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.
1. Open the Rollator into operating position (see
overleaf)
2. Fit the Basket Hook Locators onto the
handlebar tubes as shown in Diagram. 1
3. Insert the Handlebars into the framing tubes
and set to the correct height 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
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 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. Fit the bag to the frame as shown in the
photograph on page 1 using the poppers to
fasten.
6. Fit the basket by fitting the hooks on the basket
into the hook locators as shown in diagrams

Customer services, details below.
Cleaning Instructions
Clean regularly, wipe down with a soft, non
abrasive cloth.
Ensure there is no build up of dirt or debris around
the axle, brakes and wheels.
Using the 3 Wheel Rollator
Opening: Fold out the Rollator and push down the
cross bar fully. (See Diagram 4a)
NOTE: It is very important that the crossbar is
pushed fully down to prevent the Rollator
folding during use.
Fit basket/tray in correct position (if provided)
Folding: Remove basket (if present) and Pull up the
cross bar. (See Diagram 4b) The Rollator will then
close inwards for storage. Take care to keep fingers
out of frame when folding. The bag should be empty
before folding.
Walking: This unit is to be used as a mobility aid,
creating a natural gait as the user walks securely
with their primary weight distribution between the
handlebars and with the unit in front of the user.
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.
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.
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.
