TOPRO OLYMPOS Manuel D'utilisation page 8

Important to know about safety in use
• When stationary or parked, always use the parking brakes on both sides A
• Before sitting on the seat, make sure the parking brakes on both sides are in locked position A
• Do not lean or bend sideways or over the back of the rollator whilst in the seated position.
• The driving brakes can be held in a little B to reduce speed, but must not be in locked position when the
rollator is in motion.
• To give the right support and a safety, make sure the rollator is kept as close to your body
as possible C
• Walk straight, look forward and hold your backside in D. That is the easiest way to keep your balance.
• Do not push the rollator too far from your body as this can cause unnecessary strain and you could fall.
• Be careful of flared skirts and trousers as they could get caught between the brake block and wheel,
which could lead to falling. We therefore recommend not wearing flared/wide clothing.
Assembling / adjusting
TOPRO OLYMPOS is delivered assembled. Before use, you must unfold the rollator. The height of the
handlebar tubes will then need adjusting to suit the user's needs.
Unfolding / folding
Unfolding: Loosen the lock clamp that is over the seat bars A. Press the seat bars down and out B. The
side frames will slide apart. Press down the seat bars. You will hear a clicking sound. The rollator is now
locked in its open position.
Folding: Pull the strap on the seat C and press the side frames together. Lock the clamp D over the seat
bars.
Lowering and height adjusting the handles
Lowering: Unscrew the lock wheel for the brake handles A (approx. 4-5 turns). Push the handlebar tubes
down until they stop B. Tighten the lock A again.
Height adjusting: Unscrew the lock for the brake handles A (approx. 4-5 turns). Adjust the handlebar tubes
to a suitable height then pull them slightly up and down C until you hear a clicking sound. Tighten the lock A
again. Adjust both handlebars to the same height.
It is recommended that the handlebars should be at the same height as your wrists when your arms
are hanging alongside your body.
Height adjustment using the memory function
You have the opportunity to set the height of the handles at a standard setting, fitting to your height, so that
you easily can find the height again. This can be necessary when the rollator is being transported or stored
as compact as possible. Decide the height of the handlebars. Count visible holes at the back of the
handlebar tubes. Unscrew the lock wheel A. Pull the tube B out of the frame. The attached part C will now
follow the handlebar tube. Move the attached part C on the tube B so the there are equal holes as counted
earlier. Fit the memory chip D on the handlebar tube in the first available hole under the attached part C.
Push the handlebar tube B down and into the side frame E until the attached part is locked. Screw the lock
wheel A half in. Pull the handlebars F up until they stop, then tighten the lock wheel A properly. From now
on, when the handlebars are in the lowest position, they will stop in the preset position automatically when
pulled up.
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 both brake blocks so the distance to the wheel surface is approximately 2 mm D. Make sure
the brakes are not adjusted too tight and pressing into the rubber when the parking brake is on.
Maintaining: Clean the brake blocks E and the brake spring F frequently. The wheels 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
