Assembly & Height Adjustment (con't):
4. Set the correct height of the handle bars as as follows:
•
Stand behind the rollator with your shoulders relaxed and
your arms by your sides, looking straight ahead
•
In this position, the handgrips or the rollator should be
adjusted to the height level of your wrists. (see diagram 1)
•
This will position your arms with approximately 20º to 30º
bend when using the rollator
•
Check that the holes in the handle bars and the frame are
aligned.
•
Place supplied and bolts through the aligned holes in the
handlebar and frame then hand tighten firmly but do not
over tighten.
5. Check the brakes thoroughly before use. NOTE: The
brakes are factory set and if assembled correctly do
not need adjusting prior to use. To check; Apply and
release the parking brake on each side ten times (push
the brake lever down to lock, lift to release). The brake
should grip the wheel and prevent any movement when
applied. When released, the gap between the brake
moulding and the tire should be 3 to 4 mm. If either of
the above conditions is not correct, adjust the brakes
as described in the maintenance section and recheck.
6. Check all other nuts, bolts ans screws are tightened.
7. Check all the wheels are in good working order.

buttons are tightly fastened
