7.2 Maintenance tasks
To ensure smooth operation at all times, users or attendants with some technical skills can maintain some parts of
the product:
•
Hair and dirt particles generally accumulate between the caster wheel and fork. This can restrict the caster
wheels from rotating smoothly. For this purpose, lubricate the caster axle between the caster wheel and caster
fork with a few drops of thin, resin-free oil (sewing machine oil).
CAUTION: Do not remove the caster wheel yourself. If the caster wheel continues to not rotate
smoothly, please contact the qualified personnel.
•
If the rehab buggy gets wet, it should be rubbed dry again.
•
Screw connections must be periodically checked for tightness, especially during the initial period of use or
after making adjustments to the rehab buggy. If a screw connection loosens repeatedly, contact the specialist
dealer promptly.
