3.12 Bar (optional for MALTE)

The bar serves as a horizontal connection bet-

ween the handles and supports an upright wal-

king position. It can be adjusted in depth and 

height and can be swung away.

Depth adjustment

Gently loosen the screws on both clamping de-

vices (E) and bring the bar into the required posi-

tion then re-tighten the screws.

Height adjustment

The handles are used to set the height (see point 3.2.1).

Swinging the bar away

Pull the locking bolts (F) out and swing the bar away to the side.

A bar cannot be used for MALTE Sizes 0 + 4 and in combination with

3.10 Friction brake (optional for MALTE)

The function of the friction brake is to slowly redu-

ce the speed of the rear wheel rollover.

By turning screw A (loosen lock nut B before-

hand) in and out, you can adjust the pressure the 

friction brake has on the wheel and therefore the 

wheel rolling speed.

After each adjustment, please re-tigh-

ten the lock nut!

ke. Please pull the brake lever (C) and lock into 

the red catch (D). To release, please pull the lever
