9.1.2 Maintenance tasks
To ensure smooth operation at all times, users or attendants with some technical skills can maintain some parts of
the product:
•
Particles of dirt and hair accumulate on the caster wheel axle and threaded axle of the caster fork over time.
This makes the steering stiffer. Regularly remove dirt and oil the axles. See the section “Approach in case of
stiffness”.
•
The rear wheels are equipped with a quick-release axle system as standard equipment. To keep this system
operational, ensure that no dirt adheres to the quick-release axle or receiver bushing. Periodically lubricate the
quick-release axle lightly with thin, resin-free oil (sewing machine oil).
•
The piston rods of the springs should be lightly oiled with a resin-free, thin oil regularly (Kimba Neo only).
•
If the rehab buggy gets wet, it should be rubbed dry again.
•
Screw connections must be periodically checked for tightness, especially during the initial period of use or
after making adjustments to the rehab buggy. If a screw connection loosens repeatedly, contact the qualified
personnel promptly.
