SAFETY SUMMARY
The following recommendations are made for the safe use of the Rollators:
GENERAL WARNINGS
DO NOT install or use this equipment without first reading and understanding this instruction sheet. If you are unable to understand the Warnings, Cautions or Instructions, contact a healthcare professional, dealer or technical personnel before attempting to install this equipment - otherwise, injury or damage may occur.
Models 65700 and 65800 are NOT to be pushed while seated and/or used as a wheelchair.
Rollators are NOT intended to be self propelled while seated.
When using the transport feature of model 65900, an attendant MUST be present.
The transport feature of model 65900 is intended for use during periods of fatigue and/or resting. It is NOT intended as a replacement for a wheelchair. The transport feature may ONLY be used for short distances over smooth level surfaces - otherwise, injury or damage may occur.
DO NOT use the transport feature of model 65900 on a ramp or incline - otherwise, injury or damage may occur.
A physical/occupational therapist should assist in the placement and positioning of the push handles for maximum support and correct brake activation.
Care should be taken to ensure that ALL hand and height adjustments are secure, and that casters and moving objects are in good working order before using this or any mobility aid.
All wheels MUST be in contact with the floor at ALL TIMES during use. This will ensure the rollator is properly balanced.
The brakes MUST be in the locked position BEFORE using the seat.
Model 65700 only - Check crutch tips for rips, tears, cracks or wear. If any of these conditions exist, replace crutch tips immediately.
MODEL 65900 ONLY - DO NOT step or stand on the footrests when entering or exiting the rollator.
GENERAL WARNINGS CONTINUED
The Rollator basket has a weight limitation of 15 lbs. (6 kg.).
The Rollator can provide ambulatory assistance to an individual weighing up to 300 lbs. (136.08 kg) for model 65900, and 250 lbs. (113.4 kg) for models 65800 and 65700, INCLUDING the weight of the contents of the basket.
INSTALLATION WARNINGS
ALWAYS test to see that the rollator is properly and securely locked in the open position BEFORE using.
After installation and BEFORE use, ensure that ALL attaching hardware is securely tightened.
STABILITY WARNINGS
DO NOT attempt to reach objects if you have to move forward in the seat. Reaching for these objects will cause a change to the weight distribution of the rollator and may cause the rollator to tip, resulting in injury or damage.
BEFORE attempting to reach objects or pick them up from the floor by reaching down between your knees, place feet securely on the floor. Use EXTREME caution when reaching for any object.
