Fixing and Maintenance Instructions
CARE AND MAINTENANCE & YOUR OBLIGATION
1.
Only use your Tri-Walker for the purpose for which it is intended, which is an aid to walking. It is
intended that your Tri-Walker is only used on standard pavements, or at home and should not
be used on rough terrain or pot holed surfaces. The use of your Tri-Walker on these surfaces can
seriously compromise your safety.
2.
Check that all wheels and the folding mechanism function correctly and that all wheels move
freely. Pay particular attention to the front wheel, ensuring that it rotates freely and without
obstruction.
3.
Check the central locking bracket
(see fig. 10)
, always ensure that this is securely in place before
using.
Withdraw your Tri-Walker immediately if the central locking bracket will not locate or if any of
the wheels become difficult to turn or wobble or if you suspect damage or any other fault.
4.
Monthly checks – check that the side locking levels are properly secure
(fig. 1(b))
a) Check that no components are loose.
b) Check the brakes; ensure that the brakes are correctly
adjusted.
Do not fit any parts or accessories to your Tri-Walker
manufactured by any other company. To do so will annul your
warranty and, may seriously compromise your safety.
5.
We suggest that you check your Tri-Walker visually every day.
However, we recommend that you should have your Tri-Walker
serviced every three months or less if used or issued to various
users. Servicing should be carried out at an approved service
station or directly by Aidapt.
4.
If the brake handles are fully adjusted and more tightening is required refer to
(fig. 9)
where further
adjustment can be made.
5.
After adjustment, check the park brakes by pushing down on the brake handles, ensuring that both
brakes lock in the park position.
6.
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 rubs onto the brake arm, please check for obstructions and repeat the
brake adjustment procedure above.
7.
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.
