Height adjustment of the handles (pic. 7)
Adjust the height of the handles so that the user can walk upright, without bending over.
It is recommended that the user stands upright with arms at their sides between the han-
dles. The grips should be adjusted to the height of their wrists.
1.
Loosen the height adjustment screw D.
2.
Move the handle to the desired height.
3.
Tighten the height adjustment screw D.
Adjust both handles in the same height. The printed numbers on the inside of the push
handles help you easily adjust your personal grip level again (pic. 8).
Brake (pic. 9)
Check the brakes function before use.
1.
Speed is reduced by pulling the brake lever upwards.
2.
The parking brake is activated by pressing the brake lever down until it engages.
3.
The parking brake is released from its locked position by pulling the brake lever upwards.
4.
The Rollator should not be pushed along with the parking brake on. If the Rollator is
pushed along with the parking brake on this can cause extreme wear to the tyres and
brakes and their function impaired.
5.
The Rollator must not be used with damaged brakes.
Brake adjustment (pic. 10)
The brake shoe can be adjusted if the braking force lessens as a result of wear on the wheels.
The brakes must be adjusted so that both wheels brake evenly. The distance between the
brake pad and the wheel surface should be about 2–3,5 mm.
1.
Loosen the locking nut.
2.
Adjust the braking force by turning the brake cable spanner inwards or outwards.
3.
Check the braking function by turning the wheels and operating the brake levers. The
wheels should turn freely but stop immediately when the brakes are applied. When the
brake is activated, the wheels shall not be possible to move.
4.
Tighten the locking nut firmly again.
Seat
Activate the parking brake before you sit on the seat. Always sit fully on the seat with your
back in the direction of travel. (pic. 11) Do not lean against the seat! Do not lean over the sides
or backwards while sitting on the rollator. That could impair the stability of the Rollator. Do
not use the seat on a sloping surface. Ensure that the front wheels are parallel to the direction
of walking.
The seat has been tested for a user weight of up to 150 kg.
Negotiating obstacles with the support of the step aid
Tread on the step aid in order to raise the front wheels of the Rollator so that you can negoti-
ate a doorstep, kerb or another obstacle more easily (pic. 12).
