5.3 Brakes
Your rollator has two kinds of brakes. While driving you should use the driving brake
and when you are standing still you can use the parking brake.
Driving brake
When you need to slow down speed while pushing the rollator, you have to
squeeze the brake lever to reduce your speed, see photo 3;
Be aware that you do not push the rollator while squeezing the brake lever. If
you do attempt to do this, this will cause damage on the tyres and the brakes,
which will result in damaged brakes;
As mentioned earlier in paragraph 3.2, do not use the rollator if the brakes are
defect!
Parking brake
Push the brake lever downwards to engage the parking brake, see photo 4, you
will hear a click that will confirm that the parking brake is engaged;
To disengage the parking brake, you need to push the brake upwards. This will
be confirmed when you hear a click, see photo 3.
