Seat height adjustment
Remove any prole clips (see page 9). Adjust one
side at a time. Pull out the knob under the seat. At
the same time, raise or lower the seat to the position
required. Release the knob, ensuring that it locates
properly to secure the seat in place. Do the same on
the other side. Check carefully that the seat is level
before using the rollator. Press down the centre sec-
tion of the seat. Place the prole clips in the notches
on the prole, both above and below the seat (see
page 9).
Handle height
The handle is at the correct height when the lower
arm rests comfortably on the armrest's cushion, ap-
prox. 90 degrees between the upper and lower arm.
When you walk using the rollator, you should walk
without bending forwards, keep the rollator close to
your body, keep your back straight and look straight
head.
Adjust the handle height
Slacken off the knob. Adjust the height of the handles
by pulling out the knob and adjusting the height; see
the setting heights on page 16. After this, adjust the
height and then check that the knob "clicks back"
and tighten the knob. Once you have used the RA for
a while, you will feel if you want to make any further
adjustments. You should feel comfortable when walk-
ing with your rollator. Mechanical stop for maximum
handle height. Number of visible holes constitute
marked height interval.

Unfolding and folding
Unfolding your rollator
1. Hold one of the push handles and tilt the RA to
that side slightly so the wheels on the opposite side
just come off the ground.
2. Unfold the rollator using the grey lifting handle on
the opposite side.
A spring helps to unfold the rollator.
3. Press down the centre section of the seat to lock
the rollator.

Tips for use
Adjust the brake on the RA for
correct functionality
The braking effect can be set using the cable adjuster
under the frame and/or on the brake handle.
1. Release/slacken the parking brake.
2. Loosen the nut in the middle with a 8 mm span-
ner.
3. Screw out the threaded, long, hexagonal shaft to
increase the braking effect. Screw in the threaded,
long, hexagonal shaft to decrease the braking effect.
4. Tighten the nut in the middle with a 8 mm span-
ner. You should adjust the brake so the brake pad
is approx. 1-2 mm from the wear track without it
"catching on the wear track". If you adjust the brake
too hard, activating the parking brake will be unnec-
essarily hard.
Learn the "scissors technique"
Approach the obstruction at an angle. Apply the
brake on the wheel closest to the obstruction. Tilt the
rollator slightly backwards, so the front wheels lift
up, swing the front wheels over the obstruction. It is
easy once you have learned how!
Comfort Frame
The RA is built with a Comfort Frame™, which
means that it passes smoothly over uneven surfaces.
When you need to pass over a larger obstruction or
mount a pavement edge, you can get help from the
tilting peddle by the rear wheels. Press down one
of the peddles at the same time as you lift using the
handles.
When walking over an obstruction, don't
lift the rollator by the seat since this
could cause it to fold!

Maintenance
Cleaning of rollators and acces-
sories
It is worth your while to look after your rollator be-
cause it will last longer.
Wipe dirt off with a wet cloth and a mild cleaning
liquid. Ensure that the gaps between the wheels and
the brake shoes are free of dirt; dirt here can reduce
the
braking effect! You can rinse off rollator using a
high-pressure cleaner or garden hose, wipe dry after-
wards.
Prole clips
Prole clips are used to prevent anything getting
caught. Delivered with the rollator. Should sit in all
visible notches. Both above and below the seat.
Reconditioning
Leave the brakes off when washing the rollator in a
washing facility. The rollator must cool down to room
temperature before it is used and adjusted.

1mm
Cable lubrication
After washing, lubricate the cable by applying a few
drops of oil by the handle under the frame.
Troubleshooting
If the rollator pulls to one side when you are walking,
check that the wheels rotate equally easily and that
the wheel forks turn easily. Check that the wheels
and the forks are properly secured. Check that there
is no dirt or rubbish caught between wheel and brake
shoe.
Make sure the brake cables are rmly attached to the
brake shoes under the frame. Check that the brake
shoe springs on the rear wheels are intact. When
braking, check that the brake shoes press on the
wheels with equal force on both sides. Cable adjust-
ment, see page 8.
