LIGHTWEIGHT & HEAVY DUTY ROLLATORS
WARNING
For your safety and before each use, please perform the daily checks as
described in the maintenance section and in addition
1. Ensure the rollator is securely locked open before use.
i.e seat pad is
fully down
2. Do not exceed the maximum user weight for the walker.
3. Do not overload the basket or carry heavy bags on the handles as this
can affect the stability of the walker.
4. Do not use the rollator as a wheelchair
5. Ensure that the brakes are parked
i.e. brake handles pushed fully
down with an audible click (see fig 1)
before sitting upon the seat pad.
6. Do not stand on the seat of the rollator
WALKING WITH THE ROLLATOR
1. Place rollator ahead of you with brakes parked.
i.e. brake handles
pushed fully down with an audible click (see fig 1)
2. Do not walk forward until you have tested your balance and you feel
strong enough to walk
3. When ready disengage the brakes
i.e. brake handles pulled up with an
audible click (see fig 2)
4. Gently roll the walker ahead of you as you walk. Keep the rollator close
enough to you that it is supportive.
5. If your steps are uneven, it’s best to shorten your longer step rather than
try to lengthen your shorter step. The shorter step is usually the step where
you have less balance.
6. Use the brakes
i.e squeeze the brake handles (see fig 3) to temporarily
halt forward movement, or to slow and control the frame, and or reduce
the speed of your step.
Caution Some very smooth surfaces .e.g. marble, tile or certain floor
coverings may cause the rollator wheels to slide even with the brakes
applied.
