Ensure the walker is used only as an aid for mobility.
Ensure the walker is kept clean. Wipe down the
walker with a damp cloth on a regular basis.
Check the moving parts (e.g. –wheels and height
adjustment) regularly. All moving parts should
operate freely without excessive movement or play.
Ensure that the hand operated cable brakes are
functioning correctly. Then squeezed or locked on,
the two rear wheels should not be able to turn.
All the fasteners (screws, nuts and bolts) are to be
checked regularly to ensure they are securely
tightened.
It is recommended that the rollator is serviced
annually, if the rollator is used by a single user. If the
rollator is used in a multi-user environment (such as
communal housing) servicing may be required more
frequently. Any servicing, maintenance or repairs
should be done by competent personnel such as a
Drive Medical dealer.
Check that the front castor wheel(s) swivels freely.
Withdraw the walker from use if it does not.
The estimated service life for the rollator is 6 years
given normal everyday use by a single user. After 6
years, the device should be replaced.
