Always check if the brakes are functioning correctly before using the rollator. Squeeze
both brake levers
and try to roll the rollator forward. If the rear wheels do not rotate anymore but instead
drag on the floor surface, it is because the rear wheels are locked in place, which
means the breaks are functioning correctly. Do not use the rollator when the brakes do
not function properly.
Check if the push handles are installed and adjusted correctly.
When braking, always use both brakes. This goes for both parking brake and driving
brake.
•
When stopping or parking the rollator, always use the parking brake. Make sure
both parking brakes are engaged before sitting down on the rollator.
•
To prevent incorrect posture, make sure that the adjustments have been set to the
correct settings for the user (see figure 3b and paragraph 4.1.1.)
•
When unfolding the rollator, make sure the locking mechanism on the frame has
clicked into place (see figure 3c and 3d).
•
Pay attention to any garments or bodyparts as to not let them get caught between
moving parts when folding or unfolding the rollator. Very long or loose pieces of
clothing could also get caught between the wheels of the rollator, which could lead to
dangerous situations. We strongly disadvise to wear such clothing when using the
rollator.
•
Do not use the rollator to transport heavy goods or people.
•
Make sure your (grand) children know that the heavy dutyis not a toy, and to never
use it as such.
•
Never move the rollator while using the seat.
•
It is not permitted to ‘plop down’ onto the rollator when taking a seat.
•
For your own safety, do not bend or reach forward, backward or sideways while
seated on the rollator.
•
All four wheels of the rollator should be in contact with the ground during use, to
provide the best support and balance. Engage the parking brake before taking a seat
on the rollator.
•
If the rollator is exposed to extreme temperatures, parts of the rollator may be very
hot or very cold to the touch.
