ADJUSTMENT TO BRAKES
1. Your brake system will require periodic adjustment. The brake adjustment is similar to bicycle
brakes.
2. (g. 12) Shows the brake handle in its default delivered position. Should the brakes need adjusting
they can be tightened by unlocking Nut A and then unscrewing (anti-clockwise) Nut B. When the
brake arm has a 3mm clearance (g. 14) then Nut A should be retightened. An example of a user
adjusted brake handle is shown in (g. 13).
3. When adjusted, the brakes should work in both normal braking and in parking mode. If needed
then Nut B (g. 12 & g. 13) can be turned a further anti-clockwise, which will tighten the brake
cable more.
4. If the brake handles are fully adjusted and more tightening is required refer to (g. 14) where
further adjustment can be made.
5. After adjustment, check the park brakes by pushing down on the brake handles, ensuring that both
STORAGE
OPERATING THE BRAKES
1. Grip the side bar and lift (g. 11).
2. Continue lifting until the Rollator fully close (g. 4).
3. You may also wish to remove the half-round back from storage;
to do so pull the silver coloured locking buttons located on
either side of the tube lock outwards (g. 6(a)), then lift up the
back to detach (g. 6).
The handbrake on your Aidapt Rollator works very similar to a bicycle hand brake:
1. To stop, gently apply a gripping pressure to both brakes simultaneously, this will slow down and
stop your Rollator (g. 8).
2. The brakes on your Rollator have a park option. To operate the park option, push downwards on
both brakes simultaneously. You will feel the brake make a very slight click. Your brakes are now in
the ‘lock’ position (g. 9).
3. To unlock, simply pull up the brake again, you will hear a slight click as the‘park’ disengages (g.
10).
