Using the rollator

Driving brake

Always check that the brakes are working
before starting to use the rollator.
• Squeeze the brake handles to walk with
the rollator.
• Release the brake handles to brake the
rollator
• The brakes are activated when the brake
handles are released
• Do not push the rollator with the brakes in
the locked position. If you attempt to push
the rollator with force when the brakes are
locked or partly locked, this will result in
damage to the tyres and brakes, which in
turn can stop the brakes working properly.

defect.

pulling up. When the slow down brakes
are deactivated, the wheels rolls without
resistance.

• Always sit with your back towards the
direction of travel.

can be purchased as an accessory.
Walking with the rollator

movement, walk fully upright with the rollator
near your body. Tuck your bottom in. Look
forwards, not downwards.
Warning!
Do not push the rollator a long way in front
of your body. This can lead to falls and
incorrect loadings.
