Negotiating kerbs
CAUTION
Take kerbs straight, with both front wheels
aligned to the kerb. Keep the rollator
nearby.
To make it easier to take small obstacles,
such as kerbs, the rollator is equipped with a
tipping aid on the two rear wheels.
1. Make sure you are standing stable while
holding both handgrips.
2. Use one foot and push on tipping lever (14)
to lift the front wheels.
3. Keep the rollator in that position with the
handgrips and move slowly forward until
the front wheels are on the kerb.
4. Now lift the handgrips
and move forward to
place the rear wheels
on the kerb.
5. When the rollator is
standing stable, you
can take the kerb
yourself.

Sitting down, standing up
and walking

Make sure that both brake levers are in
parking position before sitting down, see
§5.1. Keep the brake levers in this position
until you start walking again. Keep your
feet between the rear wheels.
1. Push both brake levers down to parking
position.
2. While leaning on the handgrips, turn
around and sit down on the seat.
3. To stand up again, lean on the handgrips
and turn around.
4. Pull both brake levers up and use the
running brakes.
5. Release the brake levers and step forward

6.3 Inspection / Service / Repairs
The expected service life of your rollator is 5
years. The lifespan is influenced by use,
storage, maintenance, service and cleaning.
Before you resume use of the rollator, it
should be inspected on the following points:
• Completeness.
• Folding mechanism: functioning well.
• Bolts and nuts: tightly fastened.
• Brakes: functioning well.
• Wheels (stability, tracking, fixing screws).
In case of regular contact with wires, hair
or other residues, the wheels may get
blocked. Check regularly that the wheels
rotate freely and that they are in good
condition.
• Frame
(deformation,
connections).
• Handgrips
(safe
adjustment system, good support of
handgrips).
• Seat (wear or damage).
Your rollator is constructed of aluminium and
plastic components. We recommend to have
your rollator inspected at least once a year,
but the service frequency depends on the
frequency and intensity of use. Consult your
specialist dealer to make an agreement on
service frequency.
Repairs and replacements may only be
undertaken by trained persons, and only
genuine replacement parts of Vermeiren
should be used. Do not hesitate to use the
services offered by your specialist dealer.
