Safety precautions
Before use, it is important that you read all instructions
carefully and familiarise yourself with your new product.
We unicare about your safety at all times.
• Ensure all components are properly and securely installed
• Ensure you have sufficient strength to safely operate and control
the rollator and hand brakes
• Before using the rollator as a temporary seat, ensure the brakes
are locked
• Do not release the brakes until you are standing
• Do not exceed the maximum recommended weight limit
of 300lb (136kg)
• Avoid storing the rollator in direct sunlight, as parts exposed
to the sunlight will heat up and may cause injury to the skin

the tote bag
• Do not move the rollator while seated as this is a walking aid only
– it is not to be used as a transportation device
