Usage Features:

General Use and Safety:

Users and attendants must thoroughly read and understand the user manual before use.
The rollator is a quality product from OasisSpace, with a focus on continuous improvement.
It is crucial to read the manual carefully for safe use and maintenance, as it also serves as proof of warranty.
Safety instructions are general guidelines; users are advised to consult a professional for personalized techniques based on their physical capabilities.
The rollator requires frequent maintenance, much of which can be done by the user, with an annual professional check recommended.
Any structural changes to the rollator will void the warranty.
Regular checks are essential to ensure the rollator functions correctly and to prevent dangerous situations.
Only use the rollator on pavements or rollator-user friendly roads; avoid roads meant for motor vehicles.
Do not use on loose sand, rough terrain, or wet and slippery surfaces with little traction.
Avoid driving the rollator onto the edges of curbs.
Never attach anything to the wheels.
Engage the parking brake when using an elevator or escalator.
The shopping bag has a maximum weight capacity of 5 kg; never use the rollator to transport people or heavy goods.

Braking System:

The rollator features two types of brakes: a parking brake and a driving brake.

Brake Check: Always check if the brakes are functioning correctly before use. Squeeze both brake levers and attempt to roll the rollator forward. If the rear wheels lock and drag, the brakes are working. Do not use if brakes are faulty.
Hand Brake Installation: Insert the handbrake to the handle bar twist on the screw.
Handgrip Adjustment: The handgrip can be rotated 360 degrees, and its front and rear distance can be adjusted for user comfort. Ensure it is firmly installed.
Driving Brake: To reduce speed while walking, squeeze the brake lever (photo 13). Do not push the rollator while squeezing the brake lever, as this will damage the tires and is not covered by warranty.
Parking Brake: To engage, push down the brake lever until a click is heard (photo 13 & 14). To disengage, pull the brake lever upwards until a click confirms release (photo 16). Always engage both parking brakes before sitting.

Folding and Unfolding:

To fold: Stand behind the rollator, flip up the seat (photo 1). Lift the black bar above the back of the frame and pull upwards (photo 2 & 3). Adjust push handles to the lowest height and wheels to the shortest length for a compact form (photo 4).
To unfold: Ensure the locking mechanism on the frame clicks into place.
Caution: Pay attention to garments or body parts to avoid getting caught in moving parts during folding/unfolding. Loose clothing can be dangerous.

Backrest:

The backrest is removable.
To remove: Twist the lever from 'lock' to 'open' position on one side (photo 6). Slide the backrest upwards (photo 7) to release it from the frame (photo 8). Repeat on the other side to fully remove (photo 10).

Seat Use:

Always engage the parking brake before sitting on the rollator to prevent movement.
Sit calmly; do not 'plop down' onto the seat.
Only use the seat when the rollator is stationary. Moving or pushing the rollator while seated is dangerous and voids the warranty.
For safety, do not bend or reach forward, backward, or sideways while seated.
Ensure all four wheels are in contact with the ground for stability.
Always place your feet between the rear wheels and your back towards the front wheels when seated.

Shopping Basket:

The rollator includes a removable shopping basket.
To remove: Flip up the seat (photo 18). Release the four snap fasteners that attach the basket loops to the frame (photo 19). Once all fasteners are released, the basket can be removed (photo 20).
To reattach: Follow the steps in reverse order.
Warning: The shopping basket has a maximum capacity of 5 kg. Exceeding this weight can destabilize the rollator and cause it to tip over.

Ascending and Descending Obstacles/Inclines:

Ascending an Obstacle: Approach in a straight line, backwards. Stand on the obstacle with the rollator in front on the lower surface. Lift the rear wheels by pulling upwards on the push handles. Pull the rollator towards you, place the rear wheels on the obstacle. Step backwards and roll the rollator further onto the obstacle. Carefully place the front wheels on the obstacle, pushing the rollator forward and lifting the rear wheels if necessary. Ensure no objects are on the seat.
Descending an Obstacle: Approach in a straight line, downwards. Drive the front wheels onto the lower part and brake slightly to safely descend. Release the brake once fully descended.
Ascending an Incline: Always ascend in a straight line, never at an angle. Lean forward slightly to shift the center of gravity. Do not carry extra weight on the rollator.
Descending an Incline: Always descend in a straight line, never at an angle. Do not lean forward; lean backwards slightly for stability. Engage the parking brake if stopping. Regulate speed by braking slightly as needed.

Wheel Adjustment:

Rear Wheels: On the rear of the frame, find the silver adjustment button. Press the button (photo 23) and pull on the frame part where the rear wheel is attached to change height (five positions). Ensure the wheel tube clicks into place. Release the button to lock.
Front Wheels: On the front of the frame, find the silver adjustment button. Push the button and slide the tube with the wheel up or down (photo 26) to change height (four positions). Ensure the wheel tube clicks into place. Release the button to lock.
Warning: Always adjust both rear wheels or both front wheels to the same height for correct posture, safety, and stability.

Maintenance Features:

General Maintenance:

Periodical maintenance is crucial for a long product lifespan and optimal user comfort. Poor maintenance can lead to malfunctions and void the warranty.
Users can perform small maintenance tasks to extend the rollator's life and maximize comfort.

Cleaning:

Clean the upholstery, frame, and plastic components regularly with mild soap and water.
Avoid aggressive or abrasive cleaning agents, pressure washers, or steam cleaners.
Regularly wax the frame to protect it from moisture, but do not use wax with abrasive properties, solvents, harsh chemicals, or silicone spray.
Always dry the rollator thoroughly after cleaning or exposure to rain.

Tyres:

Check tyres periodically for wear and tear. Replace if wear is severe.

Brakes:

Check for sharp edges on the brakes; replace if found.
Ensure all brake parts are properly attached.
Check if the braking mechanism operates smoothly. If not, apply W30 oil or Teflon to the brake joints.
Ensure brakes do not touch the tyres while walking.

Frame:

Keep the frame in excellent condition.
Check if the rollator folds and unfolds smoothly.
Check if the rollator drives in a straight line.

Rear Wheels:

Check if rear wheels rotate smoothly and do not drag.
Check for play on the rear wheels; if present, the housing may be loose.

Castors and Front Forks:

Ensure castors and front forks move smoothly for proper steering.
Check if nuts are tightened correctly: not too loose (to prevent vibration/looseness) and not too tight (to prevent ball bearings from being under too much pressure and restricting movement).
Check the front fork housing of the castors for wear.

Periodical Maintenance Schedule:

Every Month:
- Check if the rollator folds and unfolds properly.
- Check the upholstery for wear and tear.
- Check for play on either the front or rear wheels.
- Check if the brakes function properly.
Every Three Months:
- Check if all nuts and bolts are still tightened properly and adjust if necessary.
- Check the tread of the tyres for any signs of wear.
