MAINTENANCE
• Wipe rollator frame with a clean, soft cloth at least once
a week. All metal parts can be cleaned with auto wax or
similar products. If exposed to moisture, dry immediately
• Wipe the hand grips with cold water and a clean towel.
• NEVER use ammonia-based cleaning solutions or soap on
the hand grips. This may cause them to loosen or slide off
the frame.
• NEVER use organic solvents, abrasive cleaners or scouring
pads on any part of the rollator.
• This rollator should NEVER be used inside a moving vehicle
as a walking aid or seat.
• ALWAYS INSPECT ROLLATOR PRIOR TO USE. Properly
inspecting and maintaining your rollator can reduce the risk
of injury. Make sure that all parts are secure and are in good
working order. ALWAYS check the fasteners, wheels, brakes,
and seat for tightness prior to use. Make sure the parking
brakes are working, and the rollator wheels cannot turn with
the brakes on. If rollator is not in good working order or
fasteners cannot be tightened, DISCONTINUE USE OF THE
ROLLATOR and replace.
• ALWAYS wear protective footwear while using the rollator.
• ALWAYS keep shoelaces, loose clothing and/or accessories
clear of the wheels and handlebars during use.
• ALWAYS make sure the rollator is fully opened and the
folding bar is locked in the down position before use.
• ALWAYS maintain good posture while using the rollator.
When walking with the rollator, keep your feet in line with the
rear wheels, and DO NOT let the rollator get too far in front
of you. When sitting on the rollator, keep both feet in contact
with the oor and DO NOT lean out of the seat.
• BE AWARE of your surroundings when operating the rollator.
Look for hazards and avoid them. Avoid streets and surfaces
with water, sand, gravel, dirt, leaves, and other debris. Wet,
slick, uneven, and/or rough surfaces may impair traction and
contribute to possible accidents. Loose cords and unsecured
rugs may move suddenly and cause a loss of balance.
• DO NOT use a rollator in mud, ice, or puddles.
• NEVER use near steps, sloped driveways, hills, and/or ramps
with a steep incline (NEVER greater than 15 degrees).
