Adjusting / checking / 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 1 mm D. Tighten the nut A. Make
sure the brakes are not adjusted too tight and pressing into the rubber of the wheels when the parking brake is on.
Maintaining: Clean the brake block E and the brake spring F frequently. The wheels and brakes can be replaced
if they are worn or damaged.
Using the brakes 2
Make sure the brakes work before each trip. Each brake handle works on each of the rear wheels.
The walker wheels are made of a special soft rubber, which gives an optimal braking capacity on slippery floor.
Wrong use can cause unsafe situations and damage to the walker: The walker 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, impairing tires and brake quality.
Parking brakes: Push the brake handles forward A to activate the parking brakes. Be aware that the handle has some
resistance before it stops and locks the rear wheel. Pull the brake handles back to release the parking brakes.
Driving brakes: Pull the brake handles towards you B to reduce speed. Do not use continuously while the walker is in
motion.
Seat // Basket 7
The parking brakes must be on before using the seat A. Push both brake handles B forwards until they lock. Both rear
wheels are now locked. Sit with your back towards the basket C. The basket D can carry goods up to 5 kg. It can be
removed and washed gently at 40 °C.
Edge guard // Tilt function 8
Edge guard: The brake blocks A, which are in front of the rear wheels, prevent the rear wheels from catching on cor-
ners, 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 walker over thresholds, edges etc.
Carrying the walker 9
The walker must not be carried by the seat strap or the brake wires. Fold the walker together as shown on the illustra-
tion. Carry the walker by the folded seat bars A.
Transport
The walker should be transported in the folded and locked position (see paragraph Unfolding / Folding). Ensure that
the walker cannot unfold unintentionally. Be careful when loading the walker into a vehicle, giving attention to se-
curing of the item.
Storage
The walker should be stored in an upright position. It can be stored in- and outdoors, if stored outdoors then under
cover.
Material // Recycling
The walker is made of plastic-coated aluminium pipes, plastic couplings and material of plastic and polyester. Most
parts can be recycled. Dispose the walker and its packaging according to the applicable regulations in your country.
For information, please contact your public authorities.
Cleaning
The walker can be steamed, hosed and washed with normal household detergents. Do not use scrub detergents,
steam- or high-pressure cleaners.
Disinfection
Disinfection must only be carried out by authorized personnel and by wearing sufficient protective equipment.
The surface must be cleaned with a disinfectant containing 70–80% ethanol. We advise against disinfectant that con-
tains chlorine and phenol. The manufacturer cannot be held responsible for any damage or wounds that might occur by
the use of harmful disinfectant or disinfection carried out by unauthorized personnel.
