4. Assembly/adjustments
4.1. Unfolding
• Position the rollator in the travel direction.
• Release the locking brakes (see sec. 4.5.).
• Tip the B+B rollator towards yourself until the load is taken off the
steered wheels and press the handles downwards at the same time
with a gentle jolt.
• To lock the folding mechanism, now fold the seat plate tight to
your seat (Fig. 3). This locks the rollator.
4.2.Folding
• Position the rollator in the travel direction.
• Activate the locking brakes.
• Hold the rollator firmly with one hand on the handle (Fig. 4).
• Now grasp the slot provided in the seat plate and simply pull it
upwards. Ensure that neither body parts nor pieces of clothing
become pinched during the folding process.
4.3.Attach basket
• The rollator is unfolded. Activate the locking brakes.
• Position yourself against the travel direction in front of the rollator.
• The basket can be hung on the hooks on the left and right of the
rollator (Fig. 5) and sits on the frame.
• To remove the basket, simply grasp the carrying handle and pull it
up and off.
• Place the tray onto the seat from above in such a way that the four
plastic pins of the tray fit into the holes of the seat (Fig. 6).
4.4.Adjusting the push handles
• The rollator is unfolded. Activate the locking brakes.
• Turn the plastic screws on the handholds until the handles move
freely (Fig. 7).
• Position yourself behind the B+B rollator and allow your arms to
hang loosely downwards.
• Now adjust the push handles so that they are located at the height
of your wrists. Select the nearest hole in the push tube.
• Retighten the plastic screws after the adjustment procedure.
Observe the minimum insertion depth.
• Repeat this procedure on the other side.
• Check to make sure that both the push handles are at the same
height.
4.5.Adjusting / activating the brakes
Service brake
To activate the service brake, pull both handbrake levers upward on
the push handles upward (Fig. 8). Service and locking brake act on the
fixed wheels.
Locking brake
• Press down on both brake levers to activate the locking device
(Fig. 9).
• To release the locking brake pull both brake levers back into middle
position.

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. 11, 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.
4.6.Wheels and tyres
Your rollator is equipped with flat-proof PU wheels 200 x 50 mm.
5. Use
Walking
Make your first attempts to walk with the rollator on a level, 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.
Lifting points
You can lift the rollator on the grips or frame sections, in order to carry
it over obstacles or steps.
