Assembly Instructions
1. Carefully remove the rollator components from the shipping carton. Refer to diagram
(Figure 1)
as needed.
2. Examine all parts for shipping damage.
DO NOT
use the rollator if there is apparent
damage or if any parts (other than the bag) are missing. If there are missing or
damaged parts, please call Medline Customer Care toll free at 1-800-MEDLINE.
3. Remove plastic cover from wheels. Check all of the wheels to see that they are in good
working order and roll freely. Please also ensure that all four wheels touch the ground.
4. Unfold the rollator by pushing down on the Folding Bracket
(I)
until the Frame is in full
extension.
5. Insert the backrest sling
(D)
so that the curved portion faces the front of the unit.
The backsling slides easily into plastic attachment piece.
6. Insert the handlebars
(B)
so that the handgrips
(A)
are aligned with the rear wheels.
The brake cables should be on the outside of the handlebars and frame. Ensure excess
brake cable loops towards the front of the rollator.
7. Adjust the height of the handlebars
(B)
for proper fit. 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 even with the wrists. This will position the arms at an approximate
20º to 30º bend when using the rollator. Secure the handlebars at the closest hole to the
desired height. Insert the screw from the inside of the rollator through the frame. Attach
the washer so it fits snuggly against the frame. Secure the star knob to the screw.
See Figure 2. (Important: Hand Tighten Only!)
To Operate the Brakes:
• To slow down, squeeze the brake
handles up.
• To lock the brakes, push down on
the brake handles until you feel or
hear the brakes click into the locked
position. If the brakes have been
adjusted but the rear wheels on the
rollator move while the brakes are
in the locked position,
DO NOT
use
the rollator. Please call our toll-free
Customer Service number at
1-800-MEDLINE for returns or repairs.
• To release the brakes from the locked
position, simply pull up on the brake
handles.
CAUTION: After making any adjustments to the rollator brakes, you must test
the brakes before the rollator is used. See Maintenance Instructions.

Maintenance
Your rollator should be checked periodically to ensure the brakes are functioning properly and
that all nuts and bolts are secure.
Periodically test the brakes by both walking and squeezing the brakes and by stopping, pushing
down on the brakes to a locked position, and then trying to push the walker. If the brakes do not
lock the wheels, the brakes need to be adjusted. If adjustment does not tighten the brakes,
DO NOT
use the rollator.
