4. Justeringer

4.1 Håndtagshøjdejustering

Proper handle height is crucial for comfort and stability. The handles should be adjusted so that your arms are slightly bent at the elbow when standing upright with your hands on the grips.

1. Locate the adjustment knob on each handle support.
2. Unscrew and pull out the knob.
3. Raise or lower the handle to the desired height.
4. Align the holes and re-insert the knob, then tighten it securely.
5. Repeat for the other handle, ensuring both are at the same height.

4.2 Bremsejustering

The hand brakes are pre-adjusted, but may require fine-tuning over time.

• If the brakes feel too loose or too tight, locate the brake cable adjuster near the handle.
• Turn the barrel adjuster clockwise to tighten the brake cable (increase braking power) or counter-clockwise to loosen it (decrease braking power).
• Test the brakes after adjustment to ensure they engage and release smoothly and effectively.

5. Betjening

5.1 Brug af håndbremserne

• For at sænke farten eller stoppe: Squeeze the brake levers towards the handles. The harder you squeeze, the more braking force is applied.
• Sådan aktiveres parkeringsbremserne: Push the brake levers down until they lock into place. This will prevent the rollator from moving. Always engage parking brakes before sitting on the seat.
• Sådan udløses parkeringsbremserne: Pull the brake levers up until they release from the locked position.

5.2 Brug af sædet

The rollator features a comfortable seat with a built-in pad for resting.

• Ensure the rollator is on a level surface.
• Aktiver begge parkeringsbremser ved at trykke håndtagene ned.
• Turn around and slowly sit on the seat.
• To stand up, lean forward, push off the handles, and slowly rise. Release the parking brakes only when you are ready to move.

5.3 Using the Front Wire Basket

The removable front wire basket provides convenient storage for personal items.

• Place items securely in the basket.
• Do not overload the basket, as this can affect the rollator's stability. Refer to the specifications for weight limits.
