Operating Your Rollator

Braking System

The rollator features an intuitive braking system for safety and control.

• To Slow Down or Stop: Gently pull the brake handles upwards towards you. The brakes will engage, slowing or stopping the rollator.
• To Engage Parking Brake: When you need to sit or ensure the rollator remains stationary, push the brake handles downwards until they click into the locked position. This will lock the rear wheels.
• To Release Parking Brake: Pull the brake handles upwards again until they release from the locked position.

Adjustments for Comfort and Fit

The Helavo rollator offers multiple adjustment points to ensure a personalized and comfortable fit.

• Handle Height: Press the gray height adjustment button located on the handle tubes and slide the handles up or down. Adjust to a height where your arms are slightly bent when holding the grips, ensuring proper posture and control. Securely lock the handles in place.
• Seat Height: The seat can be adjusted between 20.9” and 22.8”. To adjust, locate the spring button on the wheel axle, press it, and adjust the seat to your preferred height. Ensure all wheel axles are locked into position and adjusted to the same height for stability.
• Backrest Adjustment: The backrest is vertically adjustable. Loosen the gray wing screws on the backrest, adjust to your desired position for optimal lumbar support, and then tighten the screws firmly.

Maintenance

Regular maintenance ensures the longevity and safe operation of your Helavo rollator.

• Cleaning: Wipe down the frame and seat regularly with a damp cloth and mild detergent. Avoid abrasive cleaners.
• Wheel Inspection: Periodically check the wheels for any debris, wear, or damage. Ensure they rotate freely.
• Brake Check: Test the brakes regularly to ensure they engage properly and provide adequate stopping power. If the brakes feel loose or ineffective, they may need adjustment by a qualified technician.
• Fastener Check: Ensure all screws, bolts, and adjustment knobs are tight and secure. Do not overtighten.
• Storage: Store the rollator in a dry, clean place when not in use.

Troubleshooting

Here are some common issues and their potential solutions:

• Rollator pulls to one side: Check if all wheels are properly inflated (if applicable) and free of debris. Ensure all wheel axles are securely locked and at the same height.
• Brakes are loose or not engaging: The brake cables may need adjustment. Consult a qualified technician or refer to the assembly video for brake adjustment guidance if available.
• Difficulty folding: Ensure the seat is fully lifted and the metal brace inside the basket is pulled upwards completely. Check for any obstructions.
• Unstable feel: Verify that all height adjustments (handles, seat) are securely locked and set to the same height on both sides. Ensure all wheel axles are properly inserted and locked.
