SAFETY SUMMARY

To ensure the safe operation of the Alpine Forearm Rollator, these

instructions MUST be followed:

General warning

• DO NOT install or use this equipment without rst reading and understanding

• the instructions. 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.

• User should always consult with their physician or therapist to determine

proper adjustment and usage.

• This equipment is NOT intended to be self-propelled while seated.

• A physical/occupational therapist should assist in the height adjustment of

the rollator for maximum support and correct brake activation, the xture of

the screw and the position of the quick release/assembly kits.

• Always ensure screws are fastened to the connector, so that the connector

can’t move when forced. Ensure the correct position of the quick release/

assembly kits, and they will not fall even with opposite force. Ensure all snap

buttons fully protrude through adjustment holes. Ensure the braking system

is eective when brake handle is locked or released.

• Care should be taken to ensure that ALL handles, height adjustment locks,

wheels, brakes or any other functional or moving parts are in good working

order before operation.

• All wheels MUST be in contact with the oor at ALL TIMES during use. This will

ensure the upright rollator is properly balanced. The brakes MUST be in the

locked position BEFORE using the seat.

General warning

• When using the rollator in a stationary position, the hand brakes MUST be locked.

• DO NOT put your full weight on the linkage component nor use it as a handle

to carry the Walker. It is designed only for the purpose of connecting the two

armrest supports, neither for supporting the user nor carrying the Walker.

• DO NOT go up or down inclines greater than 15% or diagonally across inclines

greater than 5% when using as a traditional upright rollator with armrest

locked in horizontal position.

• DO NOT ride the rollator with all your weight on the armrests or lean

disproportionately on one of the armrests.

FAILURE TO FOLLOW THESE WARNINGS CAN LEAD TO INJURY.

Stability warning

• The Rollator can provide ambulatory assistance to an individual weighing up

to 300 lbs. (136kg), INCLUDING the weight of the contents in the bag.

• The Rollator bag has a weight limitation of 10 lbs. (4.5kg)

Folding or assembling warnings

• After unfolding or assembling rollator, make sure the seat tubing is securely

locked at both side slots, and the quick release/assembly kits are in their

correct position. All screws must be tightly locked without movement.

• DO NOT hang an additional weight on either side of the frame. This may cause

the rollator unbalanced when it is fully unfolded, resulting in injury or damage.

Installation warning

• Periodically check the rollator and attachments are properly and securely

locked in place BEFORE using.
