Instructions for Use as a Rollator
Adjustment of Brakes
The brake system fitted on this rollator complies with the manufacturer’s quality
standards. The brake system has been preset (adjusted) to the best performance
settings. To better suit you personally, please follow the instructions set out below.
You may need to adjust the brake systems from time to time as they will wear out
with normal use. To adjust the braking strength, adjust the brake by pressing the screw
housing downwards and then turn left or right (Figures 5 & 6).

Press and hold the red button on the footrest and move the footrest to the vertical
position. Flip the backrest forward (Figure 7). Squeeze the armrest triggers to move
them to the down position (Figure 8).

Rollator Seated Position
Position the Nitro Duet on a flat surface. Lock the brakes (parking position). Sit straight
up and do not lean backwards.
DO NOT MOVE THE NITRO DUET WHILE SEATED IN THE ROLLATOR POSITION.

wheels should rotate freely.
