4.6. Adjusting / activating the
brakes
Service brake
To activate the service brake, pull both handbrake levers upward on
the push handles upward (Fig. 12). Service and locking brake act on
the fixed wheels.
Locking brake
• Press down on both brake levers to activate the locking device
(Fig. 13).
• To release the locking brake pull both brake levers back into middle
position (Fig 14).
Adjusting the brakes
We recommend adjusting the brakes together with your mobility
dealer. If you have the necessary technical knowledge, you can do this
yourself as well.
The brake is set properly, if the brake pins do not touch the wheel and
the locking brake can be activated easily.
• Loosen the locknut (Fig. 15, arrow) so the adjustment nut can turn.
• Now turn the wide adjustment nut further inwards or outwards to
increase or decrease the braking effect.
• Retighten the locknut.
• Repeat the procedure on the other brake if necessary.
4.7. Wheels and tyres
Your rollator is equipped with flat-proof PU wheels 192 x 48 mm.
5. Use
Walking
Make your first attempts to walk with the rollator on a flat, firm surface.
Familiarise yourself with the function of the brakes. Let someone
accompany you during this initial period.
For an anatomically correct gait, the push handles must be set at
proper height (see sec. 4.4.).
• Place yourself in the rollator so that your ankles are at the height of
the rear wheels.
• Stand with good posture.
• Grasp the push handles with both hands and your arms bent at a
slight angle.
When walking with the rollator try to stay as close as possible with
the body to the push handles. This increases the stability and safety
against tipping over; in addition, avoid a crooked back. Try to generally
walk in the rollator and not behind it. Take small steps and do not push
the rollator too far ahead.
You can determine the change of direction and speed by pushing
the rollator. Always use the brakes to slow down your movement. The
rollator could otherwise turn with the unbraked wheel and the braked
wheel, and could fall over.
Go around obstacles whenever possible. Try to use ramps or take lifts. If
this is not possible, the rollator must be carried over the obstacle. Find
a second person to help you do this, if possible.
The seat
The rollator is also designed to be used as a seat by the user for short
breaks. It is therefore equipped with a seating area. You must absolutely
activate the locking brakes before sitting down. The rollator could roll
away and you could fall.
