• In this position, the handgrips of the rollator should
be adjusted to a height level with your wrists.
Diagram 1:
• This will position your arms at an approximate
20º to 30º bend when using the rollator.
• Check that the holes in the handle bars and the
frame are aligned.
• Place the supplied bolt through the aligned holes
in the handlebar and frame. The holes in the
frame are hexagonal in shape to accommodate
the head of the bolt.
• Place the washer over the bolt and then apply
the hand nut. Hand-tighten firmly, but do not over
tighten.
4. Check the brakes thoroughly before use.
Note: The brakes are factory set, and if assembled
correctly do not need adjusting. To check; Apply and
release the parking brake on each side 10 times
(see diagram 5b).
The brake should grip the wheel and prevent any
movement when applied, when released, the
gap between the brake and the wheel should be
between 1 to 3 mm. If either of the above conditions
is not correct adjust the brakes as detailed in the
maintenance section, and re-check.

5.4 Braking:
The locking brakes are intended to assist the user
to control the Rollator. To apply the brakes when
in motion, pull up both of the loop handles. (See
diagram 5a).
To apply the parking brakes, push down the handles
until they lock down. A distinct click indicates that
the brake is in the correct position. (See Diagram
5b) It is important that both the brakes are put in the
parking position when they are to be used. Lift up the
handle to release.
If you apply the parking brakes, or pull up the brakes
to stop whilst moving, and the rear wheels on the
rollator still move, stop use immediately. Do not
use again until the brakes have been checked and
correctly adjusted. Refer to the maintenance section.
6. MAINTENANCE
• Regularly check for wear and tear and that all
screws and knobs are securely fastened.
• Check brakes are working satisfactorily by both
walking and squeezing the brakes and by braking
to a stop.
• Check the parking brakes by pushing the handles
into the locked position, and then trying to push
the rollator.
• If the brakes do not completely lock the wheels
the brakes need to be adjusted, as detailed below.
6.1 Brake Adjustment:
• The brake adjusters are situated in front of the
brake handles, as shown in diagram 6. To adjust,
loosen the lock nut, turn the adjuster anticlockwise
to tighten the brake then retighten the lock nut.
• For correct adjustment the brake mechanism
should not touch the wheel, but the gap should
be no greater than 3mm.
• Caution: After making any adjustments to the
brakes, you must test them before the rollator is
used.

not use the rollator. Contact your dealer or NRS
