Assembly and Height Adjustment
NOTE: Before assembly consult a suitably
qualified healthcare professional regarding the
correct height adjustment for maximum support;
and correct brake activation.
3. To assemble; insert the front & rear wheels,
using the button clips on the rear wheels and
the "C" Clips on the front to position. Loosely
insert the handlebars, do not fix the
handlebars at this stage.
4. Fit the back rest into the frame and secure
with snap clips.
5. To set the seat height, with the rollator frame
open, push down on the seat until all four
wheels are extended and the cross member is
in line, as shown in diagram 1. The seat height
can be adjusted by sliding the wheel
assemblies in the frame tubes and positioning
using the button & "C" clips. Make sure that all
the clips "click" into position and all four
wheels make contact with the floor and the
rollator is stable.
6. Set the correct height of the handlebars, as
follows:
·Stand upright behind the rollator with your
shoulders relaxed and your arms by your side,
·looking straight ahead.
·In this position, the handgrips of the rollator
(see diagram 1) should be adjusted to a height
level with your wrists.
·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 Hand bolts through the
aligned holes in the handlebar and frame, and
hand tighten firmly - but do not over tighten.
7. Check the brakes thoroughly before use.
NOTE: The brakes are factory set, and if
assembled correctly do not need adjusting
prior to use. To check; Apply and release the
parking brake on each side 10 times. (Push
brake lever down to lock, lift to release) The
brake should grip the wheel and prevent any
movement when applied. When released, the
gap between the brake moulding and the
wheel should be between 3 to 4 mm. If either
of the above conditions is not correct adjust
the brakes as detailed in the maintenance
section, and re-check.
8. Check all other nuts, bolts and screws are
tightly fastened.
