Attaching the Handles

Insert the handles and line up the holes.
Insert the hand wheel and turn clockwise to fix the handles in position.

Handle Height Adjustment

Adjust the Rollator handle height so that when the user’s arm is down to their side, the hand-grip is at wrist height. This will ensure the arms are at an approximate 20°-30° bend when using the Rollator.

Undo and remove the hand wheel by turning anticlockwise.
Adjust the handle height to the required position, then refit the hand wheel. Refer to Section 5.2.
Repeat for the opposite handle.
Note: Make sure both handles have been set to the same height.
