tion of the gait trainer to identify any
defective or worn parts. All remova-
ble parts should be tightened regu-
larly. You can find various guides on
www.vela.eu.

check the wheels and remove any
residual threads, etc.

Clean with lukewarm water and if
necessary, add some pH-neutral de-
tergent. Disinfection is possible, but
never use solvent-based cleaners
(such as Turpentine).
1.7.3. PADDING
Synthetic fabric or leather: Clean
with water or mild soap using a hard-
wrung cloth.
Polyurethan foam: Upholstery on
trunk support, handle and rear stop
is easily wiped off with a disinfectant
cloth.

find cleaning instructions for all our
standard upholstery types.
1.7.4. RECYCLING GUIDE
Your VELA Miniwalk can be reused by
another person when you no longer
need it as long as the gait trainer is
serviced by a technician beforehand.
The life expectancy of the gait trainer
is five years for regular and proper use
as long as VELA, your VELA supplier
or a trained professional perform an
annual inspection with replacement
of worn parts.
