8. Maintenance instructions for the
user
8.1. Cleaning
The seat and back materials can be cleaned with warm water using
a sponge and/or a soft brush. In case of stubborn dirt, a commercial
cleaning agent can be added to the water.
•
Plastic parts are best cleaned with a commercially available plastic
cleaner. Please observe the product information of the cleaning agent.
•
Plastic claddings are attacked by non-ionic surfactants and
solvents, especially alcohols!
•
Wipe the frame parts of the wheelchair with a damp cloth. For heavier
soiling, also use a mild cleaning agent.
•
Clean the wheels with a damp brush with plastic bristles (do not use
a wire brush!).
•
Do not use a high-pressure cleaner or automatic carwash.
•
Wash the push handles, arm pads, seat and back pads with a mild
detergent.
- Upholstery parts can be machine washed at 40°C. Do not
machine dry, only dry at room temperature.

8.3.1. Brake Inspection
Make sure your brakes are operating properly before each use.
The rollator should not roll away when the brakes are applied.
The rollator should be easy to drive without grinding noises and with
good direction stability when the brakes are released.
If you notice unusual behaviour when braking, inform your qualified
mobility dealer immediately and do not use the rollator.

Check whether the tyres are intact every time before driving.
If the tyre is damaged, it must be repaired by an authorised dealer.
