Russka Rollator Aluminium Mode D'emploi page 8

5. You can hang the basket with the hooks on the cross­
bar underneath the seat. The underneath of it rests on
the front crossbar (pic. 9).
6. Insert the tray with the little »feet« underside in the
holes of the seat (pic. 9).
Use
Unfold/fold
• When opening out and when folding the rollator, make sure that no clothing or parts of
the body become trapped. To unfold, press the seat downwards until the folding catch
engages (pic. 10).
• To fold up, first secure the brakes as described under »Braking function«, so that the
rollator cannot roll away. Remove the basket and tray. Release the folding catch under
the seat by holding it through the grip opening in the seat. At the same time pull the red
lever underneath the seat and pull both upwards. The rollator then folds up. The rollator is
folded up completely when the front and back wheels are almost parallel to each other
(pic. 11).
Brake
The built­in brake functions as an operating brake for slowing down when moving. The
parking brake can be used when the rollator is stopped.
1. Speed is reduced by pulling the brake lever upwards (operating brake) (pic. 13).
2. The parking brake is activated by pressing the brake lever down until it engages (pic. 12).
3. The parking brake is released from its locked position by pulling the brake lever upwards.
4. The rollator should not be pushed while the operating or parking brakes have been
applied. If the rollator is pushed while the operating or parking brakes have been applied,
the tyres and brakes may be subject to excessive wear and deteriorate.
5. Regularly check that the brakes work satisfactorily. We recommend checking before
every use. The rollator must not be used with damaged brakes or damaged wheels.
Brake adjustment (pic. 14)
If the braking force is decreasing due to wear on the wheels, the brake shoe can be
adjusted. The brakes must be adjusted so that both wheels brake evenly. The distance
between the brake pad and the wheel surface should be about 2–3 mm. After replacing
wheels, the brake setting must be checked again and if necessary, readjusted.
1. Loosen the locking nut.
2. Adjust the braking force by turning the brake cable spanner inwards or outwards.
3. Check the braking function by turning the wheels and operating the brake levers. The
wheels should turn freely but stop immediately when the brakes are applied. The
wheels must not be able to move when the brakes are applied.
4. Tighten the locking nut firmly again.
5. If you are unsure about the correct adjustment of the brakes, please contact your
specialist retailer.
Basket
The basket allows the user to transport his shopping conveniently. You can hang it up using
the hook on the crossbar underneath the seat. The underneath of it rests on the front
crossbar (pic. 9).
Warning: Only use the basket to transport objects and do not overload it (max. 15 kg)!
Tray
The tray is designed only for small objects. The little »feet« under the tray enable it to be in
serted securely in the holes of the seat. Do not place hot, heavy or sharp objects on the tray!
Warning: Do not use the tray as a seat!
