Adjusting the height for correct posture
Setting the correct height (Figure 12) is crucial for an optimal use of the Rollz
Motion. The height can be adjusted in between the minimum and maximum positions. This way the Rollz Motion can easily be adapted to individual needs.
a. Loosen the adjustment handles on the handles counterclockwise
(Figure 13 and 14).

Figure 14: Rotate counterclockwise.
Figure 15: Set the correct height.
b. Slide the handles to the correct height (Figure 15).
c. To determine the correct height, stand between the Rollz Motion handles
with your arms hanging near the body. The handles should be at the height
of your wrists (Figure 12).
d. Check whether both handles are at the same height using the height
indexation.
e. Make sure the handles are positioned in a straight line above the frame of
the Rollz Motion, pointing forward.
f. Turn the adjustment handles clockwise to tighten them (Figure 16A
and 16B).
e. Place the adjustment handles vertically so that they point straight down.
You do this by gently pulling the adjustment handle outwards and turning it
to the correct position (Figure 17).

English
CAUTION
Always set both handles at the same height to maintain stability. When height is
incorrectly set, this may cause imbalance that may increase the risk of injury. If
the rollator is not adjusted to the correct height, it can lead to neck or back pain.
Walking with the Rollz Motion
Thanks to the ergonomic design, you can walk upright, stable and comfortable
with the Rollz Motion.
a. First make sure the handles are adjusted to the correct height. See above in
Adjusting the height for correct posture.
b. While walking, stand in between the handles and, if necessary, lean on the
Rollz Motion. This way you walk as close as possible to the walker, which
offers the most support (Figure 18).
c. Keep your arms and hands relaxed, that prevents too much tension.
d. Keep an eye on your surroundings. Do not focus your eyes downwards, but
forwards, which improves the balance.
CAUTION
While you walk with the rollator, keep looking in front of you to determine a safe
route.
57
WARNING
Prevent yourself from driving one or all the wheels in a hole or an uneven terrain.
The rollator could tilt diagonally forwards and you might fall. The rollator could get
damaged as well.
Operating the brakes
The Rollz Motion has advanced drum brakes that work in all weather conditions.
The brakes are easy to operate and can provide varied braking power. The harder
you squeeze the brakes, the more you brake. The brakes can be locked when
you park the Rollz Motion so that it does not roll away. Test the braking power
regularly, especially before the first use, to experience how they work.
a. While walking, keep the fingers loosely around the handles (Figure 19).
You can also keep them around the hand brakes, with your thumb on the
inside of the handle.
b. Squeeze the hand brakes for braking (Figure 20).
c. Do you want to use the parking brake to make sure the rollator does not
roll away? First squeeze the hand brakes and simultaneously squeeze the
parking brake levers. Then release the brakes. Your walker is now in the
parking position (Figure 21).
d. To remove the walker from the parking position, squeeze the hand brakes
again and release them (Figure 22). The rollator is not in parking position
anymore.

WARNING
When you walk and you press the brakes too hard, the Rollz Motion can stop too
quickly.
Resting on the Rollz Motion
The Rollz Motion rollator gives support when walking. If you want to take a break,
you can also sit on it.
a. Always apply the parking brake before attempting to sit (see Operating
the brakes), otherwise the Rollz Motion can roll away while attempting
to sit on it or while sitting on it.
b. Sit down on the rollator seat from the rear (Figure 23). Always ensure
that the Rollz Motion walker is in the parking position.
English
Figure 23: Sitting on the rollator seat.
CAUTION
The walker is not suitable for moving yourself around whilst sitting. It is not designed for this purpose. You could fall while doing this, with all the associated risks.
Using the bag
a. You can reach into the bag under the seat from the rear of the Rollz Motion.
b. The bag can carry a maximum weight of 10 kg.
c. When the bag is empty, it can remain attached when folding the frame.
59
NOTE
Do not overload the bag.
Going over thresholds and curbs
To easily get on pavements up to a height of around 15 cm, or over thresholds,
the Rollz Motion has two curb assistants.
a. Place the Rollz Motion rollator with the front wheels against the threshold or
curb.
b. Push the left or right curb assistant (Figure 24) down with your left or
right foot, while tilting the Rollz Motion towards you with your hands. This
way, the front wheels get off the ground. Now push the Rollz Motion forward
until you are clearly on the curb or over the threshold with the front wheels
(Figure 25).
c. Place the front wheels onto the sidewalk or ground.
d. Then push the walker further forward until the rear wheels are also
completely on the pavement or over the threshold.
Figure 24: Use the curb assistant.

FROM ROLLATOR TO TRANSPORT CHAIR
The Rollz Motion is delivered with the transport chair package included. This
package can be attached to the Rollz Motion for departure (Figure 26). This allows the rollator to be transformed into a transport chair on the road, in less than
a minute. You only need to pull up the transport chair package, place the footrests
on the frame and turn the handles. Then you can sit in the transport chair. The
transport chair can be turned into a walker again just as easily.
To be used as a transport chair, someone needs to push it. A user who does not
have somebody else accompanying him, cannot use the Rollz Motion as a transport chair. However, the user can sit comfortably in it.
English
CAUTION
The Rollz Motion transport chair can carry a maximum weight of 125 kg or 275
lbs. This transport chair is intended to be used by only one person at a time.
When multiple persons are sitting on the transport chair or rollator, the Rollz
Motion can be damaged.
WARNING
During transport in a wheelchair accessible taxi, bus, train or other vehicle, the
user cannot remain seated in the Rollz Motion transport chair. The transport chair
is not intended for this use.

NOTE
Do not apply force when pulling up the transport chair package does not go
smoothly. This can damage the transport chair package. Contact your supplier if
the problem continues after several attempts.
CAUTION
Before you sit down, always check that the locking bolts are correctly secured in
the guide rails. Do not sit down if one of the locking bolts is not secured. Instead,
try to place the seat again.
Setting the footrests (once only)
The Rollz Motion is supplied with two adjustable footrests. You can adjust them to
the desired height with the supplied size 5 Allen key (Figure 41).
The correct height depends on the length of the lower leg and the way the user
sits. If the footrests are set too high, there will be too much pressure on the buttocks. If the footrests are set too low, the pressure on the upper legs is too high.
In a correct position, the user sits with his lower legs at an angle of about 90
degrees (Figure 42).
65
Figure 41: Adjusting the height of the
footrests with an Allen key size 5.
Figure 42: Good sitting position in the
wheelchair.
Setting the backrest (once only)
Adjustment straps are placed in the backrest of the Rollz transport chair package.
For optimal seating comfort, it is important to adjust these adjustment straps to
the user. It is only necessary to do this for the first use - or if the user has undergone major changes in weight.
a. Turn the Rollz Motion into a transport chair (Figure 40) and remove the
footrests from the transport chair package bag.
b. Pull up the bag of the transport chair package and the backrest cover from
the bottom (Figure 43). The adjustment straps are now clearly visible
(Figure 44).
c. Adjust the straps by pulling off the Velcro and fastening it again to the
desired setting (Figure 45).
d. In most cases, the lower straps will be adjusted looser than the upper two
straps (Figure 46). Attach the Velcro so that the user’s pelvis is properly
upright, and the backrest supports the back well.
e. Put down the backrest cover and the transport chair package bag.
f. Try out if the user can comfortably sit in a correct sitting position (Figure 47).

holders. Put them back into the bag of the Rollz transport chair package,
mirrored to each other (Figure 48).
b. Grasp the handle of the transport chair package and push the backrest
forward till halfway the frame. Then push the backrest back and down until
it gets behind the seat. Then the transport chair package is folded.
c. Loosen the adjustment handles counterclockwise and turn the handles
through the outside until they point straight forward. Set the correct height
for you and tighten the adjustment handles clockwise. See Adjusting
the height for correct posture.
d. The transport chair package stays in place when folded and the rollator can
be used to walk.
Removing the transport chair package
a. Pull up the red handle without force. This way the locking bolts are tied in,
and the transport chair package unlocked (Figure 49).
b. Hold the handle of the transport chair package and pull it up without force.
c. Then push down the red handle.
d. The package can now be stored aside, for example when transporting the
Rollz Motion in a car. The footrests remain inside.
68
USING AS TRANSPORT CHAIR
Matching your pace
Whoever sits in the transport chair and is being pushed for the first time, will
need time to get used to it. Same goes for the pusher. It is best to constantly
coordinate with the person in the transport chair about the pace and the route to
be taken. This way you both get used to the new situation. Walk slow, so you can
adjust in time.
Safety instructions
English
CAUTION
Ensure the straps in the backrest are properly adjusted (see Setting the
backrest). If the seat depth is large enough, the weight of the person is placed
as far back in the seat as possible. That is safer for the user but also easier for
the pusher to push.
In the dark or with heavy rainfall, visibility on the road can be obstructed. Look
together for the best and safest walking route. Good visibility and sight are
important.
WARNING
• Do not drive into a hole or uneven terrain. The transport chair might tilt with
the person sitting in it.
• Do not collide hard against ledges or elevations. The person sitting in the
transport chair might be launched out of it.
• While walking with the transport chair, look carefully ahead to determine a
safe route.
• Attention: do not push the transport chair off the pavement or any unevenness facing forward. This can be dangerous because the person in the
transport chair might topple over. Turn the transport chair around and go
backwards off the pavement.
Going up a curb
To go up a curb onto a pavement (Figure 50):
a. Place the front wheels of the wheelchair against the curb.
69
b. Squeeze the brakes, take a small step back and carefully tilt the wheelchair
towards you. This way the front wheels lift off the ground. It goes easier
when the pusher presses the curb assistant down with one foot.
c. Release the brakes. Drive the transport chair on the rear wheels forward,
until the front wheels are above the pavement. Step forward.
d. Gently lower the front wheels on the pavement, drive a little forward and
push until the rear wheels are on the pavement as well.
e. Squeeze the brake and step onto the pavement yourself.
It is often easier to use the dropdown of the curb of the pavement (if any).
Going off the pavement safely
To go down a curb from the pavement (Figure 51):
a. Look carefully ahead to choose the smoothest route possible.
b. Carefully approach curbs, height differences or uneven terrain.
c. When going down a curb, the pusher turns the wheelchair and slowly drives
backwards off the curb.
d. This way, the person who sits leans against the backrest when the move is
done.

WARNING
If the pusher suddenly moves forward with the transport chair from a curb or ledge
that is higher than about 3 cm, the person in the transport chair can be launched
forward and even fall out. This can also happen if the pusher hits a ridge hard.
Therefore, prevent yourself from driving or crashing into an obstruction.
Also avoid holes in the pavement or potholes in the road surface. One of the front
wheels can end up abruptly in a hole that causes the wheelchair to unexpectedly
tip over. The disproportionate amount of force on one of the front wheels might
also damage the suspension. So be careful and choose a safe route.

Slopes
The transport chair is intended for use on a hard, level surface. It is more difficult
to keep a course on roads slightly sloping sideways. The slope should certainly
not be too strong to prevent tilting (Figure 52).
CAUTION
• The sideways slope angle
must not exceed 15°. If
the lateral angle is bigger
there is a risk of tipping
over with the transport
chair.
• If you walk up a slope,
pushing can be tough. If
the pusher wants to pause, put the transport chair
on the parking brake.
• Be very careful when
walking down a slope. The
pusher must brake gently
to prevent it from going
too fast.
• Be sure not to drive on too
steep slopes.
Figure 52: The maximum lateral slope angle is 15°.

Adjusting the brakes
By using the Rollz Motion, the brakes can wear out. As a result, it may be
necessary to readjust the brakes. When the brakes are correctly adjusted, you
prevent problems and can make optimal use of them.Check the brakes regularly,
preferably before each use. When the Rollz Motion is on parking brake, the
wheels should not turn. When the hand brakes are released, the Rollz Motion
should not be slowed down.
If the brakes do not work properly, they can be adjusted in two ways: at the top
and bottom of the brake cable (Figure 56). The adjustment at the top of the
brake cable (just below the height adjustment handle) is for fine-tuning, so the
performance of the brake can be set a little tighter. The adjustment at the bottom
of the brake cable (near the rear wheels) is for a more radical adjustment. Make
sure that both the left and right brakes are properly adjusted.
Brake adjustment at the top of the brake cable
You can tighten the brakes using the brake adjustment at the top.
a. The Rollz Motion must not be on the parking brakes while adjusting the
brakes.
b. First loosen the locking ring (pull the cable down to make it easier). This
gives you the space to tighten or loosen the adjustment screw under it
(Figure 56).
c. Tighten the locking ring again and check if the brake provides the desired
braking force.
d. Do the same on the other side and check if both brakes offer the same
resistance.

screws at the top and bottom of the brake cable.

(dark orange) and the adjusting screw, detail.
English
Brake adjustment at the bottom of the brake cable
If you need to tighten the brakes more than what the top adjustment will allow,
you can further adjust using the bottom brake adjustment.
a. The Rollz Motion should not be on the parking brakes while adjusting the
brakes.
b. Stay at the rear of the Rollz Motion when adjusting the brakes. Loosen the
locking ring at the bottom of the brake cable (pull the cable up to make
it easier). Turn the adjustment screw above it to shorten or extend the
brake cable (Figure 58). Turn clockwise for more braking power, and
counterclockwise for less braking power.
c. When the brake has the desired force, tighten the locking ring.
d. Do the same on the other side.
e. Check whether the braking force on the left and right side is evenly
distributed.
CAUTION
If the brakes do not function properly after adjusting them, contact your supplier
immediately and do not use the Rollz Motion.

Figure 59: Inflating the pneumatic tires.
Inflating the pneumatic tires
(of the Rollz Motion Performance)
The Rollz Motion has solid rubber tires made of PU and EVA foam, while the Rollz
Motion Performance has four pneumatic tires.These pneumatic tires need to be
provided with extra air regularly for optimal usage (Figure 59). The inner tubes
are equipped with Schrader valves, also known as car valves. Always bring the
included pump with you on the road to use it if necessary. It fits in the bag of the
wheelchair package.
About two pumps per band are usually enough to get the recommended
pressure. Both rear tires must have a maximum pressure of 2.5 bar (≈ 2.5
atmospheres or 35 PSI or 240 kPa). The front tires may have a maximum
pressure of 4.5 bar (≈ 4.5 atmospheres or 65 PSI or 450 kPa). Do not inflate
them too hard.
NOTE
Check frequently whether the tires still have enough air. If pushing the Rollz
Motion becomes harder, than the tires are too soft.
CAUTION
Do not inflate the tires over the advised pressure because they could explode
under high pressure.
78
Replacing of parts
Wearable parts, like handles’ foam, tires, brake cables and the seat cushion, are
