Drive® Slow-Down Brakes for Side-Fold Rollators — Pair
The Drive® Slow-Down Brakes for Side-Fold Rollators provide adjustable rolling resistance for compatible Airgo® eXcursion and Fusion side-fold rollators with 8-inch wheels. The pair allows resistance to be applied to both rear wheels or adjusted on one side to help correct gait.
Verified OEM Reference: Drive identifies the Slow-Down Brakes for Side-Fold as Item #730-942, supplied as 1 pair. They fit Airgo eXcursion and Fusion models and are not compatible with eXcursion6 because of its 6-inch wheels. Drive also states they are retro-compatible with all revisions and work best with newer low-profile wheels.

Why Choose Drive® Slow-Down Brakes?
Slow-down brakes add controlled resistance to the rear wheels of a compatible side-fold rollator. This can help prevent the rollator from moving too quickly, particularly when the user needs additional control over rolling speed.
The resistance is adjustable, allowing pressure to be applied to both sides or to one side when a gait correction is required. The low-profile design is intended to preserve the rollator's side-folding function.

Drive's official documentation names eXcursion and Fusion models as compatible and specifically excludes eXcursion6. The product title in your store also says “Explore,” but Drive's current official documentation does not list an Explore model for this accessory, so I have not claimed Explore compatibility.

Usage and Safety Information
Confirm the exact rollator model and wheel size before installation. These brakes are intended for compatible side-fold models with 8-inch wheels and are not compatible with eXcursion6.
Install and adjust the brakes according to Drive's instructions. Set resistance gradually and verify that the rollator still moves and brakes normally before regular use.
Slow-down brakes are designed to add rolling resistance; they are not a substitute for the rollator's normal hand-operated parking brakes. Engage the parking brakes whenever the user is sitting, transferring or leaving the rollator unattended.
Inspect the brake modules, mounting hardware and rear wheels regularly. Do not use the rollator if a brake is loose, damaged or preventing safe wheel movement.
