Operating Instructions
OPENING / FOLDING THE ROLLATOR
Opening
Hold one handlebar and push down on the seat (F) until all four wheels are extended
out and the seat is fully flat. Before using the rollator make sure that all four wheels
make contact with the floor and the rollator is stable in the open position.
Folding
• For more compact storage, remove the backrest.
• Pull up on the strap under the seat until the rollator closes.
ADJUSTING THE POSITION OF THE HANDLEBARS
• To determine proper height, stand upright behind the rollator with shoulders
relaxed, arms hanging at your side and eyes looking straight ahead. Standing in
this position, the handgrips (A) of the rollator should be adjusted to a height,
which is even with the wrists. This will position the arms at an approximate 20º
to 30º bend when using the rollator.
• To adjust the handlebar height, remove the height adjustment hand nut and
screw from the frame (C).
• Slide the handlebars in the rollator frame until they are at the proper height and
the holes in the handlebars and frame are aligned. Place the screw through the
aligned holes in the handlebars and frame. The holes in the frame are hexagonal
in shape to accommodate the head of the screw.
• Place the washer over the screw and then apply the hand nut. Hand-tighten
firmly.
CHECKING / ADJUSTING / OPERATING THE BRAKES
• Before each use, check to make sure the brakes are working properly.
• Pulling up on the brake handles locks the wheels momentarily.
• Pushing down on the brake handles will lock the wheels in place.
