3.2 Intended use

CAUTION

Risk of falling

The rollator is meant as support of the leg function during walking. Do not use the rollator if you have other physical limitations that may cause unsafe use of your rollator, like a weak arm, balance disorders, ...

The rollator is designed and produced solely to be used as walking aid for one person with a maximum weight of 125 kg.

The rollator will compensate the lack of adequate support by the legs by leaning on, or moving with, the rollator with usage of the upper limbs or chest. The rollator will provide better stability, support and safety during walking.

The rollator can be used indoors and outdoors.

It is not intended for transport of goods and/or more people than the user.

It should only be used on surfaces where all wheels are touching the ground. Do not use the rollator on rocky, bumpy or sandy terrain, or places with a steep inclination. The rollator may become unstable. Look for flat, stable areas, and bevelled kerbs to walk with your rollator.

Please check all technical details and limits of your rollator in §7.

3.3 Safety instructions

Risk of injuries

Please read and follow the instructions in this manual. Otherwise you may get injured, or your rollator may get damaged.

• Check that no stones or other objects block the wheels of the rollator.
• Make sure that both brake levers are in parking mode before you use the rollator as aid to stand up. When you are standing comfortable and stable, you can unlock the parking brakes.
• While walking, keep both hands on the handgrips.
• Be aware that some parts of your rollator may get very hot or cold due to ambient temperature, solar radiation, heating devices, etc. Be careful when touching.
• Before every use, check that the height adjustments are firmly secured, see §4.
• Do not hold the handgrips with wet hands. If you do so, you can lose your grip and lose your balance.
• Do not proceed with your rollator into traffic. Always stay on the pavement.
• Take note of the instructions for care and service. The manufacturer is not liable for damage caused by improper servicing / care.
