Brake Operation
•
To slow down, pull up both brake handles (diagram 3a).
•
To apply the parking brakes, push down both brake handles until
they lock. A distinct ”click” will be heard when the brakes are in the
correct position (diagram 3b). It is important that both brakes are put
in the parking position when they are used.
•
Lift both handles to release the parking brakes.
•
If you apply the parking brakes to stop while moving, and the rear
wheels on the rollator still move, stop use immediately. Do not use
again until the the brakes have been checked and correctly
adjusted.
The curb aid
The Ch3015 is equipped with two curb aids. These are used to aid
the user in traversing curbs and other small obstacle. To use, the
user places a foot on one or the other to hold the rear wheel in
place and tilts the rollator back towards themselves. When the front
wheel lifts off the ground the user rolls the walker ahead so the front
wheels are over or on the top of the obstacle. The user then lifts the
back of the rollator using the push handles and puts the rears
wheels on the curb or over the obstacle.
