Using the Rollator
Opening:
Fold out the Rollator and
push down the cross bar fully. Fit
basket in correct position.
Folding:
Remove basket and lift up the
seat to fold the Rollator for storage.
Diag:1 shows Rollator in folded position.
Walking:
This unit is to be used as a
mobility aid, creating a natural gait as
the user walks securely with their
primary weight distribution between the
handlebars and with the unit in front of
the user.
Braking:
The locking brakes are
intended to assist the user to control the
Rollator. To apply the brakes when in
motion, pull up both of the loop handles.
(See diag:2a).
To apply the parking brakes, push down the
handles until they lock down. A distinct click
indicates that the brake is in the correct
position. (See Diagram 2b) It is important
that both the brakes are put in the parking
position when they are to be used. Lift up the
handle to release.
·
Caution must be taken when
negotiating curbs and other
obstacles, or when using on
sloping, uneven or slippery
surfaces. Failure to do so may
result in a serious risk of a fall or
injury.
·
Do not perform any adjustments to
the Rollator while it is in use.
·
Wheels must be in contact with
floor at all times.
·
When using the Rollator in a
stationary position, the brakes must
be locked.
If you apply the parking brakes, or pull up
the brakes to stop whilst moving, and the
rear wheels on the Rollator still move, stop
use immediately. Do not use again until the
brakes have been checked and correctly
adjusted. Refer to the maintenance
section.
Sitting:
Ensure the Rollator is fully open
and the parking brakes are applied before
sitting on the seat.
Cleaning
·
Clean regularly, wipe down with a soft,
non abrasive cloth.
·
Ensure there is no build up of dirt or
debris around the axle, brakes and
wheels.
