be used by patients who have limited balance
capability and considerably impaired ability to walk.
The grip bow is height-adjustable to match the
user’s size.
The Rollator must not be used by patients who
have disorders with perception, extremely limited
balance capability, loss of or limited use of joints in
both arms and who have difficulties sitting down.
The Rollator can be used inside and outside and may be
used only on solid, even surfaces. Never transport
heavy objects with the Rollator.
The maximum allowable user weight of
the Rollator Polo-Plus-T is 120 kg.
1.3 Equipment advisories
3. Spare parts orders, complaints
To exclude incorrect spare parts deliveries and to
ensure rapid processing of complaints, always
provide the product name, serial number (SN) and
the product’s year of manufacture. You can find
this information on the Rollator’s nameplate or on
the front cover of this User Instructions booklet.
4. Re-use, lifetime
The Rollator Polo-Plus-T
is suitable for re-use.
The re-use (lifetime) depends on the product’s
condition. Before re-use, maintenance of the
Rollator must be conducted and the applicable
instructions concerning safety care and
maintenance must be fully adhered to.
The expected lifetime of the Rollator can be up to
3 years when used properly and the safety
instructions, maintenance intervals and care
instructions are followed.
Beyond this time period, the Rollator can be used
further if it is still in a safe condition (after a
complete inspection).
The Rollator consists of a powder-paint coated
frame and a height-adjustable grip bow. The 4
wheels consist of four tyres and plain bearings.
The front wheels may be swivelled 360 degrees
and the rear wheels are fixed.
A plastic seat serves for sitting (resting) and can
be folded as a tablet. Hand brake levers with
braking function are mounted on the grip handle on
both the right and left sides. By activating the
brake lever, the permanent locking or rolling brake
can be activated.
The grip bow is completely rubber-coated in the
area of the hand-grips. The Rollator is foldable for
allowing easy transport. A pouch is attached to the
frame. At the front of the frame is a removable bag
attached with Velcro.
2. Warranty
There is a 2-year warranty on our Polo-Plus-T
Rollator. A prerequisite for the warranty is use in
accordance to the requirements outlined herein, as
well as conducting regular maintenance. Excluded
are all wear parts (e.g.: brake pads, brake cable,
wheel, hand lever, seat board, bag).
Not observing the User Instructions, improper
maintenance and unauthorised modifications done
to the product without the manufacturer’s
permission automatically lead to the immediate
nullification of warranty and product liability (see
Maintenance).
The delivery date written on the REBOTECdelivery note applies as the valid start date of
the warranty period.
5. Disposal
The Rollator consists of aluminium tubing, metal,
and plastic which are all recyclable. Products that
can no longer be used are to be disposed of
separately from regular household rubbish. This
must be done according to the local and national
regulations for environmental protection and raw
material recycling. Please contact your local
disposal company or officials for further
information.

7. Safety advisories for use
A Rollator is a technical aid, and the user must
abide by the following safety advisories and
rules:
Danger of falling!
Before each use, check for the proper function of
the brakes and the overall stability of the
Rollator.
Be sure that the brakes are first set at the
permanent locking position before using the
Rollator. Release the brakes first only when you
are secure on your feet.
Before starting to walk, check the locking
mechanism for unintended folding of the frame.
First begin by walking and push the Rollator
while standing upright with both hands gripping
the grip handles
Check to be sure that the star-handles on the
grip bow are tightened.
Always walk inside of the Rollator and do not
push the Rollator too far in front of you in order
to avoid incorrect loading and increased risk of
falling down.
Sitting down and standing up by a patient must
be monitored according to the health condition of
the patient, and if necessary, must be assisted
by a trained care-worker.
Use of the Rollator by users who do not have
complete physical control and normal movement
must not be done unsupervised.
Push the Rollator according to your physical
capability. If feeling tired while walking, then stop
and rest on the seat. Sitting on the seat must be
done only when the brakes are in the
permanently locked position!
Danger of slipping!
Do not attempt to grab the grip handles with wet
hands as you may lose your grip and slip.
When sitting down on the seat, do not sit only on
the front edge. Sit on the entire seat. Before
sitting down, set the brakes in the permanently
locked position!
Do not hang any objects on the Rollator and do
not bend too far forwards over the grip bow as
there is a danger of tipping over.
Caution! Danger of breakage!
The Rollator is not a transportation device for
heavy objects. Adhere to the maximum allowable
user body weight (see the nameplate on the
Rollator).
Don’t stand on the Rollator or use it for
transporting persons.
Danger of pinching!
There is an increased risk of pinching limbs and
fingers at all joints and hinges on the Rollator. Be
extra careful of possible pinching of body parts
or objects when folding and unfolding the
Rollator.
Danger of injury!
At surface temperatures over 40°C (104°F),
there’s a risk of injury. Therefore do not expose
the Rollator to any source of heat (exposure to
the sun, storing near a heater, cleaning with hot
water) just before the Rollator is used. Before
using the Rollator, allow it to cool down.
8. Scope of delivery
The product has been carefully inspected in the
factory for freedom of defects and for
completeness. After having received it, carefully
check over the product for possible transport
damages and for completeness.

9. Spare parts
Danger of tipping over!
When using the Rollator outside, use it only on
even, solid paths and avoid high curbs and
steps. If possible, look for areas with low curbs
or have someone assist you in overcoming
obstacles.
Avoid using the Rollator on cobblestone surfaces
or similar irregular surfaces. Avoid paths with
steep grades, both going up or down, as you
may lose control of the moving Rollator.
Do not use the Rollator on any steps or stairs.
* Brake cable length must be matched to the grip frame.
** Always replace the brake pads in pairs.

10. Setting up for use
The product is delivered partially pre-assembled in
the carton. The following assembly instructions
must be carried out before first-time use:
Set-up and adjustment must be done by an
authorised dealer!
1. The Rollator is delivered folded up for transport
reasons. Place the Rollator on its wheels and
push the wheels apart by pressing the rear
wheel frame downwards.
2. Check to be sure the Rollator is completely
unfolded and that the folding lock is secured.
Be sure the pouch is securely mounted.
11. Using the Rollator
When using the Rollator the following points
must be adhered to:
Before use, it must be assured that the Rollator is
in a proper condition for safe use.
If defects or malfunctions are detected, then the
Rollator must not be used. In this case the defect
or malfunction must be removed by a qualified
serviceman.
11.1 Getting the Rollator ready for use
The Rollator must be unfolded and the locking pins
must click into position. Check to be sure that the
brake units are in good condition and functioning
properly (see: 11.4).
11.2 Sitting down and standing up
Before sitting down on the seat and standing up, it
must be assured that the Rollator is secured
against rolling away or tipping over. Activate the
brakes on both sides.
Sitting down
Stand as closely as possible to the seat. While
supporting yourself on the grip frame, sit down
slowly on the seat.
Be sure that you sit down on the entire seat and
not just on the edge in order to avoid slipping
away.
3. The height of the grip handles must match the
user’s height. Loosen both star grip screws (A)
and pull them out. Adjust the grip handles (B)
to the desired height. Line up the holes and
then tighten together with the star screws.
4. Check to be sure the hand-brakes function
properly (see: 11.4).
5. Check to be sure that the brake cables are not
kinked or damaged.
6. Check to be sure that the seat easily folds over
and back.
Standing up
Before standing up, be sure that both feet are
firmly on the floor.
With both arms placed on the grip frame, get up
carefully from the seat.
Do not lean too far forward in order to avoid falling
down.
If sitting down and getting up are not possible
alone, then have someone assist you.
11.3 Pushing the Rollator
While walking, support yourself up front in the
area of the grip-frame.
Always walk in the interior area of the Rollator
and do not push it too far in front of you. You can
expand the inner area by folding the seat over.
Do not bend over too far beyond the grip frame.
When using the Rollator outside, use it only on
solid even surfaces and paths. Avoid high curbs,
if possible.
When using the Rollator inside, do not roll it
against door sills and thresholds, and watch out
for loose or slippery floor coverings.
While walking, do not have the permanent
locking brake engaged or continuously apply the
brakes. When pushing the Rollator, both brakes
must be disengaged.

11.4 Hand brakes
The improper use of brakes can lead to
unsafe situations and damage (increased
wear, functional limitations).
The Rollator must not be rolled when the
brakes are applied or when the wheels are
blocked by the permanent brakes.
Permanent locking brakes (H)
Push both brake levers downwards until they click
into position. Both rear wheels are now braked. To
disengage the brakes, pull the brake levers back
up.
Rolling brakes (G)
By pulling both (left and right) brake levers
upwards, both rear wheels are braked. When
releasing the levers, the brakes are then
disengaged and the rear wheels are free to roll.
11.7 Adjusting and tightening the brakes
If the braking effect diminishes over time, then the
Rollator may not be used and it must be repaired
or adjusted by a qualified serviceman. It is decided
whether an adjustment is enough, or if parts need
to be replaced, by conducting a visual inspection.
Loosen lock nut (X) and then adjust the brake with
the adjustment screw (Y). Be sure that the
released brake allows the wheel to turn
unhindered, and that the wheel is locked when the
brake is pulled. Then re-tighten the lock nut.
11.5 Folding the Rollator
Unfolding
Place the Rollator down on its wheels and press
the frame downwards. The folding lock mechanism
(locking pins) must click fully into position.
Folding up
Flip the seat over and pull the red pull-cord with
one hand until the locking mechanism is released.
Using the other hand, lift the tube frame towards
you.
12. Trouble-shooting
13. Care
In general the Rollator can be cleaned
using a mild conventional cleaning and
disinfecting agent. Then simply wipe the
Rollator with clean water and cloth, and
then wipe dry with a clean cloth.
Do not use an abrasive scouring agent or cleaner
(read the product instructions!) that contain
aggressive solvents (acids, thinners, etc.). Do not
use stiff cleaning brushes, as these will damage
the plastic surfaces or cause deposits to build up
on the plastic parts and other materials.
