With the brakes off, lift the two ‘braked’ wheels off the ground and spin to ensure they turn freely.
If either of the braked wheels rub onto the brake arm, please check obstructions and repeat the
brake adjustment procedure above.

It is important that you check brake adjustments on a regular basis to take into account wear and
tear. However, brake adjustment must be checked at least once a month and definitely prior to a
change of user.
CARE, MAINTENANCE AND YOUR OBLIGATION
1.
Only use your Aidapt Rollator for the purpose for which is intended, which is as an aid to walking.
It is intended your rollator is only used on standard pavements or at home. It should not be used
on rough terrain or pot-holed surfaces. The use of your Rollator on these surfaces can seriously
compromise your safety and may damage your Rollator beyond repair.
2.
Keep your Aidapt Rollator clean by wiping down with a damp cloth with a mild detergent. Do not
under any circumstances use an abrasive or solvent-based cleaner, as this will damage the Rollator
and void your warranty.
3.
Wipe off all surfaces with a dry cloth and use a water dispersing agent such as WD40 on all metal
joints.
4.
Check that all wheels and the folding mechanism function correctly and that all wheels move freely
and without obstruction.
Withdraw your Aidapt Rollator immediately if any of the wheels become difficult to turn or if
you suspect damage or any other fault.
5.
Monthly checks – check that the side locking levers are poorly secure
(fig. 5)
. Check the adjustment
to your brakes
(fig. 14)
. Ensure that the brakes are correctly adjusted with 3mm between both tyres
and brake(s), check castors.
