The Mobiclinic Hercules Rollator is equipped with manual brakes for safety and control.

• To slow down or stop: Squeeze the brake levers located on the handles towards you.

• To release parking brakes: Pull the brake levers up until they disengage.

• To sit: Ensure the parking brakes are fully engaged. Turn around and slowly lower yourself onto the seat. Use the handles for support if needed.
