3. Operating Instructions
3.1 Using the Brakes
The rollator features a 3-mode braking system for enhanced safety and control.
- Free Mode: Allows the rollator to move freely without resistance.
- Slow Mode: Provides resistance, making it safer for going downhill or when more control is desired.
- Park Mode: Engages the parking brake to lock the wheels, preventing movement when sitting or standing. To engage, push the brake levers down until they click into place. To release, pull the levers up.

- Fasteners: Ensure all screws, bolts, and locking mechanisms are tight and secure. Do not overtighten.
- Storage: Store the rollator in a dry place away from extreme temperatures.
5. Troubleshooting
If you encounter any issues with your rollator, refer to the following common problems and solutions:
| Problem | Possible Cause | Solution |
|---|---|---|
| Brakes are not engaging or feel loose. | Brake cable needs adjustment or wear on brake pads. | Inspect brake cables for damage. Adjust cable tension if necessary (refer to a qualified technician if unsure). Ensure brake pads are clean and free of debris. |
| Wheels are not rolling smoothly or are sticking. | Debris in wheel mechanism or worn bearings. | Clean wheels and axles of any hair, dirt, or debris. If problem persists, contact customer support. |
| Rollator feels unstable or wobbly. | Frame not fully locked or fasteners are loose. | Ensure the frame is fully unfolded and all locking mechanisms are engaged. Check and tighten all visible screws and bolts. |
| Handles or seat cannot be adjusted. | Adjustment buttons/levers are stuck or obstructed. | Ensure no debris is obstructing the adjustment mechanisms. Apply gentle pressure while pressing buttons. Do not force adjustments. |
