- Pull the steering column of the Front Frame (A) to the vertical position. The silver pin in the tension lever assembly will lock the two sections together. [Image: A person kneeling, holding the steering column upright. A second image shows hands connecting the front and rear frames, with locking pins.]
- Connect the Front Frame (A) to the Rear Frame (B) by inserting the male ends into the female ends. Push the frame pieces together until the locking pins engage and are secured.
- Insert a Screw Knob (F) into the top of the frame above the locking pins and twist until fully tightened to secure the scooter wheelbase. [Image: Hands inserting a screw knob into the top of the frame.]
- Pull the silver tension lever assembly up until the lever and the spring bolt are vertical and parallel to the steering column socket. [Image: Hands pulling the silver tension lever assembly upwards. A second image shows hands tightening a nut on the spring bolt.]
- Pull the flat silver lever back down to apply tension to the folding hinge and stabilize the front end of the scooter. If tension is insufficient, lift the lever, tighten the nut at the bottom of the spring bolt by half a turn, and retry. Repeat as needed.
- Attach the handlebars to the steering column. Ensure the brake line is not twisted around the bar. [Image: A person standing and holding the handlebars. A second image shows hands attaching the handlebars.]
- Adjust the Handle Bars (D) to the desired height, aligning the holes for the Screw Knob (F). Secure the handlebars by twisting the Screw Knob (F) clockwise until fully tightened. [Image: Hands adjusting handlebar height. A second image shows the secured handlebars.]
- Insert the Knee Pad (C) post into the receptacle on the Rear Frame (B). Lock the pad in place by inserting a Screw Knob (F) into the desired adjustable height hole, ensuring alignment, and twisting the knob clockwise until fully tightened.

Warning
[!] Always consult with your physician / therapist before use to determine proper adjustment and use. As with any new physical activity, common sense and practice are critical for the safe operation of the Knee Walker.
- Be sure you are on a level surface with the brake lock engaged when mounting / dismounting the Knee Walker.
- The hand brake is designed to maintain the Knee Walker in a stopped position. The hand brake is not intended to be used for stopping the Knee Walker while in motion. Using the hand brake while in motion may cause an abrupt stop and a loss of stability in the device.
- Use caution when moving between floors / surfaces with different textures (e.g., moving from carpet to tile, or a concrete sidewalk to an asphalt street).
- Do not hang anything from the frame of the Knee Walker, as it may tilt the device off-balance.
- Do not adjust the screws / bolts on the device unless otherwise specified in the instructions.
- Failure to properly secure the components will cause the Knee Walker to be unstable and difficult to control.
