The Drive Medical Bariatric Rollator is a walking aid designed for individuals who require assistance with mobility. It is not intended to be used as a transportation device. This rollator is built to exacting standards and carefully inspected to ensure reliability and safety for the user.
Function Description:
The bariatric rollator provides support and stability for users while walking. It features a sturdy frame, a comfortable seat, and orthodic hand grips for enhanced comfort and control. The rollator is equipped with loop locks, which are a safety system designed to slow down, temporarily stop, or lock the wheels in position. This allows the user to maintain control and stability, especially when sitting or navigating uneven terrain.

Safety Precautions:
- Do not attempt to adjust or operate the rollator without carefully reading all instructions in the manual.
- Ensure the rollator is fully opened, the seat is down, and the folding bar under the seat is locked in the down position before use.
- Test the rollator for stability before applying full weight to the hand grips.
- Test the loop locks before operating the rollator. When wheels are locked, the lock bar on the rear wheels should prevent them from turning. If they turn while locked, seek adjustment from a dealer. When locks are released, the wheels should turn freely.
- Always lock the loop locks before sitting.
- Do not use the seat when the unit is on an incline or uneven ground.
- Do not have anyone push you while you are seated on the rollator. It is a walking aid only and not a transportation device.
