Setup
The Escape Rollator is designed for quick setup and adjustment. Follow these steps to prepare your rollator for use:
- Unfolding the Rollator: Gently pull the sides of the rollator apart until it fully extends and locks into the open position. Ensure the seat is flat and secure.
- Adjusting Handle Height: Locate the spring-loaded levers on the handle posts. Press the levers and slide the handles up or down to your desired height. Release the levers to lock the handles in place. The handles should be at wrist height when standing upright with arms relaxed.

Compact Folding for Storage and Transport: To fold the rollator, lift the seat handle. The rollator will collapse into a compact form, standing independently for easy storage or loading into a car trunk.
Operating
Proper operation ensures safety and maximizes the benefits of your Escape Rollator.
- Walking Technique: Position yourself correctly while gripping the ergonomic handles. Walk with the rollator slightly ahead of you, maintaining a comfortable and stable gait.
- Brake System: The 'Gentle Touch Brake System' allows for easy control. Squeeze the brake levers to slow down or stop. Push the levers down to engage the parking brake when sitting or when the rollator needs to remain stationary. Ensure no cable interference.
- Smooth Maneuvering: The large 8-inch wheels, combined with the built-in Curb Climber, facilitate smooth movement over various surfaces and small obstacles.
- Seating: When using the padded seat, ensure the parking brakes are engaged. Sit facing the front of the rollator, using the adjustable, cushioned backrest for support.
- Shopping Bag: Utilize the mesh shopping bag for carrying personal items. Do not overload the bag beyond its recommended capacity.

Maintenance
Regular maintenance ensures the longevity and safe operation of your rollator.
- Cleaning: Wipe down the frame with a damp cloth and mild detergent. Avoid abrasive cleaners. Clean the seat and backrest with appropriate fabric cleaner if necessary.
- Brake Check: Periodically check the brake system for proper function. Ensure the brakes engage smoothly and hold the wheels securely when the parking brake is set. Adjust if needed, or consult a qualified technician.
- Wheel Inspection: Inspect wheels for wear and tear. Ensure they rotate freely and are free of debris.
- Fasteners: Regularly check all screws, bolts, and other fasteners to ensure they are tight. Do not overtighten.
- Storage: Store the rollator in a dry, clean environment when not in use.
Troubleshooting
If you encounter issues with your rollator, refer to the following common solutions:
- Difficulty Folding/Unfolding: Ensure no items are obstructing the folding mechanism, especially the mesh shopping bag. Check that the seat handle is fully lifted when folding.
- Brakes Not Engaging Properly: Inspect brake cables for damage or looseness. The cables may need adjustment. If the issue persists, contact customer support.
- Rollator Feels Unstable: Verify that all handle height adjustment levers are securely locked. Ensure all wheels are properly attached and free of debris. Do not exceed the weight capacity.
- Squeaking Noises: Check wheels and moving parts for debris. A small amount of silicone lubricant can be applied to moving joints, avoiding brake surfaces.
