(for size 2+3). Set the parking brake and/or friction brake so that the

to the dimensions of the user
by adjusting the height and width of the handles so that the user's elbows
are slightly bent. If available, adjust the forearm supports in depth, height,
angle and tilt to the respective elbow height. Prior to use, release the
parking brake and/or the friction brake.

take a break if available. If available, the brakes must be used on slopes. In
case of hills, ensure that

does not offer a sufficiently large support
surface, the wheelbase must be adapted. The backwards stop is to be
used to prevent inadvertent rolling away, if available. If it is necessary to
encourage walking straight ahead, simply activate the directional locking
devices if available. To control the speed, use the optional friction brake.
