Keep It Rolling: Your Easy Guide to Rollator Maintenance

​

Your rollator is more than just a mobility aid—it’s your freedom, your confidence, and your connection to the world. Whether you use it for daily errands or long outdoor strolls, keeping your rollator in top condition ensures it stays safe, smooth, and stylish for every step of the journey. Here’s how to show your rollator some love with a few simple maintenance tips:

1. Do a Weekly Quick Check

A few minutes each week can prevent future problems. Check for:

• Loose parts: Gently shake the rollator to see if anything wobbles or rattles.

• Smooth movement: Make sure it folds and unfolds easily, without resistance.

• Frame stability: It should feel solid when walking or sitting.

If anything feels off, it might be time to tighten a screw, adjust a knob, or check in with your dealer.

​

2. Test Those Brakes

Brakes are your safety lifeline, so regular checks are essential.

Engage the hand brakes while walking to make sure they respond immediately.

• Lock the brakes and try pushing forward—your rollator should stay firmly in place.

• Adjust if needed: Sometimes brakes don’t need replacing—they just need a quick adjustment.

• Use the tension adjustment knobs (or follow the instructions in your owner’s manual) to get the feel just right.

​

3. Keep It Clean

Regular cleaning helps extend the life of your rollator—and keeps it looking great:

• Wipe down the frame and handles with a damp cloth and mild soap.

• Clean the wheels, especially after using your rollator outdoors.

• Avoid soaking: Don’t hose it down or leave it in the rain—this can cause rust, especially on the brake system.

​

4. Replace Worn-Out Parts

Even the best rollators need a refresh now and then. Keep an eye on:

• Brake cables or grips that feel worn or sticky.

• Wheels that look flat or cracked.

• Accessories like cup holders, cane holders, and bags that see daily use.

​

5. Accessorize and Personalize

Maintenance doesn’t have to be all nuts and bolts—give your rollator a little flair:

• Add a fun bag or basket liner to carry daily essentials.

• Swap in a new cupholder to make staying hydrated easier.

• Going on a trip? The Extra Large Travel Bag stores and carries your rollator.

• Try a new color or style when you’re ready for a fresh look.

Let your rollator reflect your personality—it’s part of your lifestyle, after all.

​

Your Ride, Your Rules

Keeping your rollator in good shape means fewer surprises and more confidence. Whether you’re rolling into the grocery store, a family gathering, or a park trail, your rollator should be ready to go when you are.
