MAINTENANCE

DETECTING WEAR AND DAMAGE
With routine use, nuts and bolts on the steering column
and knee platform can become loose. To ensure safe con-
tinuous operation of the Knee Scooter, it is important to in-
spect the product EVERY MONTH for loose nuts and bolts
and re-tighten as appropriate.
CHECK IF BRAKES FUNCTION
Always test the brakes EVERY MONTH by both walking
and squeezing the brakes and by stopping, pushing down
on the brakes to a locked position, and then trying to push
the knee scooter. If the brakes do not lock the wheels, the
brakes need to be adjusted. If adjustment does not tighten
the brakes, DO NOT use the knee scooter.
LUBRICATING THE SCOOTER
A light grease lubricant may be applied to the ball bearing
and swivel of the casters every three months.
CLEANING THE SCOOTER
Use soapy water and a soft cloth to clean the surface of the
scooter. Wipe off any moisture after cleaning. Using abra-
sive clothes or other products can cause grates. Make sure
that the wheels are free of hair, lint, and other debris.
PERFORMING REGULAR MAINTENANCE
Regular maintenance of the scooter and accessories is
required to ensure proper operation. The casters and axle
bolts are also require check-ups for proper tightness.
