the parking brake, pull the levers upwards.
- Sitting on the Rollator:
- Ensure the rollator is on a flat, stable surface.
- Engage both parking brakes by pushing the levers down. Verify the wheels are locked.
- Carefully turn around and sit on the padded seat, using the backrest for support. Do not scoot or attempt to move the rollator while seated.
- To stand up, push off the handgrips and then release the parking brakes.
- Folding and Transporting (Lock n' Load):
- Lift the padded seat to access the folding mechanism.
- Pull up on the middle bar located under the seat. The rollator will begin to fold inwards.
- Locate the red Lock n' Load clip on the front bar. Insert this clip into the hinge to secure the rollator in its folded position.
- This locked folded position makes it easier to lift and load the rollator into a vehicle or for storage.
- To unfold, release the Lock n' Load clip, gently push the handgrips outwards, and then push down on the middle bar until the frame locks open.
- Storage Pouch: The under-seat pouch provides convenient storage for personal items. It includes a smaller internal pocket for keys or a phone.
