4. Operating Instructions

Braking System:

The Nitro Sprint features a unique braking system with three modes for enhanced control and safety.

• Free Mode: The rollator rolls freely without resistance. This is the standard walking mode.
• Slow Mode: Provides resistance, making it safer for going downhill or when more control is desired.
• Park Mode: Engages the brakes to prevent the rollator from rolling. Always use this mode when sitting on the seat or when the rollator is stationary.

This image visually explains the three braking modes of the Nitro Sprint rollator. Inset diagrams show the brake lever positions for "Free" (no resistance), "Slow" (controlled resistance for downhill), and "Park" (locked for sitting or stability). A person is shown using the rollator on a paved path, demonstrating practical application.

Folding for Transport and Storage:

To fold the rollator, pull the strap on the seat upwards. The rollator will fold side-to-side and lock in place, making it compact for storage or transport.

Using the Seat:

Before sitting, ensure the rollator is on a level surface and the parking brakes are fully engaged. Sit centrally on the padded seat. Do not attempt to move the rollator while seated.

5. Maintenance and Care
