Introduction
Specification

Ensure rollator is level to the ground before
using. All screws must be tightened, ensuring
there is no movement.
DO NOT hang anything on either side frame. This
will: (A) cause side tube to bend, and make the
rollator unstable, and/or (B) cause rollator to tip,
resulting in injury or damage.
Remove the rollator from the box. Lay the
rollator down on the floor with the handle tubes
on top. Unhook the red levers from the inside of
the leg tubes. Push the handle tubes forward so
that they are standing upright at a right angle to
the leg tubes, as shown in figure 1:
Pull the black metal levers on each side
backwards to push the washer inwards. Clasp
into the plastic slot on the leg tubes - this will
“snap” into position as in figure 2:

To completely fold the rollator, unlock the left
and right black metal levers from the slots on
the leg tubes. Rotate by 90 degrees and place
towards the front wheel. Pull the handle tubes
carefully down towards the back wheels. The
red levers will engage and click into place when
this is fully folded. The rollator can now be
stored or transported as necessary.
Assembly: Insert the wheel axle into the hole
inside the wheel support. When a “click” is
heard, the wheel is fixed into the correct
position - see figure 6.
Disassembly: Press the red button with one
hand. Take the wheel kit out of the wheel
support with the other hand as per figure 7:
Assembling and Disassembling the
Quick Release Kit

The rollator height should be adjusted so that
when the user’s arm is down by their side, the
handgrip is at wrist height. This will ensure the
arms are at an approximate 20°-30° bend when
using the rollator.
Push the metal button on
the handle tube in. Slide
the handle tube up or down
to the desired height.
Ensure the metal button
protrudes through the
appropriate adjustment
hole on the handle tube as
in figure 8:
Note: DO NOT remove the brake cable from the
handle tube or the brakes will not work.
For the brakes to function properly, the brake
cable should be flush alongside the frame and
correctly hidden inside the tube.

Using the Hand Brake

To ensure the safe operation of the rollator,
these instructions MUST be followed:
DO NOT install or use this equipment before
reading and understanding this instruction
sheet. Please keep this manual properly for
future reference. 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.
Each individual should consult with their
physician or therapist to determine proper
adjustment and usage.
Rollators are NOT intended to be self-propelled
while seated. DO NOT use the rollator on the
stairs or on elevators/escalators, please be
careful when using on slope.
It is recommended that a physical/occupational
therapist should assist in the height adjustment
of the rollator for maximum support and correct
brake activation, the fixture of the screw, the
position of the quick release/assembly kits.
Always ensure screws are fastened to the
connector, so that the connector cannot move
when forced. Ensure all copper balls fully
protrude through adjustment holes.
Safety Summary

Failure to follow these warnings can result in
personal injury. Care should be taken to ensure
that ALL hand and height adjustment are secure
and that moving parts are in good working
order before using this or any mobility aid. In
the process of using, all wheels must always be
in contact with the ground. This will ensure the
rollator is properly balanced. Before using the
seat, the brake must be in the locking position.
When using a rollator in the stationary state,
the hand brake must be locked.
After unfolding or assembling the rollator,
ensure that the seat support tube is securely
locked in the side slot and the quick release/
assembly kits are in their correct position and
locked. Ensure the rollator is level to the ground
before using. All screws must be tightened,
ensuring there is no movement.
DO NOT: hang anything on either side frame. This
will: (A) cause the side tube to bend, and make the
rollator unstable, and/or (B) cause the rollator to
tip, resulting in injury or damage.
• Ensure that every part of the rollator is
secure at ALL times.
• Check all screws regularly and make sure
the seat tubes are fixed into the side slot
properly - if not, press it again to secure.
• Ensure the quick release wheels are
assembled correctly.
