How to adjust your STAR DX Rollator
1. Fully depress each push button on all adjustable legs and slide up or down to the
desired seat height (image 3). User will hear an audible “click” when push buttons
engage and lock. Recommended seat height allows user’s feet to rest rmly on the
ground. Adjust handle heights to the appropriate level using the aforementioned
method (see Determining the correct handle height on pg. 3).

NOTE: Ensure all push buttons are fully engaged before using. All legs must be the
same height, and both handles must be the same height before operating to ensure
safety of the user.
Using & adjusting the handbrakes
How to use handbrakes
Walkers with locking handbrakes
To use:
1. Squeeze handbrake to stop the rollator or control your walking speed.
To lock/unlock:
1. Push down on the brake handles.
2. The handles will lock into a downward position when properly engaged.
3. Pull up on brake handles to unlock.
How to adjust the handbrakes
The following information is designed to assist you with the adjustment of your
Handbrake System. Note: The braking system on your new rollator has been preset
from the factory. To maintain this preset position, be sure that the tension adjustment

screw locking nuts are tight against the housing
and the rear wheels (image 4). If you are still having
difculty with your brakes, you can adjust them by
doing the following:
1. Handbrake is too loose
Loosen the tension adjustment screw locking nut and
turn the screw one full turn clockwise (as viewed from
standing at the back of the rollator). If this does not
correct the adjustment, repeat one full turn at a time
until you have adjusted your brakes. Make sure the
locking nut is spun tight against the housing to prevent the screw from loosening.
2. Handbrake is too tight
Loosen the tension adjust screw locking nut and turn the screw one full turn counter-
clockwise (as viewed from standing at the back of the rollator). If this does not correct
the adjustment, repeat one full turn at a time until you have adjusted your brakes.
Make sure the locking nut is spun tight against the housing to prevent the screw from
loosening.
How to use your rollator
How to open
1. Hold the rollator upright and rest it on the rear wheels.
2. Hold both handles and squeeze the handbrakes.
3. Push down and forward on both handles until all four wheels are touching the
ground.
4. Push down on the bottom of the bag until the folding crossbar is fully engaged.
How to fold
1. Swivel the padded seat up and gently pull up on the
metal handle until the rollator is in the folded position.
Determining the correct handle height
Stand upright behind the rollator with your arms hanging
at your side and both feet in line with the rear wheels.
Adjust the height of the handles so that they are even with
your wrists. This should create a 20 to 30 degree bend in
the elbow when using the rollator (image 5).
How to walk with a rollator (image 6)
1. Hold the handles with your ngers resting around the
handbrake in the squeezing position. This position will
allow you to quickly stop the rollator or control your
speed if necessary by squeezing the handbrake.
2. Roll your rollator slowly forward so that the rear wheels
are a few inches ahead of your body.
3. Step forward and place one foot in line with the rear wheels.
4. Maintaining a steady roll forward, place your other foot in line with the rear wheels.
5. Determine a pace that is comfortable and allows you to place each step in line with
the rear wheels.
How to sit with a rollator
1. Lock the brakes by pushing down on the brake handles until it locks in the
downward position.

To prevent tipping over when sitting
Distribute weight evenly on the seat. DO NOT lean on one side of the rollator. Both feet
should rest at on the ground. DO NOT support your full body weight on the handles
when attempting to sit down.
Warranty
