Preface
EN3
The Rollit is a comfortable and sturdy wheelchair for
permanent use. A solid base frame also makes the
Rollit suitable for intensive use. This practical “no
nonsense” wheelchair combines extreme durability
with superb comfort seating and riding behaviour.
The Rollit is easy to use for both user and attendant.
The wheelchair can be adjusted for a specific user by
using additional parts and accessories.
The Rollit is resistant to water splashes and is suitable
for indoor and outdoor use.
The maximum occupant weight is 160 kg.
The Rollit has not been tested in accordance with ISO
7176-19. For this reason, Life & Mobility recommends
that the wheelchair does not have an occupant when
it is transported by taxi.
Attention:
nRead this user manual carefully before using the
wheelchair.
nWhen you see this symbol in the manual, it
indicates there is an additional instruction.
Always follow these instructions. Negligence may
adversely affect the operation of the wheelchair
and may cause physical injury or damage to the
wheelchair or the environment.

Safety instructions
EN7
nWhen transporting the wheelchair, always make
sure you are seated in a fixed seat of the motor
vehicle.
Attention:
nOnly lift the wheelchair using fixed parts of the
frame; do not use the removable accessories such
as armrests, footrests, etc.
Slopes and other obstacles
(see also page 17 for more information)
Attention:
nThe risk of the wheelchair tipping over on a slope
is greater than on a flat surface.
nAlways reverse backwards down a step so that the
wheelchair cannot tip forward and let you fall.
nNever ride the wheelchair on stairs by yourself.
nNever ride on a slope with an angle of more than
5 degrees.
nAsk for help from bystanders when you are not sure
that you can reach the highest point by yourself.
nThe attendant pushing the wheelchair must
continue to push the wheelchair to prevent it
running away.
nDo not turn around on a steep slope. If the
wheelchair is at the diagonal on a steep slope, it
will significantly increase the risk of tipping.
nWhen going down a slope, always keep your
speed under control.
nThe assistant must brake the wheelchair using the
push bars.
nWhen moving the wheelchair by yourself, only
use your hands on the handrims to brake and do
not use the tyre brake. Otherwise, you risk losing
control of the wheelchair.

Safety instructions
EN6
Sitting in the wheelchair
Warning:
nMake sure the fingers and limbs of the person in
the wheelchair do not get trapped. Always be very
careful:
- When the occupant is sitting lopsided in the
wheelchair.
- When the occupant’s arms hang limply over the
armrest.
- When both of the above occur.
nAn incorrect sitting posture can cause points
of pressure. If you are uncertain about this then
immediately contact your doctor or therapist.
Driving the wheelchair
Attention:
nWhen driving up a slope, the centre of gravity will
shift and the wheelchair can tip backwards more
easily.
nPay attention to your hands when using the
handrims if there is not much room at the side(s)
of the wheelchair.
nAssistants must never leave the wheelchair on a
slope without applying the brakes.
nNever tackle obstacles higher than 10 cm on
your own. Only practised wheelchair riders that
have sufficient strength are usually able to tackle
obstacles higher than 10 cm.
nSet the brake on the wheelchair before getting
into or out of the wheelchair.
nOnly use the brake to lock the wheels when
standing still. The brake is not suitable for braking
the wheelchair.
Transporting the wheelchair
Extremely dangerous:
nThe wheelchair is not Crash Test Safe, which means
it is not suitable transportation in a taxi when the
wheelchair is carrying an occupant.

Checking the delivery

much convenience.
Checking the deliverySafety instructions
Miscellaneous
Warning:
nDo not put the wheelchair in direct sunlight: the
upholstery can overheat and may cause burns or
irritation to the skin.
Be careful:
nDo not allow the wheelchair to come in contact
with seawater as it is corrosive and will rust the
wheelchair.
nDo not allow the wheelchair to come in contact
with sand, as it may penetrate into the moving
parts of the wheelchair, causing unnecessarily fast
wear and tear.

Technical problems
EN19
Should your wheelchair be subject to unexpected
technical problems, we advise you to contact
your dealer. The dealer will assess whether he can
repair the chair or whether the wheelchair has to
be returned to the manufacturer for repairs.
You may be able to solve a number of problems
yourself.
Moving parts, such as, arm rest, foot/leg rests,
and sides will not move:
nThe above-mentioned parts may have
become stuck in the frame when excessive
force was used on these parts. Carefully
tap the components using a plastic
hammer.
The brakes do not have sufficient braking power
or the brakes on either side do not have the same
braking power:
nYou must have the brakes adjusted.
Consult your dealer for this task.
Attention:
nAll repairs other than those mentioned above
always should be carried out by a certified
dealer. Careless repairs can endanger your
health. Moreover, the warranty on the product
will be cancelled. Use common sense and
decide whether you yourself are capable of
solving technical problems of the chair. Always
consult your dealer if you have any doubt.
When fitting and replacing parts, you must
comply with this manual and your dealer’s
advice. Prevent any hazardous situation
occurring for the assistant and the occupant
of the chair!
Maintenance
EN18
Minor maintenance (every 2 weeks)
You can perform minor maintenance on the Rollit

comfortably and safely. Ask you dealer for assistance
if necessary.
