unaffected leg. Be careful you do not
place the crutches too far to the front.
•
When you need 2 crutches and you can
lean on the affected leg, move the right
crutch and left leg simultaneously to the
front, and the right leg with the left crutch.
5.2
Walking on stairs
When there is a banister available, you can
use it as support and use the crutch on the
other side. Ensure that the banister is on the
unaffected side of your body, if possible.
Lean on the banister and place the crutch on
the first step. Place your unaffected leg on the
first step and put your affected leg beside
them.

Inspection / Service /
Repairs
The expected service life of your crutch is 5
years. The lifespan is influenced by use,
storage, maintenance, service and cleaning.
Before you resume use of the crutch, it should
be inspected on following points:
•
Completeness.
•
Frame
(deformation,
stability,
connections).
•
Handgrip
(safe
locking
of
height
adjustment system, good support of
handgrip).
•
Varnish (undamaged; remove rust and
repaint).
•
Tip (present and undamaged; replace if
necessary).
Every 8 weeks:
Turn the tip a quarter turn. This reduces the
wear and tear in one place.
We recommend to have your crutch inspected
at least once a year, but the service frequency
depends on the frequency and intensity of
use. Consult your specialist dealer to make an
agreement on service frequency.
Repairs and replacements may only be
undertaken by trained persons, and only
genuine replacement parts of Vermeiren
should be used. Do not hesitate to use the
services offered by your specialist dealer.
He/she will be glad to assist you regarding any
service and repairs.
6.4 Reuse
Before each reuse, have the crutch
disinfected, inspected and serviced according
to the instructions in §6.2 and §6.3 .
6.5
Disposal at end of life
At end of life, you need to dispose your crutch
according
to
the
local
environmental
legislation. The best way to do so, is to
disassemble the crutch to facilitate the
transport of recyclable parts.
