Inspection / Service / Repairs
The lifespan of the rollator is influenced by
its use, storage, maintenance, service and
cleaning.
Before you resume use of the rollator, it
should be inspected on following points:
•
Completeness.
•
Folding mechanism.
•
Bolt and nuts regularly; on tightness.
•
Check castors (stability, tracking, fixing
screws).
In case of regular contact with wires,
hair or other residues, the wheels may
get blocked. Check regularly that the
wheels rotate freely and that they are in
good condition.
•
Frame (deformation, stability,
connections).
•
Handgrip (safe locking of height
adjustment system, good support of
handgrips).
