the main frame by the brake cables. Place them
to the right and left of the main frame.
Unfolding the rollator
Hold the main frame by the seat's grip hole (1,
pic. 1) and position it on the oor with the front
wheels (swivel wheels). The grip hole must be
on the side facing away from you.
Bend over the main frame and grip the part of

NOTE
To use FAKTO+ Arthritis correctly, it must be ad-
justed to your individual size. You should have
an employee of your medical supply store or
another trained person do this.
Fitting the armrests
Loosen the star screws of the two T-pipes. The
T-pipes can now be inserted into the vertical
tubes of the frame (1, pic. 3).
The clamping levers (3, pic. 3) at the upper end
of the T-pipes must point in the direction of the
front wheels.
Now insert the handlebars into the horizontal
element of the T-pipes from the front (2) so that
the side with the handle and the brakes points
upwards in the direction of travel and x the
clamping lever (3, pic. 3).
Now apply the parking brake by pushing the
brake lever away from you. (See "Brake and
parking brake" chapter)

four wheels.
c The clamping levers and clamp levers must
be securely tightened..
c The handle tubes and the T-tubes with the

Adjusting armrests & handles
Now adjust the correct height of the armrests
and the position of the handles.
Insert the hexagonal screw (4, pic. 3) from the
inside of the main frame through the borehole.
Now guide the curved washer over the screw
thread. Ensure that the hexagonal head of the
screw is seated in the "hexagonal cut-out" of
the frame tube (5, pic. 3). This allows you to
tighten the star screw without the need for
tools (6, pic. 3).
Now check the position of the handlebars. The-
se can be adjusted in depth to the length of your
forearms.
Make sure that the handle tubes are only xed

Tray (tted as standard)
The tray is designed for the transportation of
small items up to a maximum of 5 kg.
Place this on the seat. There are four pins on
the bottom of the tray that can be positioned
into the four holes in the seat.
WARNING
Do not use the tray to transport hot items or hot
drinks.
Single hand brake (optional)
If one of your hands does not have enough
strength to safely apply the brake, the Fakto+
Arthritis can be equipped with a single hand
brake. This will need to be attached to the rolla-
tor by an authorised specialist retailer.
c Attaching a single hand brake to your rol-
lator requires you to have sufficient
strength in the hand that applies the
brake so as to ensure safe handling.
c The same usage and maintenance in-
structions apply as for the version with
brakes on both handlebars.
ADD-ONS & ACCESSORIES OF
THIRD-PARTYS
In general, only original accessories from DIETZ
GmbH may 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 instal-
lation. The conformity of the combination of ac-
cessories or add-ons and product is then new
to be explained by the person who attaches it.
The conformity declared by DIETZ according to
MDR 2017/745, Annex II expires.
WARNING
The safety of the product cannot be guaranteed
if add-ons or accessories are used that are not
sold by DIETZ.
WARNING
If accessories or add-ons are combined with the
rollator, then the safety instructions in the user
manual for the accessories or add-on must be
observed.

SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
By observing the intended use and following the safety instructions, there is no danger of using the
FAKTO+ Arthritis rollator.
WARNING
Follow all safety instructions, otherwise there
may be a risk of injury!
c The rollator may only be used indoors and
on level, rm ground.
c The rollator must be securely upright on all
four wheels.
c Before each use of the rollator, check that all
attached parts are properly fastened, that
the brakes are working and that the folding
mechanism is locked.
c Always lock both brakes before sitting on
the rollator's seat.
c The rollator’s seat is only designed to be
used for short periods, such as when
taking a break when walking!
c Attention: Please note that a shift of bal-
ance due to body movements may in-
crease the risk of the rollator tipping over.
c Do not hang any bags on the handles or
other parts of the rollator, as this will
increase the risk of it tipping over!
c There is a generally higher risk of tipping
over when standing and moving with the
rollator due to the high armrests. There-
fore, always ensure that the load on the
rollator is even!
c Pay attention to the neighbouring compo-
nents when operating the folding lock
(unlocking lever). There is a risk of en-
trapment if handled improperly!
c Never exceed the maximum combined
load of 120 kg for user and load!
c Avoid exposing the wheelchair to direct
sunlight/low temperatures for long
periods of time as parts of the product
(e.g. frames, footrests, brakes and side
panels) may b come very hot (> 41°C) or
very cold (<0°C) and this may cause skin
injuries.
c Ensure that the rollator is not parked in
direct vicinity of emergency exits and
escape routes and blocks them.
c Never use the rollator under the influence
of alcohol or other substances that can
negatively affect your attention and reac-
tion ability!
c Only ever use the rollator in accordance
with its intended use! When using the
rollator, never approach obstacles such as
steps or curbs without applying the
brakes.

06 SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

c The rollator must not be left to children to
play and must not be subjected to im-
proper use!
c When sitting on the rollator, you must not
walk with your feet or be pushed by other
persons! This is an injury risk and may
cause damage to the product!

public road traffic.
c Wherever possible, wear light, eye-catch-
ing clothing. This will allow you to be
seen more easily by other road users.
c Never use the rollator as a seat in a
vehicle or on public transport. This poses
an increased risk of falling!
c Never use escalators. The risk of falling
and injury is very high!
c Stairs must only be negotiated with the
help of accompanying persons if no ele-
vators or ramps are present.
c The wheel bearings can be damaged by
sand, seawater and road salt. Clean the
rollator thoroughly if it has been exposed
to conditions such as these.
c If they cannot be bypassed, ruts, rails or
similar obstacles must always be crossed
at right angles (90°).
c The rollator must not be used to transport
heavy loads. Items must only be
transported using the rack, basket or tray,
as described in the “Accessories” section.
c Serious incidents that occur in relation to
the rollator must be reported to the
manufacturer and the responsible
authorities!
c If you notice any limitations in the
functioning of your rollator, please take it
to your authorised specialist retailer for
repair immediately.
