Product Overview

Setup Instructions

1. Unfolding the Rollator: Carefully unfold the rollator walker until it locks into its fully open position. Ensure all locking mechanisms are engaged securely.

2. Adjusting Handle Height: The rollator features a 6-setting height adjustment system. Press the adjustment buttons on the side of the handles and slide the handles up or down to your desired height. Ensure both handles are set to the same height and are securely locked in place. The ideal height allows your elbows to be slightly bent when holding the handles.

3. Attaching the Storage Bag: The fabric storage bag attaches beneath the seat. Secure it using the provided fasteners or straps to the frame.

Operating Instructions

Using as a Walker

1. Brake Operation: To engage the brakes, squeeze the handbrakes on the handles. To lock the brakes for parking, push the brake levers down until they click into place. To release the parking brake, pull the levers up.

2. Walking: With the brakes unlocked, push the rollator forward and step with your body centered between the handles. Maintain a steady pace and use the rollator for balance and support.

3. Sitting: Before sitting, ensure the rollator is on a flat, stable surface. Engage the parking brakes by pushing the levers down. Turn around and slowly lower yourself onto the seat. Always ensure the brakes are locked before sitting to prevent accidental movement.

Converting to Transport Chair Mode

1. Deploying Footrests: While seated, or before seating a user, pull the footrests forward from their stored position until they are fully extended and locked into place.

2. Adjusting Backrest: The backrest can be adjusted or flipped to provide support for the user when being pushed as a transport chair.

3. Using as a Transport Chair: Once the user is seated and the footrests are deployed, release the parking brakes. The caregiver can then push the rollator from behind, similar to a traditional wheelchair. This mode is intended for occasional use on smooth terrain.

Folding for Storage and Transport

To fold the rollator, ensure the parking brakes are engaged. Lift the seat and pull the folding strap or mechanism, allowing the frame to collapse inward. Secure any latches to keep it in the folded position.

Maintenance

• Cleaning: Clean the frame and seat regularly with a damp cloth and mild soap. Avoid abrasive cleaners. The fabric storage bag can be wiped clean or removed for gentle hand washing if necessary.

• Wheel Inspection: Periodically check the wheels for wear and tear. Ensure they rotate freely and are free of debris. The large 7.9-inch wheels are designed for durability.

• Brake Adjustment: If the brakes feel loose or do not engage effectively, they may need adjustment. Consult a qualified technician or refer to online resources for instructions on tightening the brake cables. Always ensure brakes are functioning correctly before use.

• Fastener Check: Regularly check all screws, bolts, and fasteners to ensure they are tight. Loose components can affect the stability and safety of the device.

Troubleshooting

• Difficulty Folding/Unfolding: Ensure all locking mechanisms are disengaged before attempting to fold, and fully engaged when unfolding. Check for any obstructions or debris in the folding joints.

• Brakes Not Holding: Check if the brake levers are fully pushed down to engage the parking brake. If the issue persists, the brake cables may need adjustment or replacement. Refer to the Maintenance section or seek professional assistance.

• Unstable Movement: Verify that all wheels are securely attached and rotate freely. Ensure the handle height is adjusted evenly on both sides. Check for any loose fasteners on the frame.

• Footrests Not Deploying: Ensure the footrests are not obstructed and the release mechanism (if any) is fully engaged. Apply gentle force to extend them until they lock into position.
