4. Assembly/adjustments
4.1. Fitting push handles
Remove the marked protective sleeves from the tube (Fig 4).
Insert the push handles into the handlholds and fix them using the
wing screw.
Please observe the minimum insertion depth (knurled area)
(section 4.5).
4.2. Unfolding
Position the rollator in the travel direction.
Release the locking brakes (see sec. 4.5).
Tip the B+B rollator towards yourself until the load is taken off the
steered wheels and press the handles downwards at the same time with a gentle jolt.
To lock the folding mechanism, now fold the seat plate tight to
your seat (Fig. 4). This locks the rollator.
4.3. Folding
Position the rollator in the travel direction.
Activate the locking brakes.
Note that the rollator may suddenly fold up when the lever is activated.
Hold the rollator firmly with both hands and tilt it by pulling it
towards you.
For unlocking, take one hand off the handle and use it to activate
the lever of the auto-lock system (Fig. 7). Ensure that neither body parts nor pieces of clothing become pinched during the folding process.
To fold the rollator up completely, pull the handles towards you.
4.4. Attach basket and tray
The rollator is unfolded. Activate the locking brakes.
Position yourself against the travel direction in front of the rollator.
Simply hang the basket onto the hooks attached to the front frame
tubes (Fig. 8)
To remove the basket, simply grasp the carrying handle and pull it
up and off.
Place the tray onto the seat from above in such a way that the four
plastic pins of the tray fit into the holes of the seat (Fig. 9).
4.5. Adjusting the push handles
The rollator is unfolded. Activate the locking brakes.
Turn the plastic lever on the handholds until the handles move
freely (Fig. 10).
Position yourself behind the B+B rollator and allow your arms to
hang loosely downwards.
Now adjust the push handles so that they are located at the height
of your wrists. Select the nearest hole in the push tube.
Retighten the plastic lever after the adjustment procedure. Observe
the minimum insertion depth. (knurled area)
Repeat this procedure on the other side.
Check to make sure that both the push handles are at the same
height.

The push handles may be turned a maximum of 45° outwards.
4.6. Adjusting / activating the brakes
Service brake
To activate the service brake, pull both handbrake levers upward on the push handles upward (Fig. 12). Service and locking brake act on the fixed wheels.
Locking brake
Press down on both brake levers to activate the locking device
(Fig. 13).
To release the locking brake pull both brake levers back into middle
position (Fig 14).
Adjusting the brakes
We recommend adjusting the brakes together with your mobility dealer. If you have the necessary technical knowledge, you can do this yourself as well.
The brake is set properly, if the brake pins do not touch the wheel and the locking brake can be activated easily.
Loosen the locknut (Fig. 15, arrow) so the adjustment nut can turn.
Now turn the wide adjustment nut further inwards or outwards to
increase or decrease the braking effect.
Retighten the locknut.
Repeat the procedure on the other brake if necessary.
4.7. Wheels and tyres
Your rollator is equipped with flat-proof PU wheels 192 x 48 mm.
5. Use
Walking
Make your first attempts to walk with the rollator on a flat, firm surface. Familiarise yourself with the function of the brakes. Let someone accompany you during this initial period.
For an anatomically correct gait, the push handles must be set at proper height (see sec. 4.4.).
Place yourself in the rollator so that your ankles are at the height of
the rear wheels.
Stand with good posture.
Grasp the push handles with both hands and your arms bent at a
slight angle.
When walking with the rollator try to stay as close as possible with the body to the push handles. This increases the stability and safety against tipping over; in addition, avoid a crooked back. Try to generally walk in the rollator and not behind it. Take small steps and do not push the rollator too far ahead.
You can determine the change of direction and speed by pushing the rollator. Always use the brakes to slow down your movement. The rollator could otherwise turn with the unbraked wheel and the braked wheel, and could fall over.
Go around obstacles whenever possible. Try to use ramps or take lifts. If this is not possible, the rollator must be carried over the obstacle. Find a second person to help you do this, if possible.
The seat
The rollator is also designed to be used as a seat by the user for short breaks. It is therefore equipped with a seating area. You must absolutely activate the locking brakes before sitting down. The rollator could roll

away and you could fall.
Lifting points
You can lift the rollator on the grips or frame sections, in order to carry it over obstacles or steps.
