Specifications and intended purpose

The TAiMA rollator is intended as a walking aid for persons with impaired mobility who weigh up to 150 kg. It also provides a limited seating function for temporary rest.

The rollator should be used only on firm, flat surfaces. It is not intended to be used for any other purpose – in particular as a climbing aid or to carry heavy loads. Any such use can be dangerous!

Cleaning / maintenance / reuse

Cleaning
Clean and desinfect the rollator at regular intervals. To do so, use mild soapy water with no scouring additives. You can disinfect the rollator using commercially available products. Never use steam degreasers. Never use scouring or caustic cleaning agents.

Maintenance
The TAiMA rollator requires no maintenance. If the braking function weakens, wheel movement becomes stiff or you notice any other functional impairment, please take the rollator to your specialist dealer for servicing.

Reuse by third parties
If you pass on your rollator to a new user, please remember also to hand over all the technical documentation needed to ensure safe operation. In accordance with specifications, the rollator must first be inspected, cleaned and returned to pristine condition by a specialist dealer.

Safety information

Do not hang bags on the handles as this could cause the rollator to tip over.

Use the service brake (by pulling the brake lever up) on inclines.

Only use the rollator on firm, flat surfaces.

Do not lean too heavily on the handles. Otherwise, the rollator could tip over backward.

Be careful not to trap your fingers or clothes when folding up the rollator.

Upholstered parts become hot when exposed to direct sunlight and can cause damage to the skin if you touch them. These parts should be covered over. Alternatively, keep your rollator away from direct sunlight.

Setting up/unfolding your rollator

Place the rollator in front of you in the direction of travel and put the parking brake on.

Using both hands, press the tubes on either side of the seat down to the left and right until the folding mechanism clicks into place.

Then attach the mesh bag, bag or basket to the appropriate fittings.

Brakes

Service brake (when pushing): Pull the brake lever up.

Parking brake (for parking): Press the brake lever down.

Brake settings

The brake is set correctly if there is no play in either the brake lever or the Bowden cable and if the wheels turn without rubbing or grating.

The braking strength can be adjusted using the set screw on the Bowden cable for the brake blocks on the back wheel.

Curb climber

Pressing your toe down on the extended frame makes it easier to lift the front wheels (to negotiate curbs, for example).

Grip handle adjustment

Loosen the height adjustment screw and remove it from the frame.

Adjust the push handles to the correct height.

Place the screw in the correct position and tighten it firmly.

Folding up your rollator

Loose the locking pin under the seat.

Pull the folding strip in the middle of the seat and the rollator will fold up.
