Setup and Assembly
The HOMCOM Rollator Walker requires minimal assembly. Follow these steps to prepare your walker for use:
- Unfold the Walker: Carefully remove the walker from its packaging. Unfold the frame until it locks securely into place.
- Attach Front Wheels: Insert the front wheels into their designated slots on the walker frame. Ensure they click into place or are secured with the provided fasteners.
- Attach Backrest and Seat: Position the backrest and seat according to the illustrations in the manual. Secure them firmly.
- Adjust Handle Height: Locate the height adjustment knobs on the handle posts. Press or loosen the knobs and slide the handles up or down to your desired height.

Maintenance
Regular maintenance ensures the longevity and safe operation of your HOMCOM Rollator Walker.
- Cleaning: Wipe down the frame, seat, and backrest with a damp cloth and mild soap as needed. Avoid abrasive cleaners.

- Fastener Check: Ensure all screws, bolts, and fasteners are tight. Do not overtighten.
- Storage: Store the walker in a dry place, away from extreme temperatures and direct sunlight, when not in use.
