Maximum User Weight: 130kg

SETTING THE HANDLE HEIGHT ON THE ROLLATOR

WARNING: Before using this product, please read these instructions

carefully.

Coopers 3 and 4 wheel Rollators have the exclusive purpose

of providing a means in which a disabled user who is unsteady

on their legs or tire easily, can have better mobility and security

in walking. They can be used either as part of a rehabilitation

programme e.g. when the user is recovering from an injury or

operation; and as a long term walking and resting aid e.g. when

the user has permanent difculty with walking. Coopers 3 and 4

wheel Rollators are suitable for use outdoors or indoors

Caution: Use on loose, uneven and or rough terrain e.g. gravel,

sand or grass may affect the safe performace and functionality of the

rollator.

PLEASE NOTE:

These are our recommendations but should be checked with your

physiotherapist.

When the handle height is adjusted correctly the user should be

able to maintain an upright posture with the elbow slightly exed. In

this way, a user’s body weight is taken through the rollator frame by

pushing down on the frame when walking.

CONTINUED

WARNING

For your safety and before each use, please perform the daily checks as

described in the maintenance section and in addition

1. Ensure the rollator is securely locked open before use. i.e seat pad is

fully down and the RED locking mechanism is fully locked.

2. Do not exceed the maximum user weight for the walker.

3. Do not overload the basket or carry heavy bags on the handles as this

can affect the stability of the walker.

4. Do not use the rollator as a wheelchair

5. Ensure that the brakes are parked i.e. brake handles pushed fully

down with an audible click (see g 1) before sitting upon the seat pad.

6. Do not stand on the seat of the rollator

WALKING WITH THE ROLLATOR

1. Place rollator ahead of you with brakes parked. i.e. brake handles

pushed fully down with an audible click (see g 1)

2. Do not walk forward until you have tested your balance and you feel

strong enough to walk

3. When ready disengage the brakes i.e. brake handles pulled up with an

audible click (see g 2)

4. Gently roll the walker ahead of you as you walk. Keep the rollator close

enough to you that it is supportive.

5. If your steps are uneven, it’s best to shorten your longer step rather than

try to lengthen your shorter step. The shorter step is usually the step where

you have less balance.

6. Use the brakes i.e squeeze the brake handles (see g 3) to temporarily

halt forward movement, or to slow and control the frame, and or reduce the

speed of your step.

Caution Some very smooth surfaces .e.g. marble, tile or certain oor

coverings may cause the rollator wheels to slide even with the brakes

applied.

7. To turn around: stay within the width of the rollator even if you are slightly

behind it. Roll the walker around you without twisting your back – you should

always be facing the front of the walker. The brakes can also be used in

maneuvering the rollator; when turning, the user can apply the brake on the

side being turned towards in order to achieve a tighter turning radius.

GETTING OUT OF A CHAIR

Sunrise Medical recommends wherever possible, the use of a chair with a

high seat height and arms to assist you with standing up and sitting down

more easily.

1. Have the rolllator ahead of you with brakes parked. i.e. brake handles

pushed fully down with an audible click (see g 1)

2. Move forward and sit as close to the edge of the chair as you feel

comfortable.

3. Keep your feet as far under you as possible.

4. Try to position your toes below the edge of the chair.

5. Place both hands on the arms/seat of your chair OR one hand on the

chair and one hand on the rollator

Caution Do not tip the rollator by placing too much weight on one side

as you start to stand.

6. Lean forward until you feel some of your weight on your feet.

7. Use your legs to stand as much as possible – your arms should only lift

what your legs cannot. Use your arms mostly to help keep your balance as

you stand.

8. Do not walk forward until you have tested your balance and you feel

strong enough to walk.

9. When ready disengage the brakes. i.e. brake handles pulled up with an

audible click (see g 2)

ROLLATOR

GETTING INTO A CHAIR

1. Stand directly in front of the chair, facing away from it. The back of your

legs should be almost touching the seat of the chair. Do not try to sit until

you are balanced and standing still.

2. Move the rollator just away from you, so that you can bend slightly

forward as you sit down.

3. Engage the brakes. i.e. brake handles pushed fully down with an

audible click (see g 1)

4. Reach behind for the chair with both hands (preferred) or with one hand

and one hand on the rollator.

CAUTION: Do not tip the rollator by placing too much weight one side as

you start to sit.

5. Slowly start to lower yourself using your legs as much as you can.

6. If you drop into the chair, next time try leaning a little more forward as you

sit and bend your knees to lower yourself to the chair more gently.
