Safety Information

• WARNING: Always ensure the rollator is fully unfolded and locked into position before operation.
• Regularly check all screws, bolts, and moving parts to ensure they are secure and functioning correctly.
• Do not exceed the maximum weight capacity of 330 lbs (150 kg).
• Ensure the brakes are engaged when sitting on the seat or when the rollator is stationary.
• Use caution when navigating uneven surfaces, inclines, or obstacles. Utilize the obstacle assist pedal as needed.
• Consult a healthcare professional for guidance on proper use, especially if you have specific mobility needs.

Setup and Assembly

1. Unfolding the Rollator: Carefully remove the rollator from its packaging. Place it on a flat, stable surface. Pull the sides of the frame apart until the rollator is fully extended and the locking mechanism engages. Ensure the X-shaped structure is fully open and stable.
2. Attaching the Storage Bag: Secure the large storage bag to the designated hooks or straps beneath the seat.
3. Adjusting Handle Height: Press the adjustment buttons located on the side of the handle tubes. While holding the button, slide the handles up or down to your desired height. Release the button to lock the handles in place. Ensure both handles are at the same height and securely locked before use. The handles are adjustable from 33 inches to 38 inches.
4. Checking Brakes: Before first use, test the dual braking system to ensure proper function.

Operating Instructions

Using as a Walking Aid:

• Stand behind the rollator with your hands on the anti-slip handgrips.
• Push the rollator forward slightly, then step forward. Maintain a comfortable distance from the rollator.
• Dual Braking System:
  • To control speed, gently pull the brake levers upwards (position 1).
  • To engage the parking brake, push the brake levers downwards until they lock into place (position 2). This will prevent the rollator from moving.
• Obstacle Assist Pedal: Use the small pedal near the rear wheels to slightly lift the front wheels, making it easier to navigate over small obstacles or thresholds.

Using as a Seat:

• Ensure the rollator is on a flat, stable surface.
• Engage both parking brakes by pushing the levers down.
• Carefully turn around and sit on the mesh seat. The reversible backrest provides support.
• Do not attempt to move the rollator while seated.

Folding for Storage/Transport:

• Ensure the storage bag is empty.
• Pull the rope located on the seat upwards. The rollator will fold inward.
• Once folded, it can be easily stored or placed in a car trunk.

Maintenance

• Cleaning: Wipe down the frame and seat with a damp cloth and mild soap. Avoid abrasive cleaners.
• Wheel Care: Keep the 8-inch PVC wheels free of debris. Periodically check for wear and tear.
• Brake Inspection: Regularly inspect the brake cables and levers for proper function and adjustment. If brakes feel loose or ineffective, have them serviced.
• Storage: Store the rollator in a dry place, away from extreme temperatures. The foldable design allows for compact storage.

Troubleshooting

Problem: Rollator does not feel stable or wobbles.

Solution: Ensure the rollator is fully unfolded and the frame is locked into its open position. Check all bolts and screws for tightness. Verify that the handle height adjustment pins are fully engaged.

Problem: Brakes are not engaging properly or feel loose.

Solution: Inspect the brake cables for any damage or kinks. The brake tension may need adjustment. If you are unsure how to adjust them, consult a qualified technician or the manufacturer's support.

Problem: Difficulty folding the rollator.

Solution: Ensure the storage bag is empty and nothing is obstructing the folding mechanism. Pull the seat rope firmly upwards. If resistance persists, check for any trapped items or debris.
