How do I place the tray plate?
Underneath the tray plate you will find 4 pins. These pins fall into
the ringed holes in your seat. By placing the pins into the ringed
holes you prevent the tray plate from sliding off your seat while
using the rollator. Do always check if the tray plate is placed
correctly before using your rollator with tray plate.
What is the proper posture when walking behind the rollator?
In order to come to the right posture behind the rollator, please mind the following:
•
Try to walk as upright as possible
•
Stay close to the rollator when using it
•
Do not lean on the handles too much
•
Make sure you can reach and apply the brakes at all times
•
Prevent a crooked posture due to fatigue
When tired, sit down for a moment and recuperate. You need enough balance
and strength in both arms and legs to be able to walk around with a rollator,
you also need a pair of sturdy (laced up) shoes and proper eye sight. Wear glasses
if necessary.
What should I pay attention to when walking with the rollator
inside or outside?
Walking with the rollator inside requires the following:
•
Make sure you have enough space to move around; have
furniture moved if necessary
•
Remove any unsecured rugs and thresholds
•
Sufficiently light all rooms that you enter (including the hallway)
Walking with the rollator outside requires the following:
•
Beware of loose tiles and stones on sidewalks
•
Properly lift your legs to prevent tripping
•
Opt for having your fingers on the brakes at all times so you
can brake immediately should you trip
•
Make as much use as possible of wheelchair provisions on the edges
of sidewalks when getting on or off pavements
•
Take a rest when necessary (make sure to secure the brakes first)
Also take into account that you may need a bit more time crossing the road.
