installing the product.
Introduction
Thank you and congratulations with the purchase of the Rollz
umbrella.
Before installing the rollator umbrella, read the assembly and
handling manual and note all the safety instructions. When
the assembling of the umbrella has been completed you can
start enjoying the best quality and easy handling of this
product.
The umbrella gives optimal protection
against rain and sun, as they block the
harmful UV radiation almost completely.
The Air-Vent-System ensures stability in
windy weather.
Because of the space-saving placement
on the right side (usually) you can use
your rollator with both hands without
being restricted.
Please note that the Rollz umbrella fits
all Rollz rollators. Choose the chapter
that corresponds to your Rollz model for
detailed instructions.

Assembly on the Rollz Motion (Performance,
Rhythm, Electric)
Note: If you own a Rollz Flex, please skip to the next chapter.
The mounting clamp is pre-assembled for mounting on the
Rollz Motion. You can assemble the umbrella on both the left
and right side, but always make sure the mounting clamp
points backwards (figure 4).
The clamp consists of two parts (figure 2). First attach the
rollator part on the frame of your Rollz Motion. Then fasten the
umbrella to the umbrella part. Find out how to assemble it on
the next pages.

Assembling goes as follows:
• Make sure to not lose the small pre-mounted spacer ring X
placed in-between the clamps of the mounting clamp. It
should always remain on the long Allen screw with flat head
(figure 3).
• Untighten the screws from the rollator part (figure 2) and
fix the mounting clamp as high as possible on the frame,
with help of the Allen key (figure 4). Make sure the umbrella
part is pointing backwards and the plastic wing nut is
pointing outwards (figure 4).
• Tighten the screws firmly.
• You can now place the umbrella pole in the umbrella clamp
from above and tighten the plastic wing nut (figure 4).
• The adjusting ring Y (figure 5) can be placed on the umbrella
pole the for setting the umbrella to the desired height. Make
sure you place the adjusting ring Y above the umbrella part
(figure 2) to keep the umbrella from moving down. You can
choose from a maximum of five different heights.
• The distance between the tip of the umbrella and the ground
should be at least 3-5 cm when the umbrella is folded.
• Tighten the screws again after two days.

Assembly on the Rollz Flex
Note: If you own a Rollz Motion, please return to the previous chapter.
The mounting clamp is default pre-assembled for the Rollz
Motion. Therefore the parts have to be swapped for the Rollz
Flex. The changing of the clamp goes as follows (figure 6):
• Unscrew the screws of the rollator part until both come
loose (figure 2). Remove both screws and the two black parts
labelled with indication number 25.
• Take the other two screws and two black parts from the Rollz
Flex mounting clamp (indication number 22) and screw them
in place with the gaps facing each other (figure 7).

between the ground and the tip of the umbrella.

Warnings, tips and safety instructions
WARNINGS
• The wind can get hold of any umbrella. If it is windy outside

button. Please keep the umbrella away from your body.
Also, pay attention to other people nearby to avoid
accidents.
TIPS
• Please note that when the umbrella is open, you will need
more space on the left and right sides of the rollator to not
get stuck into things.
• Also, pay attention to the overall height of your umbrella so
13
that you do not collide with extended awnings, for example.
• Before entering a building, make sure the umbrella is closed
and folded down.

hedges, fences, cigarettes and bushes.

Secure it with the Velcros and put the cover over it.
