04 USING THE ROLLATOR
USING THE ROLLATOR
Familiarise yourself thoroughly with your TAiMA
rollator before using it for the rst time so
that you feel safe and condent handling the
rollator. It is advisable to be accompanied by a
second person.
Check that the rollator has been correctly
assembled before using it:
c Are all attached parts firmly fixed in
place?
c Have all screws been firmly tightened?
c Do the brakes work?
c Does the rollator rest on all four wheels?
c Is the folding lock properly engaged?
WALKING WITH YOUR ROLLATOR
Position yourself inside the rollator. Grab the
handgrips with both hands.
As soon as you stand safely, you can loosen the
parking brakes.
WARNING
Safety hazard! The following points are im-
portant for your safety!
c Do not push the rollator too far in front
of you. In order to give good support,
the rollator should be kept close to your
body.
c Control your speed by gently applying
both brakes evenly.
c Walk upright and look forwards to be
able to avoid any upcoming obstacles
early. Walking backwards with your
rollator is difficult, and not
recommended.
c Use the brake (pull the brake lever
upwards) on sloping paths and do not
use paths that are excessively steep.
c It is inadvisable to walk backwards using
the rollator.
CURB CLIMBER
It is easier to overcome curbs and other
obstacles by tipping the rollator.
1. Ensure that you have a firm footing.
2. Gently press the toe cap with your toe.
This slightly lifts the front wheels of the
rollator.
3. Push the rollator onto the obstacle and
take your foot back off the toe cap.
WARNING
Tipping danger! Keep in mind that pressing
the curb climber can impair your balance.

04 USING THE ROLLATOR
BRAKE ADJUSTMENT
Check that the brakes are correctly adjusted as
follows:
c The brake lever and the Bowden cable
must not be loose (they must not have
any play).
c When you release the brake lever, the
wheels must turn without making any
scraping noises.
c If necessary, the braking effect can be
adjusted using the adjusting screw C of
the Bowden cable on the brake pads of
the rear wheels.
WARNING
Safety hazard! If problems occur when ad-
justing the brakes, please contact an autho-
rised specialist retailer! This is the only way of
ensuring the safe use of the rollator.
Safety hazard! Never fully unscrew the
screw, otherwise the brake will no longer
work.

To reduce speed while walking just pull both
levers evenly and gently upwards. Always apply
the same amount of power on both brake
levers A.
PARKING BRAKE
1. To block the brakes (parking brake), press
the brake levers downwards B. They will
click into place audibly and automatically.

carrying straps B, place the bag briefly on
the ground and then take hold of the

05 ACCESSORIES
SHOPPING BAG (OPTIONAL)
Your TAiMA rollator can optionally be equipped
with a shopping bag that is approved for
carrying up to 15 kg in weight.
These bags are attached, removed and carried in
exactly the same way as the standard shopping
bag (see description in previous chapter).
The shopping bag can also be closed using a zip.
BACKREST (OPTIONAL)
If you wish to have the optional backrest
"Standard" A or „Comfort“ (soft & extra
wide) on your TAiMA, please contact your
medical supply store to install the backrest.
The backrest allows you to seat yourself safely
and helps you to nd the correct position on
the seat of the TAiMA.
WARNING
Tipping danger! Make sure that the brakes
are locked before you sit down, and be aware
that leaning against the backstrap will reduce
the tilt stability.
WARNING
Tipping danger! Before you sit down, make
sure that the backrest is not turned upwards or
downwards. You could otherwise lose your bal-
ance and fall.
NOTE
The seat is only designed to be used for short
periods, such as when taking a short break
when walking. For longer breaks, use
conventional seating!
CANE HOLDER (FITTET AS STANDARD)
The cane holder is already tted on the right-
hand side of your rollator on delivery.
1. To insert your walking stick, first position
the rubber base of the walking stick in the
lower section of the cane holder A.
2. Then use slight pressure to click the stick
into the upper clip of the cane holder B.

11
EN
05 ACCESSORIES
If having the cane holder positioned on the left-
hand side would be more practical for you, the
upper and lower sections of the cane holder
can be released and attached to the left-hand
side. Please contact your authorised specialist
retailer to have this installed.
TRAY (OPTIONAL)
The tray is designed for transporting small
items up to a maximum of 5 kg but only for
use indoors.
Place the tray on the seat cover. There are four
pins on the bottom of the tray. Position the pins
in the four holes in the seat cover.
When transporting objects on the tray, always
push the rollator with extra care. If you make
jerky movements, the objects could tip over or
fall off.
WARNING
Risk of burns! Do not use the tray to trans-
port hot items or hot drinks. You could burn
yourself if the transported items tip over
ONE HAND BRAKE SYSTEM (OPTIONAL)
If one of your hands is not sufciently strong to
operate the brake safely, the TAiMA M can be
equipped with a one-hand brake. This must be
mounted on the rollator by an authorised spe-
cialist retailer.
c Your rollator must only be fitted with a
one-hand brake if the hand with which
the brake will be operated is sufficiently
strong to guarantee safe handling.
c The same usage and maintenance
instructions apply as for the version with
brakes on both handlebars.
EXTENDED PUSH HANDLES (OPTIONAL)
The TAiMA M can be equipped with extended
push handles. This is advisable if you are not
able to walk upright when pushing the rollator
due to your size.
WARNING
Safety hazard! Please contact your
authorised specialist retailer to have extended
push handles installed.
Setting the precise handle height, using the
brakes and adjusting the brakes are performed
in exactly the same way as for conventional
push handles. For information on these tasks,
read the chapters “Adjusting the handle
height“, “Brakes“, “Parking brakes“ and
“Adjusting the brakes“.

safety instructions stated in the separate user
manual for the umbrella!
ACCESSORIES AND ADD-ONS FROM
EXTERNAL SUPPLIERS
As a general principle, only original accessories
from DIETZ GmbH are to be used. If third-
party products are installed on the rollator,
responsibility for the safety of the product
passes to the person who installs the
accessories or carries out the installation. The
compliance of the combination of accessories
or add-on and product is then new, and must
be declared by the person who attaches it. The
compliance declared by DIETZ according to
MDR 2017/745, Annex II expires.
WARNING
Product safety! Should add-ons or accesso-
ries that are not sold by DIETZ be used, the
safety of the product cannot be guaranteed.
Product safety! If accessories or add-ons are
added to the rollator, the safety instructions in
the user manual for the accessories or add-ons
must be observed.

on the rollator's seat.
c The rollator’s seat is only designed to
be used for short periods, such as

balance due to body movements may
increase the risk of the rollator tipping
over. Always make sure the load on
the rollator is evenly!

or other parts of the rollator, as this
will increase the risk of it tipping over!
c Take care not to trap your hands,

catching clothing. This will allow you
to be seen more easily by other road
users.
