OPERATION
1. Before mounting the knee scooter, ensure the hand
brakes are fully engaged, to prevent it from rolling. Find
support with your hands holding on on the handle bars and
stand with your uninjured leg, carefully move the injured leg
across the seating pad and proceed to sit down.
2. Your hips should be even, and your uninjured foot placed
with ease on the calf pad. The handlebars should be adjust-
ed at a comfortable distance in front of your body, normally
about waist height. You should not be hunched over the unit,
but in your normal, upright posture.
Any issue regarding adjustment can be found at the Adjust-
ment section of this manual.
3. Once balanced, disengage the hand brakes and use your
good leg to propel you (much like a child's scooter). Go
slowly to start and progress up to a normal walking speed.
Use your best judgement and be cautious on inclines and
uneven sidewalks.
4. Please slow down when navigating tight corner or turning.
When turning on the same side as your propeling leg, it is
common to hit the rear wheel if not careful. Slow down and
extend a wider stride movement until the turn is made.
When performing a U-turn in a narrow space, always slow
down and be aware of your surrounding. Follow the three
point turn technique (forward, back, forward) same function
as a normal scooter or driving a car.
5. To dismount the knee scooter. Bring the knee scooter to
a even surface, ensure the hand brakes are fully engaged
to prevent it from rolling. With your hand holding on to a
support, stand up on the good leg and carefully swing your
injured leg over the seating pad.
