Repairs, maintenance and adjustments
Our equipment service agents work Monday to Friday (except public holidays), between 8am and 5pm. Find an equipment service agent in your area.
If your equipment breaks down out-of-hours (after 5pm and before 8am), and you need urgent help, phone 0800 362 253. Our after-hours answer service will put you through to a service agent.
They can come to your home to repair or collect the equipment. Service agents aim to review equipment within 1 working day. If your equipment needs an annual service or electrical test, an equipment service agent will contact you, or you can contact us.
Keeping your equipment in good working order
You or your carer will need to do some simple checks and cleaning. Here are a few quick tips:
Use a damp cloth and mild detergent or disinfectant to clean equipment
wipe or machine-wash seat covers, and mattress covers
clean any build-up of hair or dirt around wheels
keep tyres correctly inflated so the equipment moves easily, and the brakes work properly
keep batteries charged – some take up to 12 hours to fully recharge.
If you notice any of the following things, contact an Enable New Zealand equipment service agent:
Loose or worn parts
torn or frayed material
odd noises from moving parts
damaged electrical cables or wires.
