Using the rollator

Driving brake
Always check that the brakes are working
before starting to use the rollator.
•
If you need to brake while pushing the
rollator, squeeze the brake lever a little to
reduce your speed.
•
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.

Do not use the rollator if the brakes are
defect.

incorrect loadings.

Lifting and carrying the

the rubber of the wheel, as this can damage
the wheel.
