02 PRODUCT DESCRIPTION

ASSEMBLY

Place the individual parts of your rollator on the

oor. The handlebars are already connected to

the main frame by the brake cables. Place them

to the right and left of the main frame.

Unfolding the rollator

Hold the main frame by the seat's grip hole (1,

pic. 1) and position it on the oor with the front

wheels (swivel wheels). The grip hole must be

on the side facing away from you.

Bend over the main frame and grip the part of

the frame that faces away from you to unfold

the frame (2, pic. 1).

Now you can place the rollator with all four

wheels on the oor and fully unfold it by press-

ing on the seating surface.

Abb. 1

To lock the folding mechanism, fold down

the lever until it engages firmly in the guide

(1, pic. 2).

Abb. 2

NOTE

To use FAKTO+ Arthritis correctly, it must be ad-

justed to your individual size. You should have

an employee of your medical supply store or

another trained person do this.

Assamble the push handles

Loosen the clamp levers and insert the push

handle (2, pic. 3) into the vertical tubes (3, pic.

3) of the frame (1, pic. 3).

Checking for correct assembly

Now check that the rollator has been correctly

assembled:

c The rollator must stand securely on all

four wheels.

c The clamping levers on the push handles

must be securely tightened.

c The push handles must be assembled so

that they are not able to rotate.

If you are unsure as to whether the rollator

is assembled correctly, please contact your

medical supply store or an authorised specialist

retailer.

The push handles can now be adjusted to the

correct height for you.

The lowest push tube height is achieved by

moving the tubes into the frame until it blocks.

Always be aware of the “MAX” marking (4, pic.

3) when adjusting to the highest position. The

push tubes must never be xed in place any fur-

ther above the marking than at the long main

knurling (5, pic. 3).

It must also be ensured that the handles are

aligned parallel to the direction of travel.

WARNING

Fix the push tubes in place no further than the

main knurling (4, pic. 3). This is the only way of

ensuring the safe use of the rollator!

Adjustment of the push handles

The push handles must be aligned parallel to

the direction of travel (forwards/straight), as

shown in the illustration (pic. 4).

Observe the warning information on your

rollator when performing this step. (See Product

labelling section)

WARNING

Never adjust the push grips exceeding the de-

scribed range. Upon exceeding this range the

stability and safety are compromised.

TOMTAR / User manual for the FAKTO+ rollator / Version 2.0.0 EN

03 BUILD UP THE ROLLATOR

Brake and parking brake

The brakes are operated using the brake

handles mounted on the handles.

To brake while moving, pull the two brake

handles towards you evenly (1, pic. 6).

Abb. 6

To brake the rollator safely and indenitely

when stationary, for example to sit, push the

brake handle rmly down (2, pic. 6). The brake

handle engages securely and audibly in this

position. Pull the brake handle towards you to

release it. You can clearly notice that the brake

is released.

Readjusting the brakes

The adjusting screw for the brake cables can be

found on the brake handles. Unscrew (counter-

clockwise) to increase the tension and reduce

the actuation travel of the brake lever (1, pic.

7). The screw is counter-locked with a nut (2,

pic. 7). You must always tighten this counter

nut after adjustment to prevent the brake

cables from loosening unintentionally.

USING THE ROLLATOR

Make yourself sufciently familiar with your

FAKTO+ before using it for the rst time so that

you feel condent when handling it.

Folding mechanism

Abb. 5

The folding mechanism must be locked after

each unfolding. Always ensure that the

unlocking lever is properly engaged in the

lower position.

Before unlocking or folding, rstly lock the

parking brakes (see next section). First remove

the tray and basket before unlocking and

folding. Now press the unlocking lever upwards

(1, pic. 5) and push the front and rear parts of

the main frame together (2, pic. 5).

Please also refer to the "Unfolding the rollator"

chapter.

WARNING

Take care of your hands and ngers when oper-

ating the folding lock and when unfolding or

folding up the rollator! Risk of clamping!

04 USING THE ROLLATOR

Abb. 7

Readjusting the brakes at the cable

The brakes can also be readjusted using the

cable. This can be useful if the brake lever

adjustment described in the previous paragraph

is no longer effective. Here, too, you must

tighten the counter nut after adjustment has

been completed. When doing so, observe the

illustration in the “Structure of the FAKTO+”

section.

WARNING

Never fully unscrew the screw, otherwise the

brake will no longer work.

WARNING

If problems occur when adjusting the brakes,

please contact an authorised specialist retailer!

This is the only way of ensuring the safe use of

the rollator.
