WALKING
This unit is to be used as a mobility aid creating a natural balance. With hands
grasped securely onto handles, slowly walk behind the rollator. Gently push
forward using evenly distributed weight between handlebars.
BRAKING
Normal Brake can be activated by pulling the brake handle up, similar to
operating the brakes of a bicycle. This function may be applied while walking
with the rollator to slow down momentum, to stop for a moment, or to maneuver
up, down or around obstacles which may be in your path.
Parking Brake can be activated by pushing the handle down into the lock
position. This function should be activated when the user stops for a period of
time. For safety reasons, the parking brake should always be engaged before
sitting down onto the seat. For example, while shopping, it is beneficial to
activate the parking brake while stopped in an aisle to avoid the rollator from
advancing forward. To release the parking brake, gently pull up.
The braking system is convenient and easy to operate. People who may have
hand disabilities should find the brake handles wide, comfortable and
non-binding. Minimum pressure will need to be applied to activate the locking
loop brake system.

cables for looseness.The cables can be tightened at the adjuster screw located
where the cable is connected to the brake handle.If the cable is broken, it will
need to be replaced. Periodically check and tighten all nuts, bolts, screws and
other hardware on rollator.
