3. Setup

3.1 Unfolding the Walker

1. Carefully remove the walker from its packaging.
2. Place the walker on a flat, stable surface.
3. Grasp the handles and gently pull them apart until the walker fully extends and locks into place. Ensure all locking mechanisms are engaged.

3.2 Adjusting Handle Height

The handle height should be adjusted so that your arms are slightly bent at the elbow when standing upright with your hands on the grips. This ensures proper posture and comfort.

1. Locate the height adjustment knobs or levers on each handle support.
2. Loosen the knobs/levers and raise or lower the handles to your desired height.
3. Ensure both handles are set to the same height.
4. Tighten the knobs/levers securely to prevent slippage during use.

3.3 Attaching Back Support (Optional)

If desired, attach the removable back support to the designated slots on the walker frame behind the seat. Ensure it is securely fastened for stability when using the seat.

4. Operating Instructions

4.1 Walking with the Rollator

• Stand upright with your hands on the flexible grips, maintaining a slight bend in your elbows.
• Push the walker forward a comfortable distance, then step into it.
• Maintain an upright posture and avoid leaning too far forward or backward.
• Use the walker for support and balance, not to bear your full weight.

4.2 Using the Brakes

The walker features an internal braking system for both driving and parking.

• Driving Brakes: Squeeze the brake levers on the handles to slow down or stop.
• Parking Brakes: Push the brake levers down until they click into place to engage the parking brakes. Always engage the parking brakes when sitting on the seat or when the walker is stationary to prevent accidental movement.

4.3 Using the Seat

• Ensure the walker is on a flat, stable surface.
• Engage both parking brakes firmly.
• Turn around and slowly lower yourself onto the seat. Use the handles for support if needed.
• To stand up, push off the seat and use the handles for support. Disengage the parking brakes before moving.

4.4 Folding for Storage/Transport

The walker is designed for easy folding and storage.

• Ensure the shopping bag is empty and removed if necessary.
• Locate the folding mechanism (often a strap or lever on the seat).
• Pull the mechanism upwards to collapse the walker.
• Secure the walker in its folded position using any integrated clips or straps.

5. Maintenance

• Cleaning: Wipe down the frame and components regularly with a damp cloth and mild detergent. Avoid abrasive cleaners.
• Wheels: Check wheels periodically for wear and tear. Ensure they spin freely and are free of debris. The quick-release system allows for easy removal and cleaning.
• Brakes: Test the driving and parking brakes regularly to ensure they are functioning correctly. If brakes feel loose or ineffective, consult a qualified technician.
• Fasteners: Periodically check all screws, bolts, and fasteners to ensure they are tight. Do not overtighten.
• Storage: Store the walker in a dry, clean place away from extreme temperatures.
