Setup and Assembly
Your Mobiclinic Augusto rollator comes partially assembled. Follow these steps to prepare it for use:
- Unfolding the Rollator:
Carefully remove the rollator from its packaging. Place it on a flat surface. Pull the side frames outwards until the rollator is fully open and the locking mechanism engages. Ensure the seat is flat and secure.
- Adjusting Handle Height:
Press the adjustment buttons on the side of the handle tubes. Raise or lower the handles to a comfortable height. The handles should be at wrist level when standing upright with arms relaxed. Release the buttons to lock the handles in place. Ensure both handles are at the same height.

The rollator includes a removable storage basket. Attach it securely under the seat using the provided hooks or clips. Ensure it is stable and does not interfere with the folding mechanism.

Operating Instructions
Walking with the Rollator
To walk with the rollator, stand behind it, grasp both handles firmly, and push it forward slightly. Maintain a comfortable distance from the rollator, ensuring your back is straight and you are not leaning too far forward. Walk at a steady pace, allowing the rollator to move with you.
Braking System
The Mobiclinic Augusto rollator is equipped with two braking systems for safety:
- Operating Brakes: To slow down or stop, gently squeeze the brake levers located on the handles upwards. Release the levers to disengage the brakes.
- Parking Brakes: To lock the wheels for sitting or when the rollator is stationary, push the brake levers downwards until they click into place. This engages the parking brake, preventing the rollator from moving. To release, pull the levers back up.

Using the Seat
When you need to rest, ensure the rollator is on a flat surface. Engage both parking brakes by pushing the levers downwards. Turn around and sit gently on the seat. Use the backrest for support. Always ensure the brakes are locked before sitting.
Folding for Storage and Transport
The rollator can be easily folded for compact storage or transport:
- Remove any items from the storage basket.
- Lift the seat upwards by pulling the strap or handle located in the center of the seat.
- Push the side frames inwards until the rollator is fully folded.
- Secure the folded rollator with any integrated locking mechanisms if available.

Maintenance and Care
- Cleaning: Wipe the frame with a damp cloth and mild detergent. Do not use abrasive cleaners. The seat and backrest can be cleaned with a suitable fabric cleaner.
- Wheels: Regularly check the wheels for debris and ensure they rotate freely. The solid PVC wheels are designed for durability.
- Brakes: Periodically test the brakes to ensure they are functioning correctly. If the brakes feel loose or ineffective, they may require adjustment by a qualified technician.
- Storage: Store the rollator in a dry place, away from direct sunlight and extreme temperatures.
Troubleshooting
| Problem | Possible Cause | Solution |
|---|---|---|
| Rollator does not fold easily. | Obstruction or seat not fully lifted. | Ensure the seat strap is fully pulled up and there are no items in the basket. Check for any debris obstructing the folding mechanism. |
| Brakes feel loose or ineffective. | Brake cable tension is too low. | Brakes may need adjustment. Consult a qualified technician or refer to specific brake adjustment instructions (if available, not detailed in current data). |
| Rollator is unstable during use. | Handles not adjusted to correct height; uneven surface; loose components. | Ensure handles are at the correct height and locked. Use on flat surfaces. Check all screws and fasteners for tightness. |
