6.3 Inspection / Service / Repairs
The expected service life of your rollator is 5
years. The lifespan is influenced by use,
storage, maintenance, service and cleaning.
Before you resume use of the rollator, it
should be inspected on following points:
• Completeness.
• Folding mechanism: functioning well.
• Bolts and nuts: tightly fastened.
• Brakes: functioning well.
• Wheels (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,
connections).
• Handgrips
(safe
adjustment system, good support of
handgrips).
• Seat (wear or damage).
Your rollator is constructed of aluminium and
plastic components. We recommend to have
your rollator 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
