5.1 Brake system

CAUTION
Check the working of the brakes to ensure
your safety. The condition of the brakes is
influenced by wear, oil and other
contamination of the rear wheels and
braking mechanism.
The rollator is equipped with brakes,
operated by two brake levers (13). The
brake levers operate in two modes:
running brakes and parking brakes.
CAUTION
Do not push the rollator too hard while
using the running brakes. This may cause
damage to the tyres or brakes.
CAUTION
• To use the running brakes, pull both
brake levers
upwards [A] in a squeezing motion. To
stop braking, release the brake levers.
• To use the parking brakes, push both
brake levers (13) downwards in locked
position [B]. Always use both parking
brakes simultaneously. To end the
parking mode, pull both brake levers
simultaneously upwards.
