Operating Instructions

A. Using as a Rollator Walker

1. Walking: Push the rollator forward a short distance, then step forward with one foot, followed by the other. Maintain a comfortable distance from the rollator.
2. Braking:
   • To Slow Down: Gently pull the hand brake levers upwards.
   • To Lock Wheels (Parking Brake): Push the hand brake levers downwards until they click into the locked position. Always engage parking brakes before sitting or when stationary.
3. Sitting: Engage both parking brakes. Turn around so your back is facing the seat. Slowly lower yourself onto the seat. Ensure the backrest is in the upright position for support.

B. Converting to a Wheelchair

1. Engage Brakes: Ensure the parking brakes are engaged.
2. Flip Backrest: Flip the reversible backrest over to face the front, converting the rollator into a wheelchair configuration.
3. Deploy Footrests: Unfold the footrests and ensure they are securely in place for the user's feet.
4. Seating: Assist the user to sit on the seat, ensuring their feet are placed on the footrests.
5. Attendant Operation: An attendant should push the wheelchair from behind using the handles.

C. Folding for Storage and Transport

To fold the rollator for compact storage or transport:

1. Ensure the storage bag is empty and removed if desired.
2. Pull the strap located in the middle of the seat upwards. The rollator frame will begin to collapse inwards.
3. Continue to fold until the unit is compact. You may need to fold the footrests first if they are deployed.

Maintenance

• Cleaning: Clean the frame with a damp cloth and mild soap. Do not use abrasive cleaners. The fabric seat and storage bag can be wiped clean.
• Inspection: Regularly check all bolts, screws, and fasteners to ensure they are tight. Inspect the wheels for wear and tear. Check brake cables for fraying and ensure brakes engage smoothly and effectively.
