SAFETY SUMMARY
The following recommendations are made for the safe
replacement of the Rollator Canes and Brakes:
GENERAL WARNINGS
DO NOT install this kit without first reading
and understanding this instruction sheet.
If you are unable to understand the
Warnings, Cautions and Instructions, contact a healthcare professional, dealer or
technical personnel if applicable before
attempting to install this kit - otherwise,
injury or damage may occur.
A physical/occupational therapist should
assist in the placement and positioning of
the hand grips for maximum support and
correct brake activation. Be sure the
rollator is properly balanced BEFORE using.
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.
SAFETY SUMMARY (CONTINUED)
INSTALLATION WARNINGS

MODELS - The rollator height can ONLY be
adjusted where the push handle is textured
(FIGURE 4).
After installation and BEFORE use, ensure
that ALL attaching hardware is securely
tightened.
