PLEASE READ THIS COMPLETELY BEFORE USING

After Removing the Unit from the Box

Hold the unit upright with the wheels on the ground. Gently pull the back of the knee
platform away from the frame, opening the unit to its fully usable position. Unlock the
parking brake by pulling the brake handle back towards the handle bar until you hear a
"click".

Check for Proper Size and Adjustment

Place the knee of the injured leg centered on the front of the knee pad. When standing
erect, your good leg should be straight. The knee of your injured leg should be resting
comfortably in front of the cushion. There should be equal pressure on your good foot
and the knee of the injured leg. Your hips should be level with your back straight. If the
unit is too high, too low, please see the adjustment instructions on the back side of these
instructions.

Forward Movement

Rest your knee centered on the knee pad and propel the Knee Scooter with your good
foot; making small correcting turns with each step. Go slowly at first and never go faster
than you can walk.

Turns

Just as you do when walking, shift your weight to your good foot and gently lift the knee
of the injured leg off the cushion, lift the front of the unit and point it in the direction you
want to go. In the beginning, practice lifting the front of the unit with one finger. If you
can successfully lift the unit, then you are properly shifting your weight.
