E. Brakes
Stopping and parking
The brake handle can be used in two different ways
- as a driving brake or as a parking brake.
Driving brake (1):
The driving brake is used to reduce your speed
when pushing the TOPRO Troja 2G. To apply the driving brake, simply
pull the brake handles up. The brakes are applied instantly. Release
the handles, and the TOPRO Troja 2G is once again ready to move
forward. To prevent damaging the wheels, the brakes should not be
applied continuously while walking.
Parking brake (2):
The parking brake is used when TOPRO Troja 2G
is parked for a short or long period, i.e. when you want to take a break
from walking and sit on the seat. It is vital to apply the parking brake in
this situation! To apply the parking brake, push the brake handles
down towards the frame. To release, simply pull them back up.
F. Adjusting / checking and maintaining the brakes
Loosen the nut beside the brake (1). Tighten the brake wire with the
adjustment screw (2). Adjust the brake block (3) as close as possible
to the inner drum brake, and turn the wheel around to check that the
brake block is not touching the wheel.
The brake blocks and springs should be cleaned regularly to guarantee
their optimal operation. The wheels and brakes can be replaced if they
are worn or damaged.
G. Replaceable wheels

Suitable wheels for any surface
If you want to remove the wheels for transportation or replacement, follow
these instructions:
Remove:
Loosen the brake lever. Push down the red button on the hub (1),
and slide the wheel off the axle while still pushing the button down.
Attach:
Loosen the brake lever. Push down the red button on the hub (1). Slide
the wheel unto the axle while keeping pressure on the button (2). Push
the wheel as far as possible inward on the axle and release the button to
make the wheel snap onto the axle. The wheel is securely fastened when
the axle is completely visible in the middle of the hub and you cannot see
any of the red marks (3). The red button should now have popped back up
from the hub. Gently pull the wheel to check that it is securely fastened to
the axle.
After the new wheel has been applied to the rollator, make sure that
the brake lever is reattached and the brakes are functioning properly.
Readjust them if necessary (p.16, point F).
In addition to the standard wheels there are also offroad wheels and
studded tyres available as accessories. This is possible due to the fact
that the rollator has got IBS (interior braking system) which brakes on
the rim instead of the wheel surface.
