By making any changes to the heavy duty rollator, that impact the general
structure of the product, warranty is voided.
•Safety regulations
OasisSpace cannot be held responsible for any injury to the user or damage to
property, caused by improper use of the rollator, or use not in accordance with the
recommendations and warnings in this user manual. The OasisSpace is, if used in
accordance with the regulations in this manual, a very safe and stable product.

General safety regulations
Protect your rollator by checking it regularly. When a part of your OasisSpace
rollator does not function correctly anymore, dangerous situations may occur. You
need to keep your rollator in good condition to ensure safety. Periodical checks,
correct adjustment of your rollator and timely replacement of worn or broken parts
will result in years of satisfactory use.
•Warnings and instructions for safe use
To prevent damage to your property, the rollator, or injury to the user, you must
read the following warnings. OasisSpace cannot be held accountable if these
warnings and regulations are not followed. By reading these warnings, you agree
to the terms mentioned in this user manual.
•Do not use the rollator on roads strictly meant for motor vehicles. If possible,
only use the rollator on pavements or rollator-user friendly roads.
•Do not use the rollator on loose sand, rough terrain, or wet and slippery surfaces
with little traction.
•Do not drive the rollator onto the edges of curbs.
•Never attach anything to the wheels.
•Engage the parking brake when putting the rollator in an elevator or on an
escalator.
•The maximum user weight is 204 kg. This is also indicated on the frame label.
•The shopping bag can carry a maximum weight of 5 kg. Never use the
rollator to transport persons or heavy goods.
Always check if the brakes are functioning correctly before using the rollator. Squeeze
both brake levers
and try to roll the rollator forward. If the rear wheels do not rotate anymore but instead
drag on the floor surface, it is because the rear wheels are locked in place, which
means the breaks are functioning correctly. Do not use the rollator when the brakes do
not function properly.
Check if the push handles are installed and adjusted correctly.
When braking, always use both brakes. This goes for both parking brake and driving
brake.
•When stopping or parking the rollator, always use the parking brake. Make sure
both parking brakes are engaged before sitting down on the rollator.
•To prevent incorrect posture, make sure that the adjustments have been set to the
correct settings for the user (see figure 3b and paragraph 4.1.1.)
•When unfolding the rollator, make sure the locking mechanism on the frame has
clicked into place (see figure 3c and 3d).
•Pay attention to any garments or bodyparts as to not let them get caught between
moving parts when folding or unfolding the rollator. Very long or loose pieces of
clothing could also get caught between the wheels of the rollator, which could lead to
dangerous situations. We strongly disadvise to wear such clothing when using the
rollator.
•Do not use the rollator to transport heavy goods or people.
•Make sure your (grand) children know that the heavy dutyis not a toy, and to never
use it as such.
•Never move the rollator while using the seat.
•It is not permitted to ‘plop down’ onto the rollator when taking a seat.
•For your own safety, do not bend or reach forward, backward or sideways while
seated on the rollator.
•All four wheels of the rollator should be in contact with the ground during use, to
provide the best support and balance. Engage the parking brake before taking a seat
on the rollator.
•If the rollator is exposed to extreme temperatures, parts of the rollator may be very
hot or very cold to the touch.
•User instructions
It is very important to learn the correct and safest way to use your rollator.
Therefore study these user instructions thoroughly and get to know all of the
functions and parts of the product. Always consult a professional for developing
the safest and most correct user methods to fit your physical needs.
•
Balance
Daily actions like walking with and sitting on the rollator, affect the balance of the
rollator. This has to do with weight distribution and the change in center of gravity.
To avoid the rollator tipping over, or other dangerous situations, you should follow
the guidelines described below.
In this user manual we describe the guidelines that need to be followed when you
are able to use the rollator without help. When you can not do this alone anymore,
we recommend you stop using the rollator to avoid accidents.
•Using the seat
When taking a seat on the rollator, after an intense walk for example, it is important to
always engage the parking brake. This way you prevent the rollator from moving or
rolling away, and you can sit down safely.
•Ascending an obstacle
When ascending an obstacle independently, always do so in a straight line and
backwards onto the obstacle, so two rear wheels at a time, not at an angle. Stand
on the obstacle, with the rollator in front of you, on the lower
surface. Next, lift upwards on the push handles to lift the rear wheels up from the
ground. Pull the rollator towards yourself and place the rear wheels on the obstacle.
Carefully take a step backwards and roll the rollator further backwards onto the
obstacle.
The next step is to carefully place the front wheels of the rollator onto the obstacle,
push the rollator forwards, lifting the rear wheels of the rollator if neccessary, following
it yourself. See figures 4h and 4i. This is the correct way of ascending obstacles. When
ascending an obstacle, make sure there are no objects on the seat.
•Descending an obstacle
When ascending an obstacle independently, always do so in a straight line
downwards from the obstacle, so two wheels at a time, not at an angle. By first driving
the front wheels onto the lower part and braking slightly, you can safely follow the
rollator and descend the obstacle. When both you and your rollator have fully
descended from the obstacle, you can release the brake and continue walking with
your rollator.
•
Ascending and descending inclines
You may encounter a situation where you have to ascend or descend an incline
with your rollator. When this happens, we advise you to always do so in a straight
line, never at an angle.
•
Ascending an incline
When ascending an incline independently, we advise to lean forward slightly. When
doing this, the centre of gravity moves forward, making it easier to ascend the
incline. It is important not to carry any extra weight, like bags and other objects on
your rollator. This could increase the risk of a fall. (See figure 4l).
Fig. 4l
Always try to ascend the incline in a straight line. Ascending diagonally increases
the risk of a fall.
•Descending an incline
When descending an incline, always do so in a straight line downwards. Never lean
forward when descending an incline. This could lead to you or your rollator falling
over. To increase stability, it is better to lean backwards slightly. Should you have to
stop on your way down, always engage the parking brake of the rollator. To stay
in control of your rollator it is important to not descend too quickly. You can
regulate your speed by braking slightly whenever neccessary.

Folding and unfolding the rollator
To fold or unfold the rollator, there are a few steps you should follow. When
folding and unfolding the rollator, always take care not to damage your rollator.
•Folding the rollator
To fold the rollator, follow the steps below.
Before you can fold the rollator, you need to stand behind the rollator and flip up
the seat, see photo 1;
You will now see a black bar just above the back of the frame (photo 2).
Lift this bar and pull upwards, like demonstrated in photo 3. This way
the rollator will begin to fold;
By adjusting the push handles to the lowest height, and adjusting the rear and
front wheels to the shortest length, the rollator becomes very compact, see
photo 4.

heavy duty rollator is removable. You can remove the backrest by following the

‘open’ position, see photo 6;
2) You can now slide the backrest upwards, as demonstrated on photo 7;
3) This will release that end of the backrest from the frame (photo 8);
