Operating Instructions
Opening the Rollator
Unfold the Medline rollator by pushing down on the support rod (F) to spread the frame apart until
the folding brackets (I) are in full extension. Push the seat down into place.
Folding the Rollator
Remove the basket from under the seat. Pull up on the folding bracket tie-bar on the support rod
(F) until the frame is fully collapsed.
Checking the Brakes
• Before each use, check to make sure the
brakes are working properly.
• Applying pressure on brake handles
using a pulling up motion the brakes will
stop the wheels until the brake handle is
released (Fig 21).
• To lock the brake on, push down on the
brake handles until they snap into a lower
position (Fig 22). The brake handles will
stay in the lower position and the brakes
will remain locked on. To release the lock,
simply pull up on the brake handles. 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.
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.
