SAFETY SUMMARY
To ensure the safe operation of the Alpine Forearm Rollator, these
instructions MUST be followed:
General warning
• DO NOT install or use this equipment without rst reading and understanding
• the instructions. If you are unable to understand the Warnings, Cautions or
Instructions, contact a healthcare professional, dealer or technical personnel
before attempting to install this equipment–otherwise, injury or damage may
occur.
• User should always consult with their physician or therapist to determine
proper adjustment and usage.
• This equipment is NOT intended to be self-propelled while seated.
• A physical/occupational therapist should assist in the height adjustment of
the rollator for maximum support and correct brake activation, the xture of
the screw and the position of the quick release/assembly kits.
• Always ensure screws are fastened to the connector, so that the connector
can’t move when forced. Ensure the correct position of the quick release/
assembly kits, and they will not fall even with opposite force. Ensure all snap
buttons fully protrude through adjustment holes. Ensure the braking system
is eective when brake handle is locked or released.
• Care should be taken to ensure that ALL handles, height adjustment locks,
wheels, brakes or any other functional or moving parts are in good working
order before operation.
• All wheels MUST be in contact with the oor at ALL TIMES during use. This will
ensure the upright rollator is properly balanced. The brakes MUST be in the
locked position BEFORE using the seat.

General warning
• When using the rollator in a stationary position, the hand brakes MUST be locked.
• DO NOT put your full weight on the linkage component nor use it as a handle
to carry the Walker. It is designed only for the purpose of connecting the two
armrest supports, neither for supporting the user nor carrying the Walker.
• DO NOT go up or down inclines greater than 15% or diagonally across inclines
greater than 5% when using as a traditional upright rollator with armrest
locked in horizontal position.
• DO NOT ride the rollator with all your weight on the armrests or lean
disproportionately on one of the armrests.
FAILURE TO FOLLOW THESE WARNINGS CAN LEAD TO INJURY.
Stability warning
• The Rollator can provide ambulatory assistance to an individual weighing up
to 300 lbs. (136kg), INCLUDING the weight of the contents in the bag.
• The Rollator bag has a weight limitation of 10 lbs. (4.5kg)
Folding or assembling warnings
• After unfolding or assembling rollator, make sure the seat tubing is securely
locked at both side slots, and the quick release/assembly kits are in their
correct position. All screws must be tightly locked without movement.
• DO NOT hang an additional weight on either side of the frame. This may cause
the rollator unbalanced when it is fully unfolded, resulting in injury or damage.
Installation warning
• Periodically check the rollator and attachments are properly and securely
locked in place BEFORE using.
