The RolloGuard unit, mounted inside rim, is designed to easily replace existing wheels on a Rollator
(wheeled walker) without changing the Rollator design, purpose or intended use.
RolloGuard is configured to operate as follows;
Reacts to unintentional forwards acceleration (speed increase)
Activates when the Rollator acceleration is larger than a predefined threshold (m/s2)
Prevents the wheel from rotating forwards once activated
Wheel stays in locked position as long as there is forwards torque
Deactivation of the RolloGuard unit is performed by moving the Rollator in reverse
NOTE! The RolloGuard unit does NOT provide protection when moving the Rollator in reverse.
Approved use
Use both hands when pushing the Rollator forward. Pushing the Rollator forwards with only one hand
might result in just one RolloGuard unit activating. This is expected behavior and depends on several
factors such as the rollator weight and the individual pushing force of each hand.
As the RolloGuard unit reacts to change in speed (acceleration), moving the rollator backwards and then
immediately forwards, can cause the brake to activate unintentionally. After deactivation, wait a short
moment before moving forwards again.
Moving quickly over uneven surfaces such as bumpy roads or sidewalks, or quickly over a door step
might activate the RolloGuard unit. Make sure to walk slowly and with caution on and over uneven
surfaces.
A rollator equipped with RolloGuard will be marked with a sticker placed on the RolloGuard unit brake
drum (component no. 7 in section 3) of the rear wheels. RolloGuard is delivered with the green sticker
(low protection level) as standard, the other two magnets for adjustment are supplied and can be
installed by the authorized dealer. This sticker is referenced below with a specific color, description and
intended use;
Sticker
Protection
Level
Description
High
The fall protection has maximum sensitivity. It will be activated and stop the
Rollator at very small changes in speed (accelerations). This level is only
suitable for a user who moves slowly and needs a fall protection that reacts
instantly. This sensitivity setting can cause the RolloGuard unit to activate when
moving over door thresholds and on uneven surfaces and is most suitable for
indoor use.
Medium
The fall protection has medium sensitivity. It will be activated and stop the
Rollator at small changes in speed (accelerations). This level is suitable for a
user who moves with a slow to medium pace but still needs fall protection that
reacts instantly. This sensitivity setting is less prone to cause the RolloGuard
unit to activate when moving over door thresholds and on uneven surfaces and
is most suitable for indoor use.
Low
The fall protection has low sensitivity. It will be activated and stop the Rollator
at larger changes in speed (accelerations). This level is suitable for a user who
moves with a normal to high pace and need fall protection that reacts quick but
not instantly. This sensitivity setting is less prone to cause the RolloGuard unit
to activate when moving over door thresholds and on uneven surfaces, and is
suitable for both indoor and outdoor use.
NOTE! If the Rollator is used in any way other than as described above, this may result in an
accident.
