5.2 Brake system
Risk of falling
Check the working of the brakes to ensure
your safety. The condition of the braking
system is influenced by wear, oil and other
contamination of the rear wheels and
braking mechanism
The rollator is equipped with brakes, operated
by two brake levers (1). The brake levers can
be used in two braking modes: running
brakes and parking brakes.
•
To use the running brakes, pull both brake
levers (1) simultaneously upwards [A]. To
stop braking, release the brake levers.
•
To use the parking brakes, push both
brake levers (1) downwards in locked
position [B]. Always use both parking
brakes simultaneously. To end the parking
mode,

simultaneously upwards.
5.3 Backrest belt
Risk of falling
Before using the seat:
•
Make sure that backrest belt (5) is well
secured to the frame.
•
Check that all 6 bolts (16) and nuts of
belt (5) are well tightened.
Belt and holder can easily be mounted by
pushing its base over the protruding part of
the support on the frame, see example in
figure 3. Push it down until it sits tight.
Figure 3: Sliding the backrest belt on/off
To demount, slide the base upwards again
until it slides from the support.
5.4 Shopping bag
Risk of falling,
tipping over
Do not overload the shopping bag.
The maximum carrying weight of the

The shopping bag is meant to be mounted on
the hooks below the seat. For this, the bag is
equipped with two loops, one at each side of
the bag.
5.5 Negotiating kerbs
Risk of falling
Take kerbs straight, with both front wheels
aligned to the kerb. Keep the rollator
nearby.

tipping aid on the two rear wheels.
1. Make sure you are standing stable while
holding both handgrips.
2. Use one foot and push on tipping lever (14)
