In order to get the most from your walker it is recommended to take care of it and carry out regular checks and
maintenance. Some simple daily and weekly checks can be carried out by a competent person. It may also be
required to make adjustments and carry out some minor maintenance on a monthly basis, again this can be
done by a competent person. At least once a year it is recommended to have your walker fully inspected and
serviced by one of Z-Tec’s approved dealers.
The walker should be kept clean and dust free by using a duster or damp cloth regularly with a mild detergent
added. Do NOT use any abrasive cleaners as they may damage your walker.

Should any defects become apparent on your walker or if the brakes do not respond as well as expected cease
