handle adjustment
Press down on both brake handles until you hear a distinct click sound. Always
make sure that both brakes are engaged. Pull upwards to release the parking
brakes. When using the seat, both brakes MUST be in the locked position for
your safety.
From time to time, you might need to adjust the tension on the brake cable
system. To increase the tension on the brake cable simply loosen brake
adjusting nut “A”, unscrew the knurled end piece “B” and turn it counter-
clockwise about 4 complete turns. “A” and “B” are found at the back of the
brake handle. When desired tension is reached, retighten the nut. No tools
are necessary to perform this adjustment.
To adjust the handle knobs and
knob bolts to a suitable height,
stand behind the rollator with
your shoulders level. The
handles should be at the same
height or slightly higher than the
user’s wrist. A therapist might
suggest a different handle height
to accommmodate a specific
need for the user.
Referring to Figure 2, remove
the knob and pull the hex bolt
out to adjust the handle to the prescribed or desired handle height. Then,
insert the hex bolt ensuring that the hexogonal part of the bolt fits properly
on the hexagonal cut out on the frame of the Arc Lite rollator. Lastly, tighten
the knob snugly.
CAUTION:
Do NOT over-tighten!
