Adjusting, checking and maintaining the brakes
Adjusting / checking: Loosen the nut A beside the brake. Tighten the brake wire B with the adjustment screw C
Adjust the brake block D as close as possible to the inner drum brake, and then tighten the nut A. Turn the wheel
around to check that the brake block is not touching the wheel. Maintaining: Clean the brake block D and the
brake spring E frequently. The wheels and brakes can be changed if they are worn out or damaged.
Using the brakes
Make sure the brakes work before each trip. Each brake handle A works on each of the rear wheels.
Wrong use can cause unsafe situations and damage to the rollator: The rollator must not be driven or pushed
with force when the parking brakes are on or when the wheels are partly locked using the brakes. This
indicates incorrect use and can cause wear and tear, which makes the tires, and brake quality weaker. Parking
brakes: Push both brake handles A down until they lock. Both rear wheels are now locked. Squeeze both brakes
handles upwards to release the parking brakes. Driving brakes: Pull both brake handles B upwards to reduce
speed. Do not use continuously while the rollator is in motion.
Seat
The parking brakes must be on before using the seat. Push both brake handles downwards until they lock A.
Both rear wheels are now locked. Sit with your back towards the basket B. The maximum user weight is 150 kg.
Shopping bag
The shopping bag is enclosed. It holds up to 15 kilos and is easily attached or removed. To mount the basket,
stand between the handles of your rollator and apply the parking brake A. Then lift the basket forwards in order
to slide it underneath the seat and onto the front and the carrying handles B.
When it is placed correctly, you will hear a click. Make sure that the brake wire still runs unrestrained along the
frame C. To remove the basket, stand between the handlebars and apply the parking brake. Place your hands
towards the front of the basket, one either side. Lift the basket up while pressing it slightly together. This will
release it. Always use both hands when performing this operation D.
The bag can be washed at 40º C.
Edge guard // Tilt function
Edge guard: The edge guards A, which are in front of the rear wheels prevent the rear wheels from catching on
corners, door frames etc.
Tilt function: To use the tilt function use the front of the foot and press down on the tilt pedal B, which is beside
the rear wheel. This helps to tilt the rollator over thresholds, edges etc. Please note: Take care when descending
kerbs. Do not use the rollator in stairs.
Carrying the rollator
The rollator must not be carried by the seat strap or the brake wires. Fold the rollator together as shown on the
illustration. Carry the rollator by the folded seat bars A.
Transport
The rollator should be transported in the folded and locked position (see paragraph Unfolding / Folding). Ensure
that the rollator cannot unfold unintentionally. Be careful when loading the rollator into a vehicle, giving attention
to securing of the item.
Storage
The rollator should be stored in an upright position. If stored outside then under cover.
Material // Recycling
The rollator is made of plastic coated aluminium pipes, plastic couplings and material of plastic and polyester.
Most parts can be recycled. Dispose the rollator according to the applicable regulations in your country. For
information, please contact your public authorities.
Cleaning
The rollator can be steamed, hosed and washed with normal household detergents. Do not use scrub detergents,
steam- or high-pressure cleaners.
