Safety Instructions
To ensure your safety in using the Medline rolling walker (rollator), the following safety information and all
instructions must be followed.
GENERAL CAUTIONS:
DO NOT use this product without first reading and understanding the instructions contained in
this manual. If you are unable to understand the warnings, cautions, or instructions, contact a healthcare
professional, dealer, or technical personnel before use. Failure to do this may result in bodily injury or damage
to the device.
DO NOT self-propel the rolling walker while seated.
Rolling walkers are intended for individual use only and are NOT TO BE USED AS A WHEELCHAIR.
Serious injury to the user and/or damage to the rolling walker’s frame or wheels may result from improper use.
DO NOT use the rolling walker to walk backwards, down gradients or to climb stairs, curbs, or to go over
obstacles. Serious risk of fall or injury may occur.
√ The backrest is intended to provide back support while seated. The backrest is not intended to support
full body weight. Avoid leaning while sitting as this may result in fall.
√ All wheels must be in contact with the floor and/or ground at ALL TIMES. This will ensure the rolling walker is
properly balanced.
DO NOT exceed the maximum weight capacity (including bag contents) or serious injury could result:
Maximum weight capacity: 250 lbs (113 kg)
 • Itemsshouldbeplacedcompletelyinthetotebagandshouldnotprotrude.Excessweightmaycausethe
rolling walker to tip, resulting in bodily injury or rolling walker damage.
 • Thecompartmentlocatedundertheseathasaweightlimitationof10lbs(4.5kg).
 • Thetotebaghasaweightlimitationof5lbs(2.25kg).OtherthanthetotebagDO NOT hang anything from
the frame, backrest or handles of the rolling walker.
√ Before each use make sure the rolling walker frame is fully opened.
√ Periodically wipe down the rolling walker with a soft cloth and non abrasive cleaner.
SEAT CAUTIONS:
√ The brakes MUST be in the locked position BEFORE sitting on the seat.
DO NOT sit on the rolling walker while it is being loaded into a vehicle or while it is being transported in
a vehicle.
DO NOT use the seat to transport people or objects.
DO NOT sit on the seat when the rolling walker is on an incline.
√ For good blood circulation, when seated on the rolling walker, ensure that your feet rest on the floor.
BRAKE CAUTIONS:
Check the brakes for proper operation. Make sure that all parts are secure and that the moving parts are
in good working order.
Wheels should roll easily and not wobble.
When rising from a lower position, DO NOT use the rolling walker to provide assistance to the user. If the
rolling walker is used to pull the user up to a standing position, the rolling walker may move even if the brakes
are in the locked position and this could result in a fall.
DO NOT push the rolling walker while brakes are enabled. Brakes are to be used to keep the wheels from
rolling. However, it may not prevent the rolling walker from moving if it is pushed.

To determine the proper height for the hand grip, stand
upright behind the walker with shoulders relaxed, arms hanging
at your side and eyes looking straight ahead. Standing in
current position, the hand grips (A) of the rolling walker should
be adjusted to a height even with the wrists. This will position
the arms at an approximated 20 to 30 degree bend when using
the rolling walker. Secure the hand grip to the closest hole to
the desired height. Insert and tighten the triangular hand screws
until secure. (Important: Hand Tighten Only!)

Adjustment of Brakes:
(There are 2 adjustments for each brake — one at the handle and one at the brake)
When adjusting the brakes on the rolling walker, keep in mind if you adjust it too far one
way or the other, the lock will not function properly. Please test thoroughly and tighten all
parts completely prior to using rolling walker.
1. At the top of the rolling walker, find the adjustment nut which is located where the
cable goes into the brake handle. This part is usually silver.
 •Ifthebrakeistootight,atthehandlesoftherolling
walker, check to see if there is a gap between the
adjustment nut and thumb screw. If there is, turn the
adjustament nut counter-clockwise until it is flush up
against the thumbscrew (You may need pliers to get
started). Then rotate both together clockwise until it is
tight against the handle... this should loosen the brake.
If there is no gap and it is already tight against the
handle, no further adjustment can be made. (Refer to
Step 3 at right.)
 •Ifthebrakeistooloose(notlocking),standingatthehandlesoftherollingwalker,
turn the adjustment nut and thumbscrew counter-clockwise (You may need pliers
to get started). The thumbscrew and adjustment nut will push away from the handle
and this will tighten the brake. Once the brake is adjusted properly, rotate just the
adjustment nut clockwise until snug against the handle. There should now be a gap
between the adjustment nut and the thumbscrew.
2. At the bottom of the rolling walker, find the adjustment nut similar to the one located
at the top. Hold the brake pad against the wheel. This will take the tension off of the
cable.
 •Ifthebrakeistootight,checktoseeifthereisa
gap between the adjustment nut and thumb screw.
If there is, pull up on the cable, and looking at the
adjustment nut from the top, turn the adjustment nut
counter-clockwise, screwing the adjustment nut to
the thumb screw. Adjust to correct tension. If there
is no gap, no further adjustment can be made here.
(Refer to Step 3 at right.)
 •Ifthebrakeistooloose(notlocking),pulluponthe
cable, then, looking at the adjustment nut from the
top, turn the adjustment nut clockwise, screwing the
adjustment nut to the bracket. There will now be a
gap between the thumbscrew and the adjustment
nut. Adjust to correct tension.

3. If the adjustments at left cannot be adjusted enough to correct the problem, you will
need to do this adjustment. PRIOR to doing this step, return any adjustments made in
Steps1and2totheiroriginalcondition.

In this step, you will be adjusting the position
of the Cable Keeper (shown at right). This is
located below the spring by the brake. You will
see that there is a portion of the cable extending
beyond this. The Cable Keeper is held in place
by the set screw in the side of the Cable Keeper.
To adjust the position of the Cable Keeper,
loosen the set screw. Moving the Cable Keeper
may be difficult. If needed, use pliers to help.
After moving the Cable keeper, you must re-
tighten the set screw to test the brake.
•Ifthebrakeistootight,pulltheKeeperdown
the cable so the exposed portion of the cable
is shorter. This will loosen the brake.
•Ifthebrakeistooloose(notlocking),hold
the Keeper and pull the cable down further,
lengthening the exposed portion of the cable.
This will tighten the brake.
For small adjustments after the Cable Keeper
hasbeentightened,referbacktoStep1and2
under “Adjustment of Brakes”.

Backrest Assembly
1. Insert the backrest into the designated slot so that push-buttons are facing outward
(see Figure A).
2. Push buttons in and continue to insert backrest until buttons securely lock into
holes (see Figure B). Please note: There are 2 positions for the back rest. Adjust

theoutside,1-2feetabovetherotatingbasket.
(See Figures A-D).
3. Affix the rotating basket toward the bottom of the rolling walker by removing the
starshaped knob, fitting the opening around the tubing on the device, and screwing in
the knob tightly. The basket should face to the outside as it serves as a resting place
for the base of your cane. (See Figures E-G).
4. Snap the cane into the upper piece and allow the base to rest in the rotating basket.
Adjust the basket/piece placement so that the cane is balanced and secure.
Note: 1.Anoptionalplasticspacermaybeusedbetweentheclampandtherolling
