physical, visual and cognitive skills to
operate the rollator safely. If you have any

Assembly Instructions
Remove all packaging. The rollator will be
folded as shown below.
Don’t:
• Use the rollator as an aid to transport
persons; it is not designed as a wheelchair.
• Sit on the rollator if the brakes are not
locked. This could cause the rollator to
move resulting in injury to the user or other
persons.
• ‘Drop’ into the seat of the rollator. Always
sit into the rollator in a smooth, controlled
motion. Seek assistance if necessary.
• Hang objects on the brake levers or
handgrips. This could affect brake
operation and/or stability of the rollator.

Handle Adjustment
Brake Operation
To fold the rollator, pull
the strap on the seat,
push the handles
together and fold to
the horizontal position.
Release Lock

Brakes must be applied in the lock position
when the seat is going to be used, pre-check
the lock by pushing forward on the rollator
Brake adjustment is carried out as follows:
Turn the adjuster screw anti-clockwise to
increase the tension, then lock the adjustment
by turning the locking nut clockwise whilst
holding the adjuster screw stationary.
Brake adjustment reduced to allow light
pressure may be ineffective on the brake in the
locked position.
Over a period of time the brake cables may
stretch, and if no further adjustments can be
made the cables should be replaced.
The castors should be checked that they are
secure each time before using the rollator. Also,
check the brakes operate correctly and the
handles and handknobs are secure.
Should any part of the rollator appear loose or
insecure discontinue use until it is inspected by
an authorised dealer.
