 Adjusting the brakes

The brakes should be adjusted so that 
they brake all wheels equally. The distance 
between the brake block and the brake should 
be about 2 mm. When the parking brake is 
applied, the brake block should not press in to 
the rubber of the wheel, as this can damage 
the wheel.

•  Loosen the locking nut 

.

•  Adjust the brake by screwing the cable 

adjuster nut 

 inwards or outwards. 

•  Test the brakes by spinning the wheel and 

squeezing the brake levers. 
The wheels should run easily

Maintenance

Maintenance described in this section can be 
carried out by the user. Other maintenance 
work should be carried out by qualifi ed 
personnel at the supplier in your municipality 
or at the technical aids centre. For information 
about repairs and servicing, please contact 
the technical aids centre in your county.

Washing the frame

The frame should be washed regularly with 
warm soapy water. If the frame is very dirty, 
a degreasing agent may be used. The frame 
may be washed with a high-pressure hose. If 
you use this method, avoid directly spraying 
the ball bearings. Dry the rollator thoroughly 
after washing it or after it has been used 
in rainy conditions. If a degreasing agent 
is used, moving parts should be greased 
afterwards.

Cleaning the brakes

Clean the brake blocks and brake springs 
regularly.

Cleaning the basket

The basket can be removed and washed 
separately. Machine wash 40°, hand wash 40° 
or disinfection.
To disinfect; use approved chemical 
disinfectant. Do not use heat disinfection.

Conditions that could damage the 
rollator

The rollator should not be used at 
temperatures below -35 °C or above 60 
°C. No specifi c requirements are made in 
connection with humidity or air pressure. 
No further requirements are made regarding 
storage conditions.

Screws and nuts

Screws and nuts can become loose over 
time. Therefore, remember to check and if 
necessary retighten all screws and nuts on a 
regular basis. A thread-locking product, such 
as Loctite Blue No. 243, may be used. 
If self-locking nuts have been removed they 
lose some of their locking ability and should 
be replaced.

Locking mechanism

If the locking mechanism for folding/unfolding 
becomes stiff after a period of time, we 
recommend lubricating the surfaces with 
Vaseline.
