Restrictions on use

• The bag may be loaded with a maximum of 5 kg.
• It is not permitted to move yourself around with your feet (tripping) while being seated on the rollator.
• The rollator is designed for both indoor and outdoor use.

 Operation

Inventory
Take the Saljol Carbon Rollator out of the box and check if anything is missing.
Compare with figure 1 on page 28 and with the scope of delivery, described in 4.1 on page 26. If any part is missing or damaged, contact your dealer or Saljol immediately.
5.1 Unfolding the rollator

Open the brown hook to unlock the folding
mechanism.| Hold both handles and push or pull them apart in parallel.| Finally, push both seat tubes down with your hands until you hear a „click“ sound.

Important
Now test whether you can pull the seat tubes upwards. If this does not work, the rollator is correctly and safely unfolded. If in doubt, compare with figure 1 on page 28. After unfolding the rollator, please make sure that it is securely closed with an audible click of the lock and that the seat is well tensioned. Make sure that both push handles are securely inserted in the frame and firmly fixed with the hand screw.
Always test the secure fit of all accessories BEFORE use. Failure to observe these warnings may result in injury.
5.2 Folding the rollator

Pull the brown release strap on the seat upwards with a slight tug to fold the
rollator.| Push the rollator together by the handles until both seat tubes are close together.| Secure the folded rollator with the brown hook.

5.3 Adjusting the correct handle height/support height

Open the hand screws on
the handlebars. On the inside of the support bars you will find a height scale
that makes it easier to adjust the left and right handlebars to the same height.| You can find the correct grip height by standing in the rollator, letting your
arms dangle loosely and bending them slightly. The height of the ball of the
thumb now corresponds to the correct height of the push handles.| Tighten both hand screws hand-tight.
Tip: Activate the parking brake so that the rollator does not roll away when
you adjust it.

Important
Adjust both push handles to the same height to achieve a symmetrical posture when walking. Always press the parking brake (see 5.5) when you want to leave the rollator, stop or sit down.

5.4 Use of the handbrake

To brake the rollator, simply pull the brake handles upwards towards the push handles. To stand safely in the rollator, keep
the brake handles pulled.| To release the brake and continue walking, simply release the brake handles.

5.5 Use of the parking brake

To apply the parking brake, press the brake
handles down until you hear a „click“ sound.| To release the parking brake, pull the brake handles upwards.

Important

• Use the brakes when you are not moving the rollator.
•  Always apply the parking brake when you park the rollator or want to sit down.
• It is recommended to use the brakes on inclined grounds to get a safer feeling and minimize the risk of falling.
• Sit with your back to the shopping bag, not on the bag.
• Sit upright on the seat net while resting your forearms comfortably on the push handles and armrests.

5.6 Brake adjustment
If the braking force decreases due to wear of the wheels, the brake must be adjusted.
The brake should be adjusted so that both wheels brake evenly. The distance between the brake pad and the wheel surface should be approx 2-3.5 mm.

Loosen the lock nut with a size 8 open-end spanner and turn it completely upwards.
Fix the adjustment screw at the same time. Adjust the braking force by turning the adjustment screw inwards or outwards. Check the brake function by turning the wheels and operating the brake handles. The wheels should turn freely but stop immediately when braking. It should not be possible to move the wheels when the brake is locked. Tighten the lock nut tightly again.
Caution
The brake is correctly adjusted if, when the brake is applied, the rear heels lock and do not turn when pushed.
Info Here you can find a video, using the example of our Allround Rollator, in which the brake adjustment is explained: https://Awww.youtube.com/watchv=kRu80iwFM or scan the QR code.

5.7 Using the tipping aid

The tipping aid is located on the rear wheels. Step on the tilt lever with one foot and pull the rollator towards you gently by the handles. The walker will now tilt. This will help you overcome thresholds and curbs.

5.8 Using the grinding brake

The grinding brake is recommended for slight slopes or for people with severely limited walking speed. Press thered lever to activate the grinding brake. You can adjust the rolling resistance at the adjusting screw.

Maintenance

Plastic parts are best cleaned with a commercially available plastic cleaner. Please follow the instructions for use of the cleaning agent used. To stop squeaking or creaking of the cross struts, simple means such as Teflon spray can be used.
