

  Risk of burns – Be careful when driving in 

hot or cold environments (sunshine,

sufficient amount of time and when 
touching. 



  Before every usage, check that the star 

buttons for your handgrips are firmly 
locked. 



  Verify if the safety against unwanted 

folding/unfolding is functioning properly.  



  Only proceed moving with your rollator 

when you are standing comfortably and 
when both your hands are resting on the 
pushing handgrips.  



  Do not hold the pushing handgrips with 

wet hands. If you do so, you can loose 
your grip and loose your balance.

11. Care 

It is recommended to use a soapy solution for 
cleaning. The cleaning liquid should in any 
case have a pH value of at least  6. Do not 
use a cleaning agent which contains solvents. 
Observe the instructions of the cleaning liquid 
used. Use a damp cloth and lukewarm water 
for cleaning. Avoid soaking. Do not use metal 
brushes or any other sharp-edged or pointed 
cleaning utensils. In the case of damage to 
the varnish or the woodwork, consult your 
specialist dealer. Regular care would ensure 
that your rollator is preserved in a perfectly 
functional condition. 

12. Disinfection 

For sterilisation use only disinfectants suitable 
for treating varnished metal and wood 
surfaces.  Observe the instructions of the 
cleaning liquid used. Use only proved 
processes (for scrubbing disinfection) and 
disinfectants included in the list of the Robert 
Koch Institute (information can be obtained 
from: www.rki.de). Disinfections may only be 
undertaken by trained persons.  Consult your 
specialist dealer.
