Washing the frame
The frame should be washed regularly with
warm soapy water. If the frame is very dirty,
a degreasing agent may be used. The frame
may be washed with a high-pressure hose. If
you use this method, avoid directly spraying
the ball bearings. Dry the rollator thoroughly
after washing it or after it has been used
in rainy conditions. If a degreasing agent
is used, moving parts should be greased
afterwards.
Cleaning the brakes
Clean the brake blocks and brake springs
regularly.
Cleaning the basket
The basket can be removed and washed
separately. Machine wash 60°, hand wash 40°
or disinfection.
To disinfect; use approved chemical
disinfectant. Do not use heat disinfection..
Conditions that could damage the
rollator

temperatures below -35 °C or above 60
°C. No specific requirements are made in
connection with humidity or air pressure.
No further requirements are made regarding
storage conditions.
Screws and nuts
Screws and nuts can become loose over

regular basis. A thread-locking product, such
as Loctite Blue No. 243, may be used.
If self-locking nuts have been removed they
lose some of their locking ability and should

Hygiene measures when being
re-used:
Prior to the wheelchair being re-used, it must
be carefully prepared. All surfaces which
come into contact with the user must be
treated with a disinfection spray.
To do this, you must use a disinfectant as
authorised/recommended in your country, for
rapid alcohol-based disinfection for medical
products and medical devices, which must be
disinfected quickly.
Please be aware of the manufacturer's
instructions for the disinfectant you are using.
In general, a complete disinfection cannot
be guaranteed on seams. We therefore
recommend that you dispose of seat
and back slings to avoid micro-bacterial
contamination with active agents according
to your local infection protection law.
Regular inspection
• Check that the brakes function correctly.
Adjust if necessary.
• Check that the wheels are in good condition
and that they have not been damaged.
• Ensure that the rollator is clean and that all
moving parts function correctly.
• Check and if necessary adjust all screwed
connections.
Changing batteries
Once a year the batteries need to be
replaced, depending on the usage of the
laser. First unplug the pushbutton and
laser from the electronics box. Unclick the
electronics box from the baseplate and
replace the 3 AA batteries with high quality
AA batteries. Reassemble the electronics
box back on the baseplate by clicking it
into position. Take care that the slots for the
pushbutton and laser plug face to the ground.
Plug the laser and pushbutton back in and
the rollator is ready for use again.
