Congratulations with your new Carbon Ultra light rollator. It is the world’s Ughtest rollator. In order to utilize all the possibi Uties the carbon Ultralight provides, it is important that you carefully study this user manual Technical specifications and overview of accessories are available toward the end of the user manual.
Brakes
Carbon Ultralight is equipped with two independent brakes acting on the rear wheels.
-
Pull the brake levers upwards to activate the brake. The lever moves back to the neutral position when the brake lever is released.
-
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 Ultralight 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.
- Adjust the brake with a 3 mm Allen wrench. Insert the Alen wrench into the adjustment screw through the hole in the front of the brake unit
- 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 Ultralight is the world’s lightest rollator and therefore is easier 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.
Carefully press on the curb lifter witha foot. Pull slightly by the handles to lift the front wheels off the ground. ABe aware that the stability of Carbon Ultralight changes when it is reclined. Be cautious and try to bypass rather than climb high obstacles.
Accessories
Carbon Ultralight 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 Maximum carrying capacity for bags are always speiffed in the manual.

Maintenance & cleaning
Carbon Utralight 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 l25 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.
