4.4 Handle Height Adjustment
Adjust the Rollator handle height so that when the
user’s arm is down to their side, the hand-grip is
at wrist height. This will ensure the arms are at an
approximate 20°-30° bend when using the Rollator.
Undo and remove the hand-wheel by turning anti-
clockwise.
Remove the steel washer, saddle-washer, then
remove the bolt.
Adjust the handle height to the required position,
then secure using the bolt, saddle washer, steel
washer and hand-wheel. Refer to Section 4.2.
Repeat for the opposite handle.
Note:
Make sure both handles have been set to the
same height.
