6.3 Adjusting the Brake Force
(1) Remove the center cap with the CONPAL unit still installed on the rollator. (Figure 9)
(2) Turn the CONPAL unit, and align the adjustment window and the adjuster. (Figure 10)
(3) Insert the provided hexagonal wrench into the hexagonal hole of the adjuster.
(4) Adjust the brake force by turning the hexagonal wrench and setting the arrow of the adjuster to the desired
position. (Figure 10)
For the respective adjustment positions for low, medium, and high brake forces, see Figures 11-13.
(5) Once adjustment is completed, remove the hexagonal wrench and install the center cap.
(6) Check that the same level of brake force are applied on the left and right sides.
WARNING
• Do not insert fingers into the adjustment window. Doing so can result in injury.
• After adjustment is completed, be sure to re-install the center cap. Failure to do so can cause dust or
water to enter the interior, resulting in malfunction.
• The distributor or physical therapist must adjust the brake force according to the user’s physical activity
level. The brake force not matching the user’s physical activity level can cause unexpected falling.
CAUTION
• Remove the center cap by using a coin or slotted screwdriver.
Do not use your nails as tools. Doing so can result in injury.
• There are three adjustment levels. Rotating the adjuster excessively damages the adjuster. Caution is required.
• Do not turn the CANPAL unit with the hexagonal wrench inserted. Doing so can result in damage to the adjuster.
• Set the left and right brake force to the same level. Uneven brake force can cause unexpected falling.

CAUTION
• The adjustment mechanism could be damaged if you turn the hexagonal wrench with an excessive
torque beyond the adjustment range.
Therefore, the hexagonal wrench is bent intentionally so that only the longer leg can be inserted.
• When using your own hexagonal wrench, insert its longer leg into the hole of the adjuster and turn
it to adjust the brake force within the allowable range.
