Operating Instructions
Using the rollator as a walker:
For proper positioning and use of your rollator, imagine a line drawn across the back of
the rear wheels. Part of one foot should be slightly ahead of that line as you walk.
Using the rollator as a seat:
• Push the rollator into the position where you want to sit
• LOCK the brakes BEFORE sitting.
To Operate the Brakes:
• To slow down, squeeze the brake handles up.
• To lock the brakes, push down on the brake handles until you feel or hear the brakes
click into locked position. If the brakes have been adjusted but the rear wheels on
the rollator move while the brakes are in the locked position, DO NOT use the
rollator. Please call our toll-free customer service number at 1-800-MEDLINE for
returns or repairs.
• To release the brakes from the locked position, simply pull up on the brake handles.
Safety Warnings: Also See Instructions
Before using the seat portion of your rollator, ALWAYS lock the brakes FIRST.
DO NOT navigate the rollator while sitting on the seat. The brakes should always
be locked when the seat is being used. Risk of fall and serious injury may result
if brakes are NOT locked while the user is sitting on the seat.

13
Maintenance
Your Medline rollator should be checked periodically to ensure the brakes are function-
ing properly and that all nuts and bolts are secure.
Periodically test the brakes by both walking and squeezing the brakes and by stopping,
pushing down on the brakes to a locked position, and then trying to push the walker.
If the brakes do not lock the wheels, the brakes need to be adjusted. If adjustment
does not tighten the brakes, DO NOT use the rollator.
