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. Refer to the
maintenance section.
Cleaning Instructions
•
Clean regularly by wiping down with a soft non-abrasive
cloth.
•
Ensure there is no buildup of dirt or debris around the
axle, brakes and wheels.
Maintenance
•
Regularly check for wear and tear and ensure all fasteners
are securely fastened.
•
Check the brakes are working satisfactorily by both
walking and squeezing the brakes and by braking to a
stop.
•
Check the parking brakes by pushing the handles into the locked
position and then trying to push the rollator.
•
If the brakes do not completely lock the wheels, the brakes need to
be adjusted.
