5.4 Braking:
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 loop handles. (See
diagram 5a).
To apply the parking brakes, push down the handles
until they lock down. A distinct click indicates that
the brake is in the correct position. (See Diagram
5b) It is important that both the brakes are put in the
parking position when they are to be used. Lift up the
handle to release.
If you apply the parking brakes, or pull up the brakes
to stop whilst moving, and the rear wheels on the
rollator still move, stop use immediately. Do not
use again until the brakes have been checked and
correctly adjusted. Refer to the maintenance section.
6. MAINTENANCE
• Regularly check for wear and tear and that all
screws and knobs are securely fastened.
• Check brakes are working satisfactorily by both
walking and squeezing the brakes and by braking
to a stop.
• Check the parking brakes by pushing the handles
into the locked position, and then trying to push
the rollator.
• If the brakes do not completely lock the wheels
the brakes need to be adjusted, as detailed below.
6.1 Brake Adjustment:
• The brake adjusters are situated in front of the
brake handles, as shown in diagram 6. To adjust,
loosen the lock nut, turn the adjuster anticlockwise
to tighten the brake then retighten the lock nut.
• For correct adjustment the brake mechanism
should not touch the wheel, but the gap should
be no greater than 3mm.
• Caution: After making any adjustments to the
brakes, you must test them before the rollator is
used.

not use the rollator. Contact your dealer or NRS
