Operating Instructions Opening the Rollator Push down on the seat (C) until all four wheels are extended out and the seat is completely flat. Before using the rollator make sure that all four wheels make contact with the floor and the rollator is stable in the open position. Folding the Rollator • For more compact storage, remove bag and the backrest. • Pull up on the bar under the seat until the rollator closes. Checking the Brakes • Before each use, check to make sure the brakes are working properly.
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.
Maintenance Your Medline rollator should be checked periodically to ensure the brakes are functioning 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.
