TOPRO TROJA M Manual De Instrucciones página 8

• The walker is not a toy.
• Make sure that the lock wheel for height adjustment for the handles is locked tight.
• Be aware! Some parts of the rollator might feel hot or cold when exposed to extreme temperatures.
Important to know about safety when in use
• When stationary or parked, always use the parking brakes on both sides A
• Before sitting on the seat, make sure the parking brakes on both sides are in the locked position A
• Do not lean or bend sideways or over the back of the rollator whilst in the seated position.
• The driving brakes can be held in a little B to reduce speed, but must not be in locked position when the
walker is in motion.
• To give the right support and a safety, make sure the walker is kept as close to your body as possible C
• Walk straight, look forward and hold your backside in D. That is the easiest way to keep your balance.
• Do not push the walker too far from your body as this can cause unnecessary strain and you could fall.
• Be careful of flared skirts and trousers as they could get caught between the brake block and wheel,
which could lead to falling. We therefore recommend not wearing flared/wide clothing.
Assembling / adjusting
TOPRO TROJA is delivered assembled. Before use, you must unfold the rollator. The height of the handlebar
tubes will then need adjusting to suit the users needs.
Unfolding / folding
Unfolding: Loosen the strap between the forearm supports A. Loosen the lock clamp that is over the seat bars B.
Press the seat bars down and out C The side frames will slide apart. Press down the seat bars. You will hear a
clicking sound. The rollator is now locked in its open position. Fasten the strap A.
Folding: Pull the strap on the seat D and press the side frames together. Lock the clamp E over the seat bars.
Adjusting the handles and height adjustment of the forearm supports
Adjusting the handles: Unscrew the lock wheel A until the handle can be moved, adjust to the wanted position
and tighten the lock wheel again. It is done separately on each side. It is not possible to pull the handles all the
way out; there are physical stops both ways. Height adjustment: Unscrew the lock wheel B (approx. 4-5 turns).
Adjust the forearm support tubes to a suitable height, then pull them slightly up and down C until you hear a
clicking sound. Tighten the lock B again. Adjust both handlebars to the same height. Recommended height:
Stand with relaxed shoulders with your elbows in a 90 degree angle, see illustration 2.
Height adjustment using the memory function
You have the opportunity to set the height of the forearm supports at a standard setting fitting to your height so
that you easily can find the same height again. This can be necessary when the walker is being transported or
stored as compact as possible. Decide the height of the forearm support tube. Count visible holes at the back of
the tubes. Unscrew the lock wheel A. Pull the tube B out of the frame. The attached part C will now follow the
tube. Move the attached part C on the tube B so there are equal holes as counted earlier. Fit the memory chip D
on the tube in the first available hole under the attached part C. Push the tube B down and into the side frame E
until the attached part is locked. Screw the lock wheel A half in. Pull the tube B up until it stops, and then tighten
the lock wheel A properly. From now on, when the forearm support tubes are in the lowest position, they will stop
in the preset position automatically when pulled up.
Adjusting / checking and maintaining the brakes
Adjusting / checking: Loosen the nut A beside the brake. Tighten the brake wire B with the adjustment screw C.
Adjust both brake blocks so the distance to the wheel surface is approximately 2 mm D. Make sure the brakes
are not adjusted too tight and pressing into the rubber when the parking brake is on.
Maintaining: Clean the brake block E and the brake spring F frequently. The wheels can be changed if they are
worn out or damaged.
Using the brakes
Make sure the brakes work before each trip. Each brake handle A works on each of the rear wheels.
The rollator wheels are made of a special soft rubber which gives an optimal braking capacity on slippery floor.
Wrong use can cause unsafe situations and damage to the walker: The walker must not be driven or pushed
with force when the parking brakes are on or when the wheels are partly locked using the brakes. This
indicates incorrect use and can cause wear and tear which makes the tires and brake quality weaker.
Parking brakes: Push both brake levers A forwards until they lock. Both rear wheels are now locked. Pull the
