professional, dealer, or technician before use. Failure to do this may result in bodily injury or damage to
the device.
DO NOT self-propel the rollator while seated.
Rollators are intended for individual use only and are NOT TO BE USED AS A WHEELCHAIR. Serious
injury to the user and/or damage to the rollator's frame or wheels may result from improper use.
DO NOT use the rollator to walk backwards, down gradients or to climb stairs, curbs, or to go over
obstacles. Serious risk of fall or injury may occur.
√ The backrest is intended to provide back support while seated. The backrest is not intended to support
full body weight. Avoid leaning while sitting as this may result in a fall.
√ All wheels must be in contact with the floor and/or ground at ALL TIMES. This will ensure the rollator is
properly balanced.
DO NOT exceed the maximum weight capacity (including bag contents) or serious injury could result:
Maximum weight capacity: 300 lbs (136 kg)
• I tems should be placed completely in the tote bag and should not protrude. Excess weight may cause
the rollator to tip, resulting in bodily injury or rollator damage.
• T he tote bag located under the seat has a weight limitation of 10 lbs (4.5 kg).
√ Before each use make sure the rollator frame is fully and securely opened.
√ Periodically wipe down the rollator with a soft cloth and non abrasive cleaner.
SEAT WARNINGS:
The brakes MUST be in the locked position BEFORE sitting on the seat.
DO NOT sit on the rollator while it is being loaded into a vehicle or while it is being transported in a vehicle.
DO NOT use the seat to transport people or objects.
DO NOT sit on the seat when the rollator is on an incline.
BRAKE WARNINGS:
Check the brakes for proper operation. Make sure that all parts are secure and that the moving parts are in
good working order.
Wheels should roll easily and not wobble.
When rising from a lower position, DO NOT use the rollator to provide assistance to the user. If the rollator
is used to pull the user up to a standing position, the rollator may move even if the brakes are in the locked
position and this could result in a fall.
DO NOT push the rollator while brakes are enabled. Brakes are to be used to keep the wheels from rolling.
However, it may not prevent the rollator from moving if it is pushed.
