4.6. Wheels and tyres

Your rollator is equipped with flat-proof PU wheels 190 x 43 mm.
in front and 175 x 43 mm in back.
The wheels can be removed individually. That can be useful, e.g. if you
want to transport the rollator in a car. This makes it easier to stow the
rollator.
10
Press the pushbutton in order to remove the wheels (Fig. 10 and Fig.
11). This releases the lock, and you can pull the wheel off without
difficulty.

4.7. Tipping Aid

The tipping aid is intended to make it easier for users to overcome
curbs and small obstacles.
11
Step on the tipping aid with your foot (Fig. 12) and at the same time
pull on the push handles. The front wheels lift slightly off the ground
and with a little force you can push the rollator slightly past the
obstacle.

5. Use

Walking
12
Make your first attempts to walk with the rollator on a level, firm
surface. Familiarise yourself with the function of the brakes. Let
someone accompany you during this initial period.
32
For an anatomically correct gait, the push handles must be set at
proper height (see sec. 4.4.).
• Place yourself in the rollator so that your ankles are at the height of
the rear wheels.
• Stand with good posture.
• Grasp the push handles with both hands and your arms bent at a
slight angle.
When walking with the rollator try to stay as close as possible with
the body to the push handles. This increases the stability and safety
against tipping over; in addition, avoid a crooked back. Try to generally
walk in the rollator and not behind it. Take small steps and do not push
the rollator too far ahead.
You can determine the change of direction and speed by pushing
the rollator. Always use the brakes to slow down your movement. The
rollator could otherwise turn with the unbraked wheel and the braked
wheel, and could fall over.
Go around obstacles whenever possible. Try to use ramps or take lifts. If
this is not possible, the rollator must be carried over the obstacle. Find
a second person to help you do this, if possible.
The seat
The rollator is also designed to be used as a seat by the user for short
breaks. It is therefore equipped with a seating area and a back support.
You must absolutely activate the locking brakes before sitting down.
The rollator could roll away and you could fall.

Lifting points

You can lift the rollator on the grips or frame sections, in order to carry
it over obstacles or steps.
