Assembly and Height Adjustment
NOTE: Before assembly consult a suitably
qualified healthcare professional regarding the
correct height adjustment for maximum support;
and correct brake activation.
1. To assemble, open the rollator frame, push
down on the frame and seat until all four
wheels are extended, the seat is flat and the
cross members are in line, as shown in
diagram 1. Make sure that all four wheels
make contact with the floor and the rollator is
stable in the open position.
2. Position the backrest bar so that the padded
portion faces the front of the rollator. Insert into
the brackets until the push buttons on the bar
lock into place.
3. Insert the Handlebars into the framing tubes
and set to the correct height as follows;
·
Stand upright behind the rollator with your
shoulders relaxed and your arms by your side,
looking straight ahead.
·
In this position, the handgrips of the rollator
(see diagram 1) should be adjusted to a height
level with your wrists.
·
This will position your arms at an approximate
20º to 30º bend when using the rollator.
·
Check that the holes in the handle bars and
the frame are aligned.
·
Place the supplied bolt through the aligned
holes in the handlebar and frame. The holes in
the frame are hexagonal in shape to
accommodate the head of the bolt.
·
Place the washer over the bolt and then apply
the hand nut. Hand-tighten firmly, but do not
over tighten
4. Check the brakes thoroughly before use.
NOTE: The Rollator Brakes are factory set,
and if assembled correctly do not need
adjusting prior to use. To check; Apply and
release the parking brake on each side 10
times. (Push brake lever down to lock, lift to
release) The brake should grip the wheel and
prevent any movement when applied, when
released, the gap between the brake moulding
and the wheel should be between 1 to 3 mm. If
either of the above conditions is not correct
adjust the brakes as detailed in the
maintenance section, and re-check.
5. Check to make sure all other nuts, bolts and
screws are tightly fastened.
6. Check all wheels are in good working order
and roll freely.
