Important to know about safety before use
•
Take care when folding and unfolding, do not trap your fingers.
•
Be aware not to put your fingers in open holes or between stationary parts.
•
Check the brakes every time before use and that the rollator locks into position when opened.
•
Check frames for damage prior use.
•
Not to be used by persons heavier than the maximum user weight (see table).
•
Do not use to transport heavy loads or persons.
•
Do not climb onto the rollator.
•
Make sure that the lock wheel for height adjustment for the handles is locked tightly.
•
Be aware that some parts of the rollator might feel hot or cold when exposed to extreme temperatures.
•
Training from a skilled person is advised to get to know the device and learn how to use it correctly.
•
Do not alter the product as this might put your safety at risk and the guarantee will be void.
•

Important to know about safety when in use FIG.

•
When stationary or parked, always use the parking brakes on both sides B.
•
Before sitting on the seat C, make sure the parking brakes on both sides are in the locked position B.
•
Do not lean or bend sideways or over the back of the rollator whilst in the seated position D. Do not tilt the
rollator more than max. 5° sideways, to avoid risk of falling. For the same reason bags etc. must never be hung
on the handlebars.
•
When using the back support (accessory for additional comfort): to avoid risk of falling, do not lean too far
backwards on the backrest.
•
The driving brakes can be held in a little A to reduce speed but must not be in locked position when the rolla-
tor is in motion.
•
To give the right support and safety, make sure the rollator is kept as close to your body as possible E. Walk
between the rear wheels, not behind them G.
•
Walk straight and look forward thus maintaining good posture F. This is the easiest way to keep your balance.
•
Do not push the rollator too far from your body G as this can cause unnecessary strain and you could fall.
•
Be aware that the rollator may roll faster than you when walking downhill, which may put you at risk of falling.
•
Do not use the rollator on stairs. Be careful when descending kerbs etc.
•
Keep the rollator away from fire and hot items.
•
Do not use the rollator on slippery or icy surfaces.
•
Be careful when wearing flared skirts and trousers as they could get caught between the brake block and
wheel or kerb lifter, which could lead to falling. We therefore do not recommend wearing flared/wide clothing.
•
For safety reasons it is prohibited to sit on the rollator during public transportation. Stow your rollator securely
and use the parking brake.
