Contraindications: The product is not suitable for persons with low strength in arms, with very poor balance,
or with considerable cognitive disabilities.
The product is designed and approved for outdoor use but can also be used indoors. We advise caution when
using the Olympos indoors, as the maximum width of the rollator is 705 mm. The rollator is intended to be an
aid for walking on roads and paths. It is not suitable in rough and/or steep terrain, neither for stairs.
Important to know about safety before use

•
Not to be used by persons heavier than the user weight (see table above).
•
Do not use to transport heavy loads or persons.
•
The rollator is not a toy and therefore should be treated in an appropriate manner.
•
Make sure that the lock wheel for height adjustment for the handles is locked tight.
•
Be aware that some parts of the rollator might feel hot or cold when exposed to extreme temperatures.

Important to know about safety when in use

•
When stationary or parked, always use the parking brakes on both sides A.
•
Before sitting on the seat, make sure the parking brakes on both sides are in locked position A.
•
Do not lean or bend sideways or over the back of the rollator whilst in the seated position. Do not tilt the
rollator more than max. 5° sideways, to avoid risk of falling. Due to the same reason bags etc. must never
be hung on the handlebars.
•
The driving brakes can be held in a little B to reduce speed but must not be in locked position when the
rollator is in motion.
•
To give the right support and safety, make sure the rollator is kept as close to your body as possible C.
•
Walk straight, look forward and hold your backside in D. That is the easiest way to keep your balance.
•
Do not push the rollator too far from your body as this can cause unnecessary strain and you could fall.
•
Be aware that the rollator may roll faster than you walking downhill, which may put you in risk of falling.
•
Do not use the rollator on stairs. Be careful when descending kerbs.
•
Be careful when wearing flared skirts and trousers as they could get caught in the wheels, which could lead
to falling. We therefore recommend not wearing flared/wide clothing.
•
For safety reasons it is prohibited to sit on the rollator during public transportation. Place your rollator
securely and use the parking brake.
