CARE AND MAINTENANCE & YOUR OBLIGATION 1. Only use your rollator for the purpose for which it intended, which is as an aid to walking. It is intended your rollator is only used on standard pavements or at home. It should not be used on rough terrain or pot-holed surfaces. The use of your rollator on these surfaces can seriously compromise your safety and may damage your rollator beyond repair. 2. Keep your rollator clean by wiping down with a damp cloth with a mild detergent. Do not under any circumstances use an abrasive or solvent based cleaner, as this will seriously damage the rollator and void your warranty. 3. Wipe off all surfaces with a dry cloth and use a water dispersing agent such as WD40 on all metal joints. 4. Check that all wheels and the folding mechanism function correctly and that all wheels move freely. Pay particular attention to the front wheels, ensuring that they rotate freely and without obstruction and that they are attached securely to the frame. 5. Monthly Checks - check that all locking pins are properly secure . Check that no components are loose. Check the adjustment to your brakes . Check castors. 6. Do not fit any parts or accessories to your rollator manufactured by another company. To do so will annul your warranty and may seriously compromise your safety. 7. We suggest that you check your rollator visually every day. However we recommend that you should have your rollator serviced every three months or less if used by, or issued to, various users. Withdraw your rollator immediately if any of the wheels become difficult to turn or do not feel securely attached to the frame or if you suspect damage or any other fault.
