Attaching the Handles

Insert the handles and line up the holes.

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, then remove the bolt.

Adjust the handle height to the required position, then secure using the bolt and hand-wheel. Refer to Section 4.2.
