5. Operating Instructions
5.1. Walking and Maneuvering
- Always walk behind the rollator, keeping it close to your body for optimal balance.
- The 10-inch front wheels and 8-inch rear wheels provide smooth movement and 360-degree rotation for easy steering.
5.2. Braking System
Your rollator is equipped with a dual braking system:
- Hand Brakes: Pull the brake handles upwards to slow down or stop the rollator.
- Parking Brakes: Push the brake handles downwards until they lock into place to engage the parking brake. This prevents the rollator from moving when stationary or when you are sitting.

5.3. Navigating Obstacles
For small obstacles like door thresholds or curbs, use the foot pedal located near the rear wheels. Step on the pedal to slightly lift the front wheels, allowing you to roll over the obstacle more easily.

5.4. Using the Seat
The rollator features a comfortable seat and backrest for resting. Before sitting, always ensure the parking brakes are fully engaged to prevent the rollator from rolling away.

5.5. Folding and Storage
To fold the rollator for transport or storage:
- Ensure the storage bag is empty.
- Press the release mechanism located on the frame (often under the seat).
- Pull the seat upwards and towards you while simultaneously pushing the handles together.
- The rollator will fold compactly. For unfolding, simply pull the handles apart until the frame is fully extended and locked into place.

6. Maintenance
- Cleaning: Clean the frame with a damp cloth and mild soap. Avoid abrasive cleaners. The fabric seat and bag can be spot cleaned or removed for gentle washing if necessary.
- Brakes: Periodically check the brake cables and levers for proper function. Ensure the brakes engage smoothly and hold the wheels firmly when locked. If adjustment is needed, consult a qualified technician or refer to the assembly video for basic adjustments.
- Wheels: Inspect the wheels for wear and tear. Ensure they rotate freely and are securely attached. Remove any debris that may accumulate around the axles.
- Fasteners: Check all screws, bolts, and other fasteners regularly to ensure they are tight. Do not overtighten.
7. Troubleshooting
- Rollator is difficult to steer: Check if the front wheels are rotating freely. Ensure no debris is obstructing their movement. Verify that the wheels are securely locked into place.
- Brakes are not engaging properly: Inspect the brake cables for kinks or damage. Ensure the brake levers are not stuck. Adjust the brake tension if necessary (refer to assembly video or consult a technician).
- Rollator feels unstable or wobbly: Confirm that the frame is fully unfolded and all locking mechanisms are engaged. Check that all wheels are securely attached and not loose.
- Difficulty folding/unfolding: Ensure the release mechanism is fully activated. Check for any obstructions preventing the frame from collapsing or expanding smoothly.
