Instructions for use
1.7. MAINTENANCE
We recommend an annual inspec-
tion of the gait trainer to identify any
defective or worn parts. All remova-
ble parts should be tightened regu-
larly. You can find various guides on
www.vela.eu.
1.7.1. WHEELS
We recommended you regularly
check the wheels and remove any
residual threads, etc.
1.7.2. FRAME
Clean with lukewarm water and if
necessary, add some pH-neutral de-
tergent. Disinfection is possible, but
never use solvent-based cleaners
(such as Turpentine).
1.7.3. PADDING
Synthetic fabric or leather:
Clean
with water or mild soap using a hard-
wrung cloth.
Polyurethan foam:
Upholstery on
trunk support, handle and rear stop
is easily wiped off with a disinfectant
cloth.
Note:
On www.vela.eu you can
find cleaning instructions for all our
standard upholstery types.
1.7.4. RECYCLING GUIDE
Your VELA Miniwalk can be reused by
another person when you no longer
need it as long as the gait trainer is
serviced by a technician beforehand.
The life expectancy of the gait trainer
is five years for regular and proper
use. We recommend that VELA, your
VELA supplier or a trained professional
perform an annual inspection with
replacement of worn parts.
