RehabMart 50468 EZ Fold-N-Go Petite Rollator
Opening and Closing the Rollator
MAINTENANCE: The rollator has lubricant applied on the plastic joints that slide along aluminum tubing. This lubricant will eventually dry out and make the rollator more difficult to open and close. When this occurs, a silicon spray between the plastic joints and the aluminum tube. This can be obtained from local hardware stores.
To open the rollator, undo buckle, pull handles apart, and push down on the seat as shown in Figure 1.
WARNING: Keep hands away from center pivot of the seat to avoid any potential pinch points.
To close the rollator, pull up on the handle between the seat pads. Push handles together, and snap the buckle as shown in Figure 2.
Handle Height Adjustment
With the rollator in the open position, remove Knobs and Bolts. Position the Handle to the desired height, by aligning the holes in the handle tubes. Reinsert the bolt and tighten Knob as shown in Figure 3.
Brake operation:
Handle brakes have two functions as shown in Figure 3. Pull up on Brake Lever to provide braking action. Push down on Brake Lever to lock the brakes to prevent the rollator from moving while sitting. WARNING: Brakes must be in locked position before sitting.
Adjusting tension in the Brake Cable
When the Brake handle can no longer provide sufficient braking resistance, the
Cable tension will need to be adjusted. Hold cable nut with pliers and twist
cable thumb screw in the counterclockwise direction to promote closer distance
between the brake pad and the wheel.
Rotation and Replacement of Brake Pad
Each Brake Pad has two usable wear surfaces to extend the life of the Brake
Pad. After one side of the Brake Pad has been worn down on one side, loosen
the bolt and rotate Brake Pad 180 degrees as shown in Figure 5.
