MANDATORY! Do not operate your new rollator walker for the first time without
completely reading and understanding this owner’s manual.
Your rollator walker is designed for use as a walking aid meant to assist users while walking. If a
large amount of force is placed on the rollator walker even when the brakes are locked in
position, the rollator may move. Always exercise caution when using. Zip’r Mobility provides an
extensive array of products to best fit the individual needs of users. Please be aware that the
final selection and purchasing decision regarding the type of rollator walker to be used is the
responsibility of the rollator walker user who is capable of making such a decision and his/her
healthcare professional (i.e., medical doctor, physical therapist, etc.)
The contents of this manual are based on the expectation that a mobility device expert has
properly fitted the rollator walker to the user and has assisted the prescribing healthcare
professional and/or the authorized provider in the instruction process for the use of the product.
There may be certain situations, including some medical conditions, where the rollator walker
user will need to practice operating the rollator walker in the presence of a trained attendant. A
trained attendant can be defined as a family member or care professional specially trained in
assisting a rollator walker user in various daily living activities.
As you begin using your rollator walker during daily activities, you will probably encounter
situations which you will need some practice. Simply take your time and you will soon be in
confident control as you maneuver through doorways, on and off elevators, up and down ramps.
Operating techniques used in this manual should only be used as a “basic” guide, as each
Rambler user is solely responsible for individual safety and the safety of others when using a
Zip’r Rambler Walker.
Provided below are some precautions, tips, and other safety considerations that will help you
become accustomed to operating the rollator walker safely.
WARNING! Do not use a strong corrosive cleaner on the products surface!
WARNING! Do not leave your rollator walker outside in rainy conditions!
MANDATORY! Prior to sitting down on the seat, lock both brakes to prevent the
rollator from sliding!
MANDATORY! Do not hang any weighted items on any part of the frame as it may
cause the rollator to become unstable!
PRE-RIDE SAFETY CHECK:
Get to know the feel of your rollator walker and its capabilities. We recommend that you perform
a safety check before each use to make sure your rollator walker operates smoothly and safely.
Perform the following inspections prior to using your rollator walker:
• Check to ensure that the rollator walker is fully unfolded with the frame securely locked
into position.
• Check to ensure that the castor wheels are secured.
• Check the brakes to ensure they operate properly.
• Check the condition of the tires. Make sure they are not damaged or excessively worn.
