WALKING
This unit is to be used as a mobility aid creating a natural balance.
With hands grasped securely onto handgrips, slowly walk behind
the rollator. Gently push forward using evenly distributed weight
between handlebars.
BRAKING
Normal Brake
can be activated by squeezing the brake handle,
similar to operating the brakes of a bicycle. This function may be
applied while walking with the rollator to slow down momentum,
to stop for a moment, or to maneuver around obstacles which may
be in your path.
Parking Brake
can be activated by pushing the handle down into
the lock position. This function should be activated when the user
stops for a period of time. For safety reasons, the parking brake
should always be engaged before sitting down on the seat. For
example, while shopping it is beneficial to activate the parking
brake while stopped in an aisle to avoid the rollator from advancing
forward. To release the parking brake, gently pull up.
The braking system is convenient and easy to operate. People who may have hand disabilities should find the
brake handles wide, comfortable and non-binding. Minimum pressure will need to be applied to activate the
loop-lock brake system.

FOLDING
It is not necessary to remove the storage pouch before folding the rollator. From the user side of the unit,
grasp the folding strap located inside the storage pouch and lift into the folded position. The rollator will fold
easily for storage or transport.
MAINTENANCE
Always make sure your brakes are operating correctly before use. Keep the brake handles free from dirt, dust
and grime. Build-up of particles could cause your brakes to engage improperly. If the brakes are not func-
tioning, check the cables for looseness. The cables can be tightened at the adjuster screw located where the
cable is connected to the brake handle. If the cable is broken, it will need to be replaced.
Periodically check
and tighten all nuts, bolts, screws and other hardware on rollator.
