c
heck the fasteners, wheels and brakes for tightness prior to use. Make sure that parking brakes are
working, and the rollator wheels cannot turn with the brakes on. If rollator is not in good working order or fasteners cannot be tightened, DISCONTINUE USE
OF THE ROLLATOR.
• All wheels and handles MUST be adjusted to the same height for safe use. DO NOT use the rollator if wheels or handles are out of alignment, or if hardware is
not secure. As applicable to your rollator model, all hand knobs must be firmly tightened and height adjustment buttons must protrude fully through the
height adjustment holes with an audible “click”.
• DO NOT use this device if you are unable to evenly balance your weight between the two handles. DO NOT use this device if you have a history of dizziness,
balance problems, or a need for a device that can support heavy leaning. Consult a healthcare provider to determine if this device is right for you.
• ALWAYS wear protective footwear while using the rollator. ALWAYS keep shoelaces, loose clothing and/or accessories
clear of the wheels and handle bars during use.
• ALWAYS maintain good posture while using the rollator. When walking with the rollator, keep your feet in line with the rear wheels, and DO NOT let the
rollator get too far in front of you.
• DO NOT
use the rollator to pull yourself up from a chair or other seated position. Use the arms of the chair to support your weight as you stand.
• ALWAYS have all wheels in contact with the floor/ground while using this device. Failure to maintain wheel contact could result in improper balance of the
rollator and cause injury or damage.
• ALWAYS make sure the rollator is fully opened and the folding hinge is locked in the down position before use.
• DO NOT hang anything from the rollator handles or frame. Items may only be carried in the provided pouch/basket.
• DO NOT climb, kneel, or stand on the rollator. This is not a toy. DO NOT let children play on rollator.
• BE AWARE of your surroundings when operating the rollator. Look for hazards and avoid them. Avoid streets and surfaces with water, sand, gravel, dirt, leaves,
and other debris. Wet, slick, uneven and/or rough surfaces may impair traction and contribute to possible accidents. Loose cords and unsecured rugs may move
suddenly and cause a loss of balance. DO NOT use a rollator in mud, ice, or puddles.
• NEVER
use near steps, sloped driveways/hills with a steep incline (never greater than 15 degrees). DO NOT walk backwards down a slope.
• DO NOT use stairs or escalators while using the rollator. DO NOT use near swimming pool areas.
• ALWAYS take additional care and move slowly when moving from carpeted to hard surface floors or cracks/separations in walkway surfaces; avoid sharp
bumps, drainage grates, and sudden surface changes. Rollator may abruptly stop if a wheel becomes wedged.
• DO NOT use the hand brake as a primary stopping tool. It may be used if needed but is primarily designed to maintain a stopped stance.
• DO NOT use while under the influence of mind-altering drugs, alcohol or while suffering from dizziness.
• DO NOT store in direct sunlight or outdoors. Exposure to extreme temperatures (heat, cold, moisture, etc.) may make surfaces (brake handles, etc.) hot to the
touch, weak or brittle. Ensure brake handles DO NOT twist and skin contact surfaces are cool to the touch before use.
