Dietz TAiMA XC - Rollator Manual

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!

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 backwards.

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.

Before using your rollator, make sure the locking pin is correctly engaged and the rollator can not fold up randomly.

Always lock both brakes before sitting on your rollator.

If your TAiMA is equipped with air tires, please check all 4 wheels for correct tire pressure regularly - > Option Air Tires The maximum load for the shopping bag is 5kg.

Setting up / unfolding your rollator

Place the rollator in front of you in the direction of travel.

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

The rollator must never be used unless the locking pin A is properly engaged.

Folding up your rollator

Release the locking pin A by pulling it slightly backwards and pull up the seat by it´s folding strap.
The rollator will now fold up automatically.

Grip handle adjustment

Loosen screw B and remove it completely.
Adjust the grip handles to the height desired.
Place screw B back in it´s hole and tighten it firmly.

Brake adjustment

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

The braking power can be adjusted using the set screw C of the Bowden cable on the brake blocks of the back wheels.

Walking with your rollator

Position yourself inside the rollator. Grab the handgrips with both hands. As soon as you stand safely, you can loosen the parking brakes.

• Do not push the rollator too far in front of you. In order to give good support, the rollator should be kept close to your body.
• Control your speed by gently applying both brakes evenly.
• Walk upright and look forwards to be able to avoid any upcoming obstacles early. Walking backwards with your rollator is difficult, and not recommended.

Braking

To reduce speed while walking just pull both levers evenly and gently upwards. Always apply the same amount of power on both brake levers.

To lock the brakes, push the levers downwards. The brake levers will lock audibly into place. To release the brakes just pull the lever upwards again.

Curb climber

To make climbing curbs easier you can lift the front wheels by pushing the rubber cap at the very end of the rollator frame downwards with your foot. Make sure to stand securely before using the curb climber.

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 a service.

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.

Optional air tires

In case you choose air tires for your TAiMA, please make sure the wheels are always pumped to the correct tire pressure. Low tire pressure will reduce the braking power of your hand brake.

The correct tire pressure is 2.0 - 2.5 Bar / 30 - 35 PSI
