GENERAL INFORMATION
The following instructions are an integral part of the delivery of this rollator. The user should
have them readily available at all times. They must be kept with the rollator, should it be
transferred to another user.
The manufacturer reserves the right to make changes relative to the information provided in
these instructions as a result of technical developments and improvements.
This document may not be reprinted, translated and/or duplicated in any form whatsoever,
even in part, unless prior written consent from the manufacturer.
For updates on these instructions, please contact the manufacturer

SPECIFICATIONS AND INTENDED USE
(FOR INDOOR AND OUTDOOR USE)
The STELLA rollator is intended as a walking aid for people with reduced mobility who
weigh up to 300lb (136kg) for the standard model and 400lb (180kg) for
the heavy duty model.
To occasionally use this rollator as a transport chair, the optional footrests and armrests
must be installed.
The rollator should be used only on firm, flat surfaces. It is not intended to be used
for any other purpose such as a climbing aid or to carry heavy loads. Any such use can be
dangerous!

WARNINGS: READ CAREFULLY BEFORE USING!
Before sitting on the rollator, make sure the Stella is fully opened and the seat is
completely down.
Before sitting on the rollator, make sure the lumbar support is well positioned
horizontally to prevent falling backwards. Verify that both knobs are fully tightened at
same height.
Before sitting on the rollator, make sure the wheel locks are engaged. In transport chair
mode, before the user transfers into or out of the chair, the attendant must apply both
rear wheel locks and make sure that the front casters are in the forward position. If the
wheels rotate while locked, please take the rollator back to the dealer for adjustment.
When the brakes/locks are released, the wheels should rotate freely.
Do not lean to one side, always keep your weight balanced on the rollator. Leaning
forward, while using the Stella as a transport chair without proper assistance, can cause
tipping.
In rollator mode, before sitting, put your hands on the hand grips and back-up until your
legs touch the seat. In transport chair mode, before sitting, back-up until your legs touch
the storage bag and use armrests to lower yourself down.
When getting up from the rollator in transport chair mode, assistance
is ALWAYS required.
a. Attendant must apply wheel locks by pushing down on the brake handles.
b. First, remove feet from footrests and place them firmly on the ground.
c. Second, use armrests for support before attempting to stand up.
Do not hang bags or other items on hand grips – risk of tipping over!
Changing direction abruptly could make the rollator tip over.

- OWNER’S MANUAL
M O B I L I T Y
Use this rollator on hard, flat surfaces only. Avoid use on uneven terrain such as grass,
gravel and sand.
Do not use the rollator to go up or down escalators.
If excess weight is put onto the hand grips, the rollator could tip backwards.
When folding or unfolding the rollator, watch for possible pinch points.
When seated, the brakes should be applied.
Test the brake handles regularly to make sure the rollator brakes work properly.
Avoid exposing the rollator directly to the sun or extreme heat for an extended period of
time as this can cause the rollator’s parts to overheat and burn the user.
This rollator is not intended to be used as a seat or otherwise in a moving vehicle.
Do not lean foward while using as transport chair.
NOTE: You and your attendant should consult a qualified professional for
the correct techniques on ramp negotiations.
WEIGHT CAPACITY: 300 LBS for the standard model and 400 LBS for the
heavy duty model.
IF YOUR ROLLATOR BECOMES DEFECTIVE:

lubricant on any parts of the rollator.
Reassigning to a new user
If you pass along your rollator to a new user, please remember to hand over all the
technical documentation needed to ensure safe operation. In accordance with instructions,
