NOTE
When you fold the frame, the bag should be empty, and the wheelchair package
should be detached.
Adjusting the height for correct posture
Setting the correct height (Figure 12) is crucial for an optimal use of the Rollz
Motion. The height can be adjusted in between the minimum and maximum posi-
tions. This way the Rollz Motion can easily be adapted to individual needs.
a. Loosen the adjustment handles on the handles counterclockwise
(Figure 13 and 14).
Figure 12: Determine the correct
height.

Figure 14: Rotate counterclockwise. Figure 15: Set the correct height.
b. Slide the handles to the correct height (Figure 15).
c. To determine the correct height, stand between the Rollz Motion handles
with your arms hanging near the body. The handles should be at the height
of your wrists (Figure 12).
d. Check whether both handles are at the same height using the height
indexation.
e. Make sure the handles are positioned in a straight line above the frame of
the Rollz Motion, pointing forward.
f. Turn the adjustment handles clockwise to tighten them (Figure 16A
and 16B).
e. Place the adjustment handles vertically so that they point straight down.
You do this by gently pulling the adjustment handle outwards and turning it
to the correct position (Figure 17).

Figure 18: Walk upright close to the
rollator.
Figure 17: Set the adjustment handle in
the right position.
CAUTION
Always set both handles at the same height to maintain stability. When height is
incorrectly set, this may cause imbalance that may increase the risk of injury. If
the rollator is not adjusted to the correct height, it can lead to neck or back pain.
Walking with the Rollz Motion
Thanks to the ergonomic design, you can walk upright, stable and comfortable
with the Rollz Motion.
a. First make sure the handles are adjusted to the correct height. See above in
Adjusting the height for correct posture.
b.While walking, stand in between the handles and, if necessary, lean on the
Rollz Motion. This way you walk as close as possible to the walker, which
offers the most support
(Figure 18) .
c. Keep your arms and hands relaxed, that prevents too much tension.
d.Keep an eye on your surroundings. Do not focus your eyes downwards, but
forwards, which improves the balance.
CAUTION
While you walk with the rollator, keep looking in front of you to determine a safe
route.

58
WARNING
Prevent yourself from driving one or all the wheels in a hole or an uneven terrain.
The rollator could tilt diagonally forwards and you might fall. The rollator could get
damaged as well.
Operating the brakes
The Rollz Motion has advanced drum brakes that work in all weather conditions.
The brakes are easy to operate and can provide varied braking power. The harder
you squeeze the brakes, the more you brake. The brakes can be locked when
you park the Rollz Motion so that it does not roll away. Test the braking power
regularly, especially before the first use, to experience how they work.
a. While walking, keep the fingers loosely around the handles (Figure 19).
You can also keep them around the hand brakes, with your thumb on the
inside of the handle.
b.Squeeze the hand brakes for braking (Figure 20).
c. Do you want to use the parking brake to make sure the rollator does not
roll away? First squeeze the hand brakes and simultaneously squeeze the
parking brake levers. Then release the brakes. Your walker is now in the
parking position (Figure 21).
d.To remove the walker from the parking position, squeeze the hand brakes
again and release them (Figure 22). The rollator is not in parking position
anymore.

WARNING
When you walk and you press the brakes too hard, the Rollz Motion can stop too
quickly.
Resting on the Rollz Motion
The Rollz Motion rollator gives support when walking. If you want to take a break,
you can also sit on it.
a. Always apply the parking brake before attempting to sit (see Operating
the brakes), otherwise the Rollz Motion can roll away while attempting
to sit on it or while sitting on it.
b.Sit down on the rollator seat from the rear (Figure 23). Always ensure
that the Rollz Motion walker is in the parking position.
Figure 23: Sitting on the rollator seat.
CAUTION
The walker is not suitable for moving yourself around whilst sitting. It is not desig-
ned for this purpose. You could fall while doing this, with all the associated risks.
Using the bag
a. You can reach into the bag under the seat from the rear of the Rollz Motion.
b.The bag can carry a maximum weight of 10 kg.
c. When the bag is empty, it can remain attached when folding the frame.

60
NOTE
Do not overload the bag.
Going over thresholds and curbs
To easily get on pavements up to a height of around 15 cm, or over thresholds,
the Rollz Motion has two curb assistants.
a. Place the Rollz Motion rollator with the front wheels against the threshold or
curb.
b.Push the left or right curb assistant (Figure 24) down with your left or
right foot, while tilting the Rollz Motion towards you with your hands. This
way, the front wheels get off the ground. Now push the Rollz Motion forward
until you are clearly on the curb or over the threshold with the front wheels
(Figure 25).
c. Place the front wheels onto the sidewalk or ground.
d.Then push the walker further forward until the rear wheels are also
completely on the pavement or over the threshold.

pavement or go over a threshold.

FROM ROLLATOR TO TRANSPORT CHAIR
The Rollz Motion is delivered with the transport chair package included. This
package can be attached to the Rollz Motion for departure (Figure 26). This al-
lows the rollator to be transformed into a transport chair on the road, in less than
a minute. You only need to pull up the transport chair package, place the footrests
on the frame and turn the handles. Then you can sit in the transport chair. The
transport chair can be turned into a walker again just as easily.
To be used as a transport chair, someone needs to push it. A user who does not
have somebody else accompanying him, cannot use the Rollz Motion as a trans-
port chair. However, the user can sit comfortably in it.
CAUTION
The Rollz Motion transport chair can carry a maximum weight of 125 kg or 275
lbs. This transport chair is intended to be used by only one person at a time.
When multiple persons are sitting on the transport chair or rollator, the Rollz
Motion can be damaged.
WARNING
During transport in a wheelchair accessible taxi, bus, train or other vehicle, the
user cannot remain seated in the Rollz Motion transport chair. The transport chair
is not intended for this use.
