How To Replace Your
Lumex
®
Set N' Go Rollator Brakes
1.
The following items are needed to replace
your handbrakes:
Channel Lock Pliers
Thick Towel or Rag
Replacement Handbrake
2.
Wrap towel around handgrip for protection,
then use pliers to apply pressure and rotate
handgrip down as shown. You will hear a pop as
handgrip adhesive releases. Continue twisting to
slide handgrip off.
You can now remove the top screw shown
above, that secures the brake assembly onto the
handle tubing.
3.
You will see a spring and cable mechanism on
the rear wheels. Identify the brass cable lock and
loosen the socket head cap screw several turns;
you can then remove the brass cable lock by
pulling straight downward. Pull firmly to
remove the end cable cap. You will have the
pieces shown in the right side picture.
4.
Install the brake handle onto the rollator
handle tubing. Feed the cable through the leg
bracket, then feed the spring onto the cable as
shown. Next support the cable and slide the
brass cable stop onto the end of the cable while
trying to avoid bending any cable strands.
Once the brass cable stop is flush with the
spring, tighten the socket head cap screw.

. Support the brake shoe, lift the spring, and
compress it enough so the shoe will fit between
the spring and the brass cable stop. The cable
stop must go completely below the brake shoe.
Notice, at this point the brake is not tensioned
properly and the brake shoe is far from the tire.
