Annual Product Inspection (Therapist, Technician, Leckey Product Advisor, Dealer)

Leckey recommend that each product should be subject to a detailed inspection at least once a year and every time the product is reissued for use. This inspection should be carried out by a technically competent person who has been trained in the use of the product and should include the following checks as a minimum requirement.
1. Check the seat height adjustment mechanism is locking securely.
2. Check the mast is secured to the base frame and the pin is in the locked position.
3. Check all knobs, nuts, bolts, plastic buckles and velcro are in place, replacing any missing items.
4. Lift the base to check each wheel individually. Make sure they are moving freely and remove any dirt from the rubber wheels. Check that the brakes lock the wheels securely.

the frame ensuring there are no signs of fatigue or cracking around the welds.

services department or your local dealer as soon as possible.
