OPERATING THE BRAKES
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 (fig. 10),
this will slow down and stop your rollator.
2.
The brakes on your Aidapt Rollator have a park option (fig. 11). 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.
3.
To unlock, simply pull up the brake again, you will hear a slight click as the 'park'
disengages.
ADJUSTMENT
1.
Your Aidapt Rollator brake system will require periodic adjustment.
2.
Carefully release the locknuts (fig. 16) and screw out the cable adjustment to both
brakes until the brake arms evenly clear the wheels by approx. 3 mm (fig. 17).
3.
Retighten both lock nuts by reversing the procedure.
4.
Check the park brakes by pushing down on the brake handles, ensuring that both
brakes lock in the park position.
5.
Lift the two 'braked' wheels off the ground and spin to ensure they turn freely. If
either of the braked wheels rubs onto the brake arm, please check for obstructions
and repeat the brake adjustment procedure above.
6.
It is important that you check brake adjustments on a regular basis to take into
account wear and tear. However brake adjustment must be checked at least once a
month and definitely prior to a change of user.
