Safety and Maintenance
Safety Instructions
• Take slow, controlled strides and make turns slowly when using your knee scooter.
• Be aware of changing surfaces. Moving between hard floors and carpeting can affect your balance.
• Be especially aware of inclines and go very slowly. The rear wheels may slide on carpeted or slick, inclined surfaces even
when the brakes are fully engaged.
• Navigate surface changes by allowing the front wheels to roll over the surface change one wheel at a time.
• Avoid any area that will compromise your balance or control.
• Use caution when approaching uneven terrain like pavement gaps, doorway thresholds and door mats.
• Avoid uneven surfaces like gravel, grass or loose dirt, which can compromise your balance and stability.
• DO NOT
reach across the handlebar or drastically shift your weight on the unit. Be sure to keep your weight centered over
the knee post at all times.
• DO NOT
use in extremely wet conditions.
Safety Check List
• Make sure all adjustment knobs are tight before use.
• Test the hand brake and parking brake. The rear wheels should not rotate when the hand brake is fully engaged.
The hand brake should apply increasing resistance as the handle is squeezed.
• Test the steering by turning the handlebar to the left and right, and check that the wheels are turning in correct
alignment with the steering.
Cleaning and Maintenance
The knee scooter is a medical equipment device and needs regular maintenance.
• Keep the knee scooter stored indoors to avoid moisture and rust.
• Clean the knee scooter surfaces and wheels with a mild cleaning solution and damp cloth.
DO NOT
use a water hose or power sprayer to clean the knee scooter.
• Check tires routinely for damage.
• Check the knee rest pad for cushion deterioration.
• Make sure all nuts and bolts are tight.
