How to adjust the brakes
The following information is designed to assist you with the adjustment of your NOVA
Handbrake System. Note: The braking system on your new NOVA rollator has been preset
from the factory. To maintain this preset position, be sure that the tension adjustment screw
locking nuts are tight against the housing and the rear wheels. If you are still having difculty
with your brakes, you can adjust them by doing the following:
To Tighten the Brakes
Turn the tension adjustment screw counter clockwise, this will allow the brake shoe to get
closer to the wheel. Continue until you reach the desired tension.
To Loosen the Brakes
Turn the tension adjustment screw clockwise, this will allow the brake shoe to rise away from
the wheel. Continue until you reach the desired tension. Tighten the nut back down so that
it is tight against the top of the brake pad after you have achieved the desired tension.
