Brakes
Carbon Overland is equipped with two independent brakes acting on the rear wheels.
1. Pull the brake levers upwards to activate the brake. The lever moves
back to the neutral position when the brake lever is released.
2. The parking brake is activated by pressing the brake lever down until
you hear a click sound. Release the parking brake by pulling the brake lever
back to the neutral position.
Always engage both parking brakes when you sit on the seat.
Under normal circumstances both brakes should be activated simultaneously.
Be aware that when only one brake is activated, Carbon Overland will turn to
the same side as the engaged brake.
Do not store with the parking brake activated as prolonged activation of the
parking brake can leave visible marks on the wheel and decrease the braking
performance.
Adjusting the brakes
The brake should be adjusted if the brake force applied to the wheel. is insufficient (this can occur if the tyres are worn) or the parking brake is difficult to activate (which is most often seen after replacement of a worn down tire). Always set the handle to the desired height before the brake is adjusted as the position may cause a little variation of the brake adjustment.
1. Adjust the brake with a 3 mm Allen wrench. Insert the Allen wrench into
the adjustment screw through the hole in the front of the brake unit.
2. The brake is tightened by turning the adjustment screw clockwise
(viewed from the front) and loosened by turning it counter-clockwise (viewed
from the front).
Curb lifter
Even though Carbon Overland is one of the world’s lightest rollator and therefore is easy to lift, it is equipped with a curb lifter that makes it easier to get over smaller obstacles like curbs and low steps. This is particularly helpful if heavy objects are transported in a front-mounted basket or bag.
1-2. Carefully press on the curb lifter with a foot. Pull slightly by the handles to lift the front wheels off the ground.
Be aware that the stability of Carbon Overland changes when it is reclined. Be cautious and try to bypass rather than climb high obstacles.
Accessories
Carbon Overland can be made even more useful with original accessories. A full
display of our range can be found at www.byacre.com.
All of our accessories are model specific and of course tested with it to
ensure your safety.
The accessories should always be installed according to the accessories manual
product. Maximum carrying capacity for bags are always specified in the
manual.
Never use non-original accessories with the rollator, as this could pose a potential risk for your safety.
Maintenance & cleaning
Carbon Overland should be regularly maintained by removing dust and dirt. Pay special attention to keeping the brakes and wheel hub clean.
All surfaces can be cleaned with a textile cloth and clean water, if necessary with a little non-abrasive detergent. Wipe with a dry cloth afterwards. Do not use paper towels as these can scratch the surfaces.
It may be necessary to occasionally tighten one or more screws with a T25 or a H3 key.
Parts subject to wear such as wheels and brakes should be replaced in good time before they may pose a safety risk. Any defective part must be replaced immediately.
We recommend that the seat is regularly impregnated. The seat can be cleaned with a wet cloth and, if necessary, with a little stain remover.
Safety precautions before use
Never use the Carbon Overland if it is in any way defective. Contact your
dealer for servicing. In case of any serious injuries related to the rollator,
please contact byACRE and/or your National Board of Health.
Attention: When unfolding the rollator, please check that the rollator is
securely locked in place with an audible click.
Before each use, check that the brakes are working properly.
The rollator must not be used by people weighing over 150kg/330 lbs. It is
not suitable for transporting heavy loads or people.
The rollator is not a toy.
Check that the height adjustment of the handles are correctly engaged and
that the handle bars are not set higher than the marked maximum setting.
Do not change/modify the rollator. Such action could negatively impact the
safety of using the rollator and expire the manufacturer’s liability.
Safety instructions for use
Attention: Always activate both parking brakes before sitting down and while
seated. Do not use the rollator to drive a person around and do not move the
rollator while seated. The rollator is not designed to carry a person while in
motion.
For your own safety, you should not stand on the Carbon Overland, nor lean
back, sideways or forward while seated.
Do not tilt the rollator more than max 5 degrees to the side. This could
cause risk of falling!
Do not attach bags or other items to the handles. This can cause the rollator
to fall.
Always use the brakes when stopping or parking. The brakes can be pulled up a
little to decrease the speed while walking.
For good support and safe walking, the rollator must be held close to the
body.
Walking upright and looking ahead improves balance. Particular care should be
taken when going down curbs.
Do not push the rollator far in front of you as this creates a risk of
falling.
Note that the rolling speed of the rollator can be faster than your walking
speed and create a risk of falling.
Do not use the rollator on stairs.
Always make sure that your clothes are not trapped or stuck in the handles or
in other parts of the rollator.
While riding on public transport, sitting on the rollator is not safe.
