ASSEMBLY 

Place the individual parts of your rollator on the 

floor. The handlebars are already connected to 

the main frame by the brake cables. Place them 
to the right and left of the main frame.

Unfolding the rollator

Hold the main frame by the seat's grip hole (1, 

pic. 1) and position it on the floor with the front 
wheels (swivel wheels). The grip hole must be 

on the side facing away from you.
Bend over the main frame and grip the part of 
the frame that faces away from you to unfold 

the frame (2, pic. 1).

Now you can place the rollator with all four 

wheels on the floor and fully unfold it by press

-

ing on the seating surface.

NOTE

To use FAKTO+ Arthritis correctly, it must be ad-
justed to your individual size. You should have 
an employee of your medical supply store or 
another trained person do this.  

Fitting the armrests 

Loosen the star screws of the two T-pipes. The 
T-pipes can now be inserted into the vertical 

tubes of the frame (1, pic. 3). 
The clamping levers (3, pic. 3) at the upper end 

of the T-pipes must point in the direction of the 
front wheels.
Now insert the handlebars into the horizontal 

element of the T-pipes from the front (2) so that 

the side with the handle and the brakes points 

upwards  in  the  direction  of  travel  and  fix  the 
clamping lever (3, pic. 3). 

Now apply the parking brake by pushing the 
brake lever away from you. (See "Brake and 

parking brake" chapter)
