Cleaning & Care Information
Cleaning your
KidWalk
When cleaning the
KidWalk
we recommend that
you use only warm water and a nonabrasive de-
tergent or a neutral disinfectant. Never use organ-
ic solvents or dry cleaning fluids.
Upholstery and fabrics:
1. The upholstery and fabrics can be cleaned by
hand while in place. When cleaning we recom-
mend that you use only warm water and a nona-
brasive detergent.
2. Staining should be removed as quickly as possi-
ble with absorbent cloth, towels or a sponge.
Routine soap and warm water sponging is effec-
tive for ordinary soiling and minor spills.
3. Antiseptic cleaning agents can be used on more
stubborn stains. These may require a safe solvent
such as Isopropyl Alcohol
4. Always ensure the product is dry before use.
Metal and plastic components
1. Soap and water or antibacterial spray can be
used for daily cleaning.
2. For deep cleaning a low pressure steam cleaner
can be used.
3. Do not use solvents to clean plastic or metal
components.
4. Make sure the product is dry before use.
Daily Product Inspection
(Therapists, parents & caregivers)
We recommend that daily visual checks of the
equipment are carried out by therapists, caregivers
or parents to ensure the product is safe for use. The
recommend daily checks are detailed below.
1. Check the mast is secured to the base frame and
the pin is in the locked position.
Mast Lock Pin
and Knob must be in it’s locked position at all
times during use.
2. Ensure all adjustment knobs and bolts are in
place and secure.
3. Check all upholstery for signs of wear and tear.
4. Check that the wheels are moving freely, wheel
locks function properly, wheels lock securely and
that the axle is fully engaged and wheel assembly
and axles are locked to the frame.
5. Check all Velcro strips and brush fluff to ensure
straps secure firmly. If in any doubt to the contin-
ued safe use of your
KidWalk
product or if any
parts should fail, please cease using the product and
contact our customer services department or your
local dealer as soon as possible.
6. Make sure anti-tippers or cruiser wheels are in
place and adjusted properly.
7. Anti-tippers or Cruiser Wheels must be installed
and used at all times while KidWalk is in use.
8. Anti-tips or Cruiser Wheels must be properly
adjusted to the correct position that matches the
position of the large wheels. See page 6 for addi-
tional information.
9. Ensure that the load compensating spring is ad-
justed correctly and functioning properly as this
provides shock absorption to the
KidWalk
mast
and body support system. See page 12 for adjust-
ment information.
General Maintenance:
Inspect all nuts and bolts weekly and verify
that they are tight and secured properly.
Keep all moving parts free of dirt and grime to
allow for free movement.
