Introduction

Thank you for the purchase of your new Nitro Duet Transport Chair and Rollator. This device is designed to be used as both a transport chair and rollator. Please do not attempt to adjust or operate the Nitro Duet without carefully reading all instructions in this manual. Under no circumstances should you move this device when seated and
use it as a rollator as this could result in serious injury. If you have any questions or concerns, please contact Technical Support at 866-621-4933.

Unfolding The Nitro Duet

Position the Nitro Duet on its wheels. Open the Nitro Duet. Press the tubes attached to the seat downwards until they lock into position (Figure 1).

Height Adjustment

Press and hold down the red release buttons. Simultaneously move the handgrip up or down. When the desired height is reached, let go of the red release buttons and the handgrip will automatically lock into the next possible height position (Figure 2).

Braking / Locking

Pull both brake levers upwards to apply the brakes while the Nitro Rollator is moving (Figure 3). Always brake slowly and steady.

Press both brake levers down to apply the locks while the Nitro Rollator is stationary (Figure 4). Pull up the brake levers and release to release the locks.

The effect of the brakes can be affected by the abrasion of the wheels.

Regularly test the brakes. Always engage and disengage wheel locks on both sides simultaneously.

Adjustment of Brakes

The brake system fitted on this rollator complies with the manufacturer’s quality standards. The brake system has been preset (adjusted) to the best performance settings. To better suit you personally, please follow the instructions set out below. You may need to adjust the brake systems from time to time as they will wear out with normal use. To adjust the braking strength, adjust the brake by pressing the screw housing downwards and then turning left or right (Figures 5 & 6).

Instructions for Use as a Rollator

Press and hold the red button on the footrest and move the footrest to the vertical position. Flip the backrest forward (Figure 7). Squeeze the armrest triggers to move them to the down position (Figure 8).

Rollator Seated Position
Position the Nitro Duet on a flat surface. Lock the brakes (parking position). Sit straight up and do not lean backward.
DO NOT MOVE THE NITRO DUET WHILE SEATED IN THE ROLLATOR POSITION.

Instructions for use as a Transport Chair

Flip the backrest backward and the armrests up (Figure 9). Press and hold the red button on the footrest and move the footrest down. Repeat for the other side (Figure 10).

Transport Chair Seated Position
Position the Nitro Duet on a flat surface. Lock the brakes (parking position). Sit straight up and place your feet on the footrests. Do not lean forwards. Unlock the brakes after
you are comfortably seated.

Folding / Transport / Storage

Put the footrests in the vertical position (Figure 11) and pull up on the seat handle (Figure 12). The Nitro Duet can be secured by pushing the two sides of the frame together until an audible click is heard signifying the lock is in place (Figure 13). Pull the handles apart to unlock.

Safety Instructions

1. Please make sure the Nitro Duet is fully opened and the seat is down.

2. Be sure the handgrips are at equal height.

3. Test the brakes before operating the Nitro Duet. When wheels are locked (see illustrations for locking and releasing locks previously in this manual), the lock bar on the rear wheels should prevent wheels from rotating. If the wheels rotate while locked, please take the unit back to the dealer for adjustment. When the brakes are released, the
   wheels should rotate freely.

4. Always lock the brakes before sitting and do not use the seat when the unit is on an incline or uneven ground.

5. Replace wheels when significantly worn or damaged.

6. Before entering or leaving the chair, engage the dual wheel locks on both rear wheels. Make sure the front casters are in the forward position before transferring into or out of the chair.

7. Leaning forward while using the Nitro Duet as a transport chair without proper assistance can cause tipping.

8. Do not expose the product to temperatures above 104°F for an extended period of time, as this can cause the Nitro Duet parts to overheat and burn the user.

9. Please make sure the Nitro Duet is fully opened, the seat is down and the folding bar under the seat is locked in the down position.

10. Be sure that both knobs are fully tightened and are at equal heights. Test the Nitro Duet for stability before applying weight to hand grips.

11. Regularly check the screws and fasteners on the Nitro Duet and tighten if necessary.

12. This item should never be used in a moving vehicle.

13. When exiting the transport chair:
    a. Engage wheel locks by pressing down on brake handles.
    b. Remove feet from footrests first and place firmly on the ground.
    c. Then use armrests for support before attempting to stand up. Assistance is always suggested.

14. Use bag only for the transport of objects and do not overload. Maximum load: 11 lbs.

DO NOT LEAN FORWARD WHILE USING AS A TRANSPORT CHAIR
NOTE: You and your attendant should consult a qualified professional for the correct techniques for on-ramp negotiations.
