7 – Care and Maintenance

7.1. Cleaning Instructions

• Clean regularly, wipe down with water and mild cleanser using a soft, non abrasive

cloth.

• Dry with a soft, clean, non abrasive, dry cloth.

• Ensure there is no build up of dirt or debris around the axle, brakes and wheels.

• Do not use cleaning agents containing phenol or chlorine, as this may damage

aluminum and polyamide materials.

• Lubricate with 3-in-l oil periodically or if wheels begin to squeak.

7.2 Maintenance

• Regularly check for wear and tear and that all screws and fixings are securely

fastened.

• Check brakes are working satisfactorily by both walking and squeezing the brakes

and by braking to a stop.

• Check the parking brakes by pushing the handles into the locked position, and then

trying to push the Rollator.

• If the brakes do not completely lock the wheels the brakes need to be adjusted.

7.3 Brake Adjustment

• Note: The brake cables run inside the handle tubes, DO NOT remove the cable

from the tubes as this could cause the brakes to fail.

• Brake cable route. For the brakes to function properly, the brake cable should be

flush along the tube as shown in fig 3.

• For correct adjustment the brake mechanism, when not in use, should not touch the

wheel, but the gap should be no greater than 3mm.

• Caution: After making any adjustments to the brakes, you must test them before the

Rollator is used.

• If adjustment does not tighten the brakes, do not use the Rollator. Contact your

dealer or NRS Customer services.
