Safety Instructions (continued)
• 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
exceed the maximum weight capacity (including bag contents) or serious injury could
result:
Maximum weight capacity: 250 lbs (113 kg)
• Before each use make sure the rollator frame is fully opened.
• Check the brakes for proper operation. Make sure that all parts are secure and that moving parts are
in good working order. Wheels should roll and not wobble.
• All wheels must be in contact with the floor and/or ground at
ALL TIMES
. This will ensure the
rollator is properly balanced.
• The brakes
MUST
be in the locked position
BEFORE
sitting on the seat.
• DO NOT
sit on the rollator if the ground is sloped or uneven.
• 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.
• DO NOT
perform any adjustments to the rollator while it is in use.
• Only use accessories and spare parts authorized by Medline Industries, Inc.
• DO NOT
push rollator while brakes are enabled. Brakes are used to keep the wheels from rolling.
But it may not prevent the rollator from moving if it is pushed.
• DO NOT
use the rollator to provide assistance while rising from a lower position. If you use it to pull
yourself 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.
• Inspect the handle bar grips prior to use. Assure the plastic parts are still functional if they are
exposed to extreme temperatures (above 100°F (38°C) or below 32°F (0°C) high humidity and/or
become wet.
• DO NOT
twist hand grips as they are not meant to be twisted. Failure to do this could result in a fall.
• DO NOT
hang anything from the frame of the rollator other than the bag included or the tote bag
accessory. Items should be placed completely in the tote bag and should not protrude. This may
cause the rollator to tip, resulting in bodily injury or rollator damage.
• The backrest is intended to provide back support as you sit on the seat. The backrest is not intended
to support full weight.
