ASSEMBLING & USE
Check all parts carefully before assembling the product. Do not assemble the product if any parts are missing or are damaged.
ASSEMBLING
:
1.
Open the 3 wheels rollator into its operating position.
2.
Insert the handlebars into the frame tubes and set to the correct height as follows:
o
Stand upright behind the rollator with your shoulders relaxed and your arms by your side, looking straight ahead.
o
When you are in this position, the handgrips should be adjusted to height that brings them level with your wrists.
o
Your arms should now be able to be bent at an angle of 20° to 30° when using the rollator.
o
Check that the holes in both the Handlebars and the frame are correctly aligned.
o
Place the supplied bolt through the aligned holes in the handlebar and frame. The holes in the frame are hexagonal in
shape so that they accommodate the head of the bolt.
o
Place the washer over the threaded section of bolt that is protruding from the outer side of the frame and then screw
the hand wheel onto the threaded section. Hand-tighten firmly, but do not overtighten.
o
Follow the same procedure for the second handlebar.
3.
Check the brakes grip the wheels thoroughly before using the rollator.
NOTE: The brakes are factory set and if assembled correctly, should not need adjusting.
To check: Apply and release the parking brake on each side 10 times. (See diagram 2b) The brake should grip the wheel and
prevent any movement when they are applied. When released, the gap between the brake and the wheel should be
between 1mm and 3mm. If either of the above conditions are not correct, adjust the brakes as detailed in the maintenance
section and re-check the brakes.
4.
Fit the bag to the frame using the poppers supplied.
MOUNTING

1.
Opening:

. (See Diagram 1a)
– It is very important that the cross bar
be pushed down fully to prevent the Walker from closing when it is being used.

The rollator will then close inwards to make storing the unit as easy
as possible. Take care to keep fingers outside of the frame when folding the rollator. The bag should be empty when
folding the rollator.
3.
Walking:
This product is designed to be a walking aid, creating a natural gait as the user walks securely and safely, with
their primary weight distribution between the handlebars and with the rollator in front of the user.

The locking brakes are intended to assist the user to control the rollator. To apply the brakes when in motion,
pull up both of the lop handles.
(See Diagram 2a)
To apply the parking brakes, push down both of the loop handles
until they lock onto the wheels and lock into position. A distinct audible click will be heard to show that the brakes are
in the correct position.
(See diagram 2b)
