Caution: After making any adjustments to the

not use the rollator. Contact your dealer or NRS
Customer services, details below.
Cleaning Instructions
Clean regularly, wipe down with a soft, non
abrasive cloth.
Ensure there is no build up of dirt or debris around
the axle, brakes and wheels.
Using the 3 Wheel Rollator
Opening:
Fold out the Rollator and push down the
cross bar fully. (See Diagram 4a)
NOTE:
It is very important that the crossbar is
pushed fully down to prevent the Rollator
folding during use
.
Fit basket/tray in correct position (if provided)
Folding:
Remove basket (if present) and Pull up the
cross bar
.
(See Diagram 4b) The Rollator will then
close inwards for storage. Take care to keep fingers
out of frame when folding. The bag should be empty
before folding.
Walking:
This unit is to be used as a mobility aid,
creating a natural gait as the user walks securely
with their primary weight distribution between the
handlebars and with the unit in front of the user.
Braking:
The locking brakes are intended to assist
the user to control the Rollator. To apply the brakes
when in motion, pull up both of the loop handles.
(See diagram 5a).
To apply the parking brakes, push down the handles
until they lock down. A distinct click indicates that
the brake is in the correct position. (See Diagram
5b) It is important that both the brakes are put in the
parking position when they are to be used. Lift up
the handle to release.
If you apply the parking brakes, or pull up the brakes
to stop whilst moving, and the rear wheels on the
rollator still move, stop use immediately. Do not use
again until the brakes have been checked and
correctly adjusted. Refer to the maintenance
section.
Maintenance
Regularly check for wear and tear and that all
screws and knobs are securely fastened.
Check brakes are working satisfactorily by both
walking and squeezing the brakes and by
braking to a stop.
Check the parking brakes by pushing the
handles into the locked position, and then trying
to push the rollator.
If the brakes do not completely lock the wheels
the brakes need to be adjusted, as detailed
below.
Brake Adjustment:
The brake adjusters are
situated in front of the brake handles, as shown
in diagram 6. To adjust, loosen the lock nut, turn
the adjuster anticlockwise to tighten the brake
then retighten the lock nut.
For correct adjustment the brake mechanism
should not touch the wheel, but the gap should
be no greater than 3mm.
