E. Brakes
The brake handle can be used in two different ways
- as a driving brake or as a parking brake.
Driving brake (1.):
when pushing the TOPRO Troja 2G. To apply the driving brake, simply
1.
pull the brake handles up. The brakes are applied instantly. Release
the handles, and the TOPRO Troja 2G is once again ready to move
forward. To prevent damaging the wheels, the brakes should not be
applied continuously while walking.
Parking brake (2.):
is parked for a short or long period, i.e. when you want to take a break
from walking and sit on the seat. It is vital to apply the parking brake in
this situation! To apply the parking brake, push the brake handles
down towards the frame. To release, simply pull them back up.

H. TOPRO Ergo Grip
Comfortable support when rising, standing or walking
TOPRO Ergo Grip offers new ergonomical grip and support surfaces.
It combines the original hand grip position of the TOPRO Troja models (1.)
with a hand grip (2.) at the front of the handle. This gives you a better
holding position when getting up from a chair or couch (3.). Always
make sure the parking brake is locked in when you do this (4.). The
new hand grip also offers extra support while standing (5.).
Several options of support makes it easy to vary your position when
standing, thereby increasing your comfort.
When pushing the rollator your hands should always be kept in the
original grip position (1.) in order to make the brakes accessible.

When you want to relax for a while, you can sit comfortably on the
seat of TOPRO Troja 2G. Make sure to apply the parking brakes (1.),
to stop the rollator from moving! Always sit down with your back turned
towards the shopping basket (2.)!
For your own safety, do not bend backwards or lean over to the sides
when sitting on the rollator (3.).
A back support is available as an accessory to provide additional
comfort when sitting on the rollator.
J. Edge guard
Safety while walking
The edge guard (1.) on the rear wheel prevents the rollator from catching
onto protruding edges, door frames etc. It allows you to manoeuvre
safely past such obstacles.
