Safety Instructions

To ensure your safety in using the Medline rollator, the following safety information
and all instructions must be followed.

GENERAL CAUTIONS:

DO NOT use this product without first reading and understanding the instructions
contained in this manual. If you are unable to understand the warnings, cautions, or instruc-
tions, contact a healthcare professional, dealer, or technical personnel before use. Failure to do
this may result in bodily injury or damage to the device.
DO NOT self-propel the rollator while seated.
Rollators are intended for individual use only and are NOT TO BE USED AS A WHEELCHAIR.
Serious injury to the user and/or damage to the rollator's frame or wheels may result from
improper use.
DO NOT use the rollator to walk backwards, down gradients or to climb stairs, curbs, or to
go over obstacles. Serious risk of fall or injury may occur.
√
The backrest is intended to provide back support while seated. The backrest is not intended
to support full body weight. Avoid leaning while sitting as this may result in fall.
√
All wheels must be in contact with the floor and/or ground at ALL TIMES. This will ensure
the rollator is properly balanced.
DO NOT exceed the maximum weight capacity (including bag contents) or serious injury
could result.
Maximum weight capacity: 250 lbs (113 kg)
• I tems should be placed completely in tote bag and should not protrude. Excess weight may
cause the rollator to tip, resulting in bodily injury or rollator damage
• The bag located under the seat has a weight limitation of 10 lbs (4.5 kg).
• The bag that hangs off the front has a weight limitation of 5 lbs (2.25 kg).
√
Before each use make sure the rollator frame is fully opened.
√
Periodically wipe down the rollator with a soft cloth and nonabrasive cleaner.
Do not use rollator like a kneewalker or scooter. This device should only be used for assis
tance to walk, not hop or any other type of mobility.
SEAT CAUTIONS:
√
The brakes MUST be in the locked position BEFORE sitting on the seat.
DO NOT sit on the rollator while it is being loaded into a vehicle or while it is being transported
in a vehicle.
DO NOT use the seat to transport people or objects.
DO NOT sit on the seat when the rollator is on an incline.
BRAKE CAUTIONS:
Check the brakes for proper operation. Make sure that all parts are secure and that the moving
parts are in good working order.
Wheels should roll easily and not wobble.
When rising from a lower position, DO NOT use the rollator to provide assistance to the user. If
the rollator is used to pull the user up to a standing position, the rollator may move even if the
brakes are in the locked position and this could result in a fall.
DO NOT push the rollator while brakes are enabled. Brakes are to be used to keep the wheels
from rolling. However, it may not prevent the rollator from moving if it is pushed.
Note: Only use accessories and spare parts authorized by Medline Industries
