Footrests
Step 1:
Install front wheel into
receptacle located on the
front of the frame (see fig. 1)
Thread bolt through holes
on rollator frame, attach star
head clamp knob and
tighten (see fig. 2) Repeat
step 1 to attach the second
front wheel
Step 2:
Install rear wheel into
receptacle located on the
rear of the frame whilst
pressing the locking pin (see
fig. 3) The locking pin will
pop up when the wheel is
securely in place (see fig.
4) Repeat step 2 to attach
second rear wheel.
When attaching the rear wheels make sure that the wheels are on the outside
of the frame and that the brake linkage is on the underside.
Step 3:
Attach the handles by depressing the locking pin on the
base of the handle assembly and sliding into the
recaptacle on the main frame. Repeat on the other side.
When attaching the handle assembly make sure that
the handle is facing towards the rear wheels. The
ergonomic fin on the handgrip should be facing in.
Adjust the height level of the handles to suit different
users. Press the locking pin on the main frame and pull
the handgrip upwards or downwards. As the handle
moves, release the buttons. This automatically locks in
the next possible height. Repeat this process until the
desired height is reached. Make sure both handles are
locked at the same level (see fig. 5)

CARE AND MAINTENANCE & YOUR OBLIGATION
1. Only use your RM Rollator for the purpose for which it intended, which is as an aid
to walking. It is intended your Rollator is only used on standard pavements or at
home. It should not be used on rough terrain or pot-holed surfaces. The use of your
Rollator on these surfaces can seriously compromise your safety and may damage
your Rollator beyond repair.
BRAKE ADJUSTMENT
Your RM Rollator brake system will
require periodic adjustment.
To adjust the brakes loosen Nut B and
then screw/unscrew Nut A. When
adjusted re-tighten Nut B. If further
adjustment is required then loosen the
Locking Screw and then using a pair of
pliers pull the cable down by
approximately a millimetre. Re-tighten
Locking Screw. The brakes can then be
adjusted further by loosening Nut B and
screwing/unscrewing Nut A as before
(see fig. 19)
BRAKE CABLES
It is important that when the walker is
assembled the cable ties proved are
used to fasten the brake cables to the
frame so that they do not obstruct the
user or get caught in other parts of the
walker.
fig. 19

CARE AND MAINTENANCE & YOUR OBLIGATION (continued)
2. Keep your RM Rollator clean by wiping down with a damp cloth with a mild
detergent. Do not under any circumstances use an abrasive or solvent based
cleaner, as this will seriously damage the Rollator and void your warranty.
3. Wipe off all surfaces with a dry cloth and use a water dispersing agent such as
WD40 on all metal joints.
4. Check that all wheels and the folding mechanism function correctly and that all
wheels move freely. Pay particular attention to the front wheels, ensuring that they
rotate freely and without obstruction and that they are attached securely to the
frame.
5. Monthly Checks - check that all locking pins are properly secure (fig 11 & 12).
Check that no components are loose. Check the adjustment to your brakes (fig 19).

company. To do so will annul your warranty and may seriously compromise your
safety.
