Reconditioning Manual (ENG)

To ensure that your walking aid is functioning 

properly and safely, an annual inspection 

should be done only by an authorized agent. 

The following maintenance should be done 

regularly:

 Cleaning

In accordance with local regulations 

where required, cleaning may be done 

by industrial washing at 60 degrees for 

10 minutes.  Pressure washing must only 

be done in a controlled environment 

by professional cleaners.  Do not 

wash the bearings with a pressure 

washer.  Regular cleaning with a mild 

liquid detergent or damp cloth is 

recommended.  DO NOT use any toxic 

cleaning materials on the product as it 

will damage it.

Wash only using an industrial 

washer/sterilizer (see image) 

Note! Do NOT use thinner, petrol or other 

solvents.

  Post treatment 

Should cleaning be performed in an 

industrial setting, ensure all connections, 

spaces and holes are dried completely 

before usage.  Lubricate any moving 

parts.  For home cleaning (wiping with a 

damp cloth), ensure the rollator is free 

of residue moisture to avoid rusting its 

components.

 Finish

The rollator is painted and sealed for a 

superior finish, however scratches can 

occur with impact.  Scratches in the 

frame may result in corrosion. 

  Corrosive components 

The rollator does contain components 

that may rust if left in a moisture 

setting.  Periodically check all welding 

points and screws.  It is recommended 

that an authorized agent perform this 

inspection.  If corrosion is present, 

replace parts.  If corrosion is extensive, 

replace rollator.

  Periodic inspections 

At minimum, it is recommended that 

an authorized agent perform an annual 

inspection of the rollator and its 

components to ensure it is functioning 

as intended. Do not use the rollator 

if any components are damaged or 

inoperable.  Have an authorized agent 

perform necessary repair and/or 

replacement.

  Handle grip

Periodic replacement of the handle grip 

may be necessary with usage.  Replace 

as required. 

  Braking system

The brakes should function in both the 

control and park position and the wires 

should be intact.  Should these control 

functions not operate as intended, cease 

usage and immediately have the rollator 

repaired.
