1. To unfold the rollator, simply pull the
handles outwards.
2. Push downwards on the outer rails
of the seat in one swift motion, until
you hear a significant click from the
locking mechanism.
3. If you are in doubt whether the
folding mechanism is correctly
locked e.g. in a noisy environment,
please check that the locking hook
under the seat is properly locked
into place.
Unfolding
1. Lift the seat by the cut-out in
the centre to release the locking
mechanism.
2. To ensure that the rollator is
completely folded, push the handles
toward each other.

Height adjustment of the handles
Due to ergonomically as well as safety
reasons it is important that the height
of the handles are adjusted correctly.
The correct adjustment of the handles
is very individual.
A rule of thumb is that the handles
should be level with your wrist when
standing in an upright position.
If you are in doubt, consult your
physical therapist, occupational
therapist or another specialist.
1. Press on the height adjustment
button on the frame with one hand
while pulling the handle with the
other.
2. Adjust the handle to the desired
height and release the height
adjustment button.
3. Check that the handle is locked in a
secure position by moving it up and
down and the height adjustment
button is in the locked position.
Use of the Carbon Ultralight
Carbon Ultralight is equipped with two
independent brakes acting on the rear
wheels.
1. Pull the brake levers upwards to
activate the brake. The lever moves
back to the neutral position when the
brake lever is released.
2. The parking brake is activated by
pressing the brake lever down until
you hear a click sound. Release the
parking brake by pulling the brake
lever back to the neutral position.
Adjustment of the brakes
The brake should be adjusted if the
brake force applied to the wheel
is insufficient (this can occur if the
tyres are worn) or the parking brake
is difficult to activate (which is most
often seen after replacement of a worn
down tire). Always set the handle to
the desired height before the brake is
adjusted as the positon may cause a
little variation of the brake adjustment.
1. Adjust the brake with a 2mm Allen
wrench.
Insert the Allen wrench into the
adjustment screw through the hole in
the front of the brake unit.
2. The brake is tightened by turning the
adjustment screw clockwise (viewed
from the front) and loosened by
turning the adjustment screw
counter-clockwise (viewed from the
front).
Always engage both parking brakes when you sit on the seat.
Under normal circumstances both brakes should be activated
simultaneously.
Be aware that when only one brake is activated, Carbon Ultralight will turn to
the same side as the engaged brake.
Do not store with the parking brake activated as prolonged activation of
the parking brake can leave visible marks on the wheel and decrease the
braking performance.
Kerb lifter
Even though Carbon Ultralight is the
world’s lightest walker and therefore
is easier to lift, it is equipped with a
kerb lifter that makes it easier to get
over smaller obstacles like kerbs and
low steps. This is particularly helpful
if heavy objects are transported in a
front-mounted basket or bag.
1. Carefully press on the kerb lifter with
a foot.
2. Pull sligthely by the handles to lift the
front wheels off the ground.
Be aware that the stability of
Carbon Ultralight changes when it
is reclined.
Be cautious and try to bypass
rather than climb high obstacles.
