Safety〈〈
- Both brakes should be locked in parking mode before you use the seat.
- Before you start walking with the Walker, make sure it’s completely unfolded.
- Be extra careful in steep terrain and on slanting ground.
- The stability of the Veloped is tested with a basket load of 5 kg. If you load additional weight to the basket, make sure to distribute the weight evenly in the basket.
Correct Grip Height〈〈
How to set the correct height of your rollator
Many rollator users set the grips too high, thinking that it will promote a more upright posture. But this actually worsens the posture, and it affects the stability negatively.
You can determine the correct grip height by doing as follows, as recommended by all physiotherapists and all rollator manufacturers:
- Stand upright with your back as straight as possible, with your shoes on and with your arms hanging in a relaxed state along your body (elbow slightly bent).
- Measure the vertical distance from the floor to the wrist bone = recommended grip height.
With the grips at wrist height:
- You do not have to raise your shoulders, and you can unload a greater part of your body weight.
- You can walk closer to the hand grips, which results in a more upright body posture.
- A more vertical weight distribution (downwards) improves both the stability and the brake performance.
First Time Use 〈〈
1. To unfold the Walker, pull the two hand grips away from each other.
2. Grab the right grip with your right hand and lift the right front- and right rear wheel off the ground. With the right wheels lifted, lock the Walker in Walking mode by pressing the left rear corner of the seat distinctly downwards. You should hear a “click” when the Walker locks into walking mode.
3. Before using the walker, make sure that the unfolding mechanism has locked securely in place.
NOTE: It is important that you lift the right wheels off the ground, so that the right front wheel freely can turn into its aligned position.
4. Open the quick-release levers and adjust the grip height as described on page 7 in the chapter “Grip Height Adjustment”.
Parking Brake 〈〈
You can engage the parking brake in 3 different ways.
Option 1: Push the lower red parking trigger downwards with your index finger, while you pull the brake lever at the same time. Make sure that the parking brake is engaged, and that the Walker does not move.
Option 2: Pull the upper red parking trigger rearwards with your thumb, while you pull the brake lever at the same time. Make sure that the parking brake is engaged.
Option 3: Use both hands. Pull the upper red parking trigger rearwards with one hand, while you pull the brake lever with your other hand. Make sure that the parking brake is engaged.
To release the parking brake, brake in the same manner as for using the motion brake.
Grip Height Adjustment 〈〈
1. Release the quick-release lever positioned just above the seat by folding it outwards horizontally.
2. Slide the hand grip up-/downwards to your preferred grip height.
3. Lock the hand grip at the chosen height by folding the quick-release lever to its closed position.
NOTE: Do not operate the quick-release levers like wing nuts or screws.
Grip Angle Adjustment 〈〈
The angle of the grips can be adjusted so that you get a comfortable hand position and an optimal support.
1. Loosen the screw on the rear end of the grip with a 4 mm Allen key.
2. Turn/rotate the grip to your chosen angle, and lock it in place by tightening the screw again.
Unfolding the Walker 〈〈
1. To unfold the Walker, pull the two hand grips away from each other.
2.Grab the right grip with your right hand and lift the right front- and right rear wheel off the ground. With the right wheels lifted, lock the Walker in Walking mode by pressing the left rear corner of the seat distinctly downwards. You should hear a “click” when the Walker locks into walking mode.
3. Before using the Walker, make sure that the unfolding mechanism has locked securely in place.
NOTE: It is important that you lift the right wheels off the ground, so that the right front wheel freely can turn into its aligned position.
NOTE! Always engage both parking brakes before you use the seat.
Detaching the Front Wheels 〈〈
1. Open the quick-release on the front wheel by folding it outwards.
2. Unscrew the nut on the inside of the fork a bit, so that the wheel can be detached from the fork.
3. Remove the front wheel from the fork.
4. NOTE: Do not operate the quick-release levers like wing nuts or screws.
Attaching the Front Wheels 〈〈
1. Enter the front wheel into the fork, with the quick-release lever positioned on the outside of the Walker.
2. Tighten the nut on the inside of the fork, so that the quick-release gets correctly tensioned when closed.
3. Close the quick-release on the front wheel by folding it inwards. Make sure that the quick-release lever is correctly closed, preferably in a position behind the fork when seen in the traveling direction of the Walker.
4. NOTE: Do not operate the quick-release levers like wing nuts or screws.
Removing/Installing the Rear Wheels 〈〈
The rear wheels are removable to simplify transportation of the Walker.
1. To detach the wheel, press the black button at the centre of the wheel and pull the wheel off.
2. To attach the wheel, press the black button at the centre of the wheel and push the wheel axle into the axle hole. Release the button when the axle is in its end position.
3. Hold the tire and push/pull the wheel back and forth laterally to check if the wheel is properly secured.
