ASSEMBLY

Unfolding the Rollator


Push the frame outward, then lock the frame in place by pushing the crossbar handle forward until it locks in place.

Attaching the Handles

Insert the handles and line up the holes.
Insert the hand wheel and turn clockwise to fix the handles in position.
Repeat for the opposite side.
Note: The handle height must be set up correctly for the user height. Refer to Section 5.3. The hand wheel must always be on the outside of the rollator frame. Set both handles to the same height.

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.

USING THE ROLLATOR

Brake Operation


To slow down or stop the rollator, pull both brake handles up.

To apply the parking brake, push the brake handles down until they lock into place.
Note: Make sure both brake handles have been applied. Pull both handles up to release the parking brakes.

Warning: If the brakes fail to stop or lock the wheels, stop using the rollator immediately. Do not use the rollator again until the brakes have been checked and correctly adjusted. Refer to Section 7.1.

Fitting the Bag

Fit the bag over the frame on both sides, then secure using the tabs and poppers,
Note: Make sure the bag is fully secure before use.

Removing the Bag

Folding the Rollator

Note: Make sure all items have been removed from the bag before folding.

Always check the brakes before use. Refer to Brake Operation

Brake Adjustment

The following section requires some technical ability. Do not attempt to carry out the adjustment unless you are confident to do so.

Tighten the Brakes:
Note: The brake adjustment nut is located at the bottom of the brake cable, above the rear wheel on both sides.

  1. Use a spanner to loosen the locking nut in an anticlockwise direction.

  2. Use a spanner to adjust the brake tension. To tighten the brakes, turn the adjustment nut in an anticlockwise direction.
    Note: There must be a small gap between the brake mechanism and the wheel, when the brake lever is released.

  3. Use the spanner to tighten the locking nut in a clockwise direction.
    Note: Use another spanner to make sure the adjustment nut remains in position, while tightening the locking nut.

  4. Test the brakes in accordance with Brake Operation.
    Note: Incorrectly adjusted brakes can lead to injury, please contact head office if you require assistance.

CLEANING

Make sure that all dirt and debris is removed from around the wheels, axle and brakes.
To clean the bag wipe with a damp cloth. Do not machine wash.
Clean the frame regularly, using a general purpose, neutral detergent and warm water.
