before using the rollator.
Make sure that the folding mechanism is
locked in place after unfolding the rollator.
Always use the parking brake when

a long way in front of your body.
Be aware of the possibility of trapping
injuries; avoid putting your fingers between
the rollator's moving parts. Pay particular
attention when folding and unfolding the
rollator.
If the rollator is subject to direct sunlight /
cold temperature for a long period of time,
then surfaces of the rollator may become
hot (>41°C) / very cold. Be careful when
touching the rollator in these conditions as
skin burns or freeze can occur. People with
Hypoesthesia should be extra careful.
Users must move among pedestrians and
not on trafficked roadways. Use reflectors
when using the rollator outdoors.

other than that it was intended for. It must
not be used to transport people or heavy
loads.

Maintenance
Maintenance described in this section can be

work should be carried out by qualified
personnel at the supplier in your municipality
or at the technical aids centre. For information
about repairs and servicing, please contact
the technical aids centre in your county.
Cleaning
Proper cleaning and disinfection of your
product is essential to extend its life and keep
it looking new for longer; but it is also essential
to prevent the spread of bacteria and viruses
such as COVID-19.
Cleaning vs. Disinfection
The first thing to remember is that cleaning
is not the same as disinfecting. By cleaning,
we remove germs and dirt from surfaces, but
we do not kill germs. Removing them only
decreases the number of germs and risk of
spreading infections.
On the other hand, by disinfecting a walker/
rollator we kill microorganisms like bacteria by
using chemical products. This process does
not necessarily clean dirty surfaces. Killing
germs on the surface after cleaning has been
done can further prevent the spreading of
infectious diseases.
Washing the frame
The frame should be washed regularly with
warm soapy water up to a max temperature
of 60°C. 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 e.g. in a drying cabinet. If a
degreasing agent is used, moving parts should
be greased afterwards.
Disinfection
Disinfection should only be carried out by
qualified personnel. The rollator can be
disinfected using a disinfectant containing 70–
80 per cent ethanol or disinfectants commonly
used on the market. Do not use disinfectants
that contain bleach or phenols.
DANGER!
It is important that should the Walker/
Rollator be used by more than one person it
is cleaned thoroughly to ensure there is no
cross infection. Hygiene measures when being
re-used: Prior to the walker/rollator being re-
used, it must be carefully prepared. Please pay
attention to the manufacturer`s instructions of
the disinfectant you are using.
Prior to the Walker/Rollator 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 authorized
/ 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.

CAUTION!
Do not use solvents, bleaches, abrasives,
synthetic detergents, wax polishes or
aerosols. Disinfectants may be used in
dilution as specified by their manufacturer.
Ensure surfaces are rinsed with clean water
and dried thoroughly. Disinfect it using a
special sanitizer for surfaces or disinfect with
wipes that contain 70-80% ethanol/alcohol
solution, or other approved store-bought
solutions for disinfecting surfaces. These
products are labelled as bactericidal and
virucidal. The sanitizer must remain on the
surface for at least 15 minutes. The surface
should then be cleaned with a wipe and
rinsed with an aseptic cloth.
WARNING!
Always read the label on any commercial or
domestic cleaning substances. Always follow
the instructions carefully.
CAUTION!
Sand and sea water (or salt in the winter) can
damage the bearings of the wheels. Clean the
walker/rollator thoroughly after exposure.
CAUTION!
Excessive use of chemical or use of
incorrect chemicals can lead to corrosion
or degradation of materials used • Body-
fluids can lead to corrosion or degradation
of materials used. Make sure to clean and
disinfect all parts of the walker/rollator after
contact with body-fluids
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
The rollator should not be used at
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
time. Therefore, remember to check and if
necessary retighten all screws and nuts on a
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
be replaced.
