Operation
Unfolding the Rollator
Place the rollator upright on its wheels. Press the tubes attached to the seat downwards until they audibly lock into place. The rollator is correctly unfolded when the locking hook is engaged.
Adjusting Handgrip Height
To adjust the height, press and hold the red release buttons located at the bottom of the handgrip tubes. Simultaneously move the handgrip up or down to the desired height. Release the buttons to allow the handgrip to lock automatically into the nearest available height position. Repeat this process for the other side until the desired height is achieved.
Braking and Parking
To brake while moving, pull both brake levers upwards slowly and steadily. To park the rollator, press both brake levers down until they lock into position. To release the brakes, pull the levers upwards until they are unlocked (they will be in the middle position).
Adjusting the Brakes
If the braking action is too weak or too strong, it can be adjusted using the screw housing located on the brake cable. Press the adjustment sleeve towards the wheel and turn the adjustment screw left (for stronger braking) or right (for lighter braking) to achieve the desired effect. It is important to regularly test the brakes, as their effectiveness can be influenced by wheel wear.
Attaching and Removing the Carry Bag
To attach the bag, slightly fold the rollator and slide the bag's mounting blocks into the guide rails located on the left and right sides. Unfold the rollator to complete the attachment.
Sitting on the Rollator
Position the rollator on a flat, stable surface and lock the brakes. Ensure the rollator is stable and does not slip. Sit upright and avoid leaning backward.
Folding for Transport and Storage
To fold the rollator, pull the seat handle upwards. Push the two sides of the frame together until an audible click is heard, indicating the lock is engaged. Pull the handles apart to unlock.
