Operating Instructions

1. Walking with the Rollator:

   Stand behind the rollator, grasping both handles firmly. Push the walker forward a short distance, then step forward with one foot, followed by the other. Maintain an upright posture and keep your weight centered over the walker for stability. The large 10-inch wheels are designed for smooth movement.

2. Using the Hand Brakes:

   To slow down or stop, gently squeeze the hand brake levers located on the handles. To engage the parking brake (to lock the wheels), push the brake levers down until they click into place. Ensure the parking brakes are engaged before sitting on the seat or when the walker is stationary.

3. Sitting on the Seat:

   Before sitting, ensure the parking brakes are fully engaged on both sides. Turn around so your back is facing the seat. Slowly lower yourself onto the seat, using the handles for support if needed. The backrest provides additional comfort.

4. Folding for Storage and Transport:

   To fold the walker, first remove any items from the storage bag. Lift the folding mechanism (usually a strap or handle on the seat) upwards. The walker will collapse inward. Secure the folded walker with any provided clips or straps to prevent it from unfolding during transport.

Maintenance

• Cleaning:

  Wipe down the frame and seat with a damp cloth and mild detergent. Do not use abrasive cleaners or solvents. Ensure all parts are dry before storage or next use.

• Inspection:

  Regularly check all screws, bolts, and fasteners to ensure they are tight. Inspect the wheels for wear and tear, and ensure they rotate freely. Check brake cables for fraying or damage and ensure brakes engage properly.

• Storage:

  Store the walker in a dry, clean place away from direct sunlight and extreme temperatures.
