3 USAGE

3.1 Using the Rollator

We do not recommend that the rollator is issued to anyone without
first carrying out a full assessment of their specific needs. It is important
that the user is given the necessary support by the rollator as pre-
scribed by a qualified professional. This is both for the safety of the user
and also their recovery pattern.

3.2 Operating Position

Release the rollator by pulling the push handles outwards. Press on the
seat in order to lock the rollator in operating position.
WARNING
Always make sure that the lock is engaged before using the
rollator.

3.3 Walking

Place the rollator a bit in front of you and take a step towards it whilst
using the hand grips for support.

3.4 Sitting Down

Stand in front of the chair with the rollator, the
back of the legs should touch the chair. Place
the hands on the arms of the chair, lean forward
slightly and sit down carefully.

3.5 Rise to a Standing Position

Place the rollator in front of you, use the arm-
rests of the chair as support and rise carefully
to a standing position. Once steady in a standing
position, transfer hands to the hand grips of the
rollator.
WARNING
Never use the rollator to pull yourself up from a sitting posi-
tion due to the tipping risk!
