it
away
from the handles as shown at right.
WALKING WITH YOUR FOREARM
ROLLATOR
WARNING: Do not use resting
handles (shown above) to move or
push the rollator. The resting handles
may be pivoted upward out of the
way while walking.
1. Place your forearms on the forearm
pads in a comfortable, stable position,
where you can easily reach the handgrips and handbrakes.
2. Move the rollator slowly forward.
3. Select a pace that is comfortable for you.
STOPPING WITH YOUR FOREARM ROLLATOR
The rollator has loop locking handbrakes. To slow down, squeeze the handbrakes in toward
the handgrips. To hold the rollator in a stationary position, push the handbrakes away from the
handles, until the handbrakes lock into place; the rear wheels will then be locked into parked
position. To release, pull the handbrakes toward the handgrips until the rear wheels move freely.
TO SIT IN FOREARM ROLLATOR
1. Push the handbrakes away from the handgrips until the rear wheels lock into parked position.
2. Test the wheels before sitting down to ensure the rollator will not roll.
3. Before sitting, touch the back of your legs to the edge of the seat to ensure proper positioning
of the rollator.
4. Hold onto rollator handles if necessary to help you lower your body onto the seat.
5. While seated, you may rest your arms on resting handles (shown above).
WARNING: Distribute your body weight evenly on the rollator seat.
WARNING: DO NOT lean on one side of the rollator.
WARNING: Ensure that handbrakes stop rollator and lock in place appropriately before
