Using the Knee Scooter

1. Place the injured leg's knee onto the cushioned knee pad.
2. Use your uninjured foot to propel the scooter forward.
3. Steer using the handlebars. Always turn slowly and cautiously to maintain balance and prevent tipping.
4. Utilize the foot-rest rod for resting your uninjured leg when stationary or for added stability.

Braking System

The scooter is equipped with adjustable locking handbrakes for safe stopping and parking.

• Handbrake: Squeeze the handbrake levers on the handlebars to slow down or stop.
• Parking Brake: To engage the parking brake, squeeze the handbrake lever and push down the small button or lever near the brake handle. This will lock the brakes, allowing the scooter to remain stationary. To release, squeeze the handbrake lever again.
• Brake Adjustment: If the brakes feel loose or do not engage effectively, they may need adjustment. This typically involves tightening the cable at the brake lever or at the wheel caliper. Consult a professional if you are unsure how to adjust them.
