Operating the Knee Scooter

• Put together the knee scooter on a
at, stable surface
• Remove knee scooter parts from box
• Check all the parts are included
(knee scooter base, knee pad, basket)
Step 2: Secure the Steering Column into a Vertical Position

The CanDo®Knee Scooter is a mobility solution that offers
superior strength and comfort to individuals with an injury
below the knee, and helps them regain their independence.
It helps keep the body in balance with support from both the
scooter and non-injured leg, and evenly distributes weight for
a more comfortable ride. The scooter has a cushioned knee
pad, ensuring no pressure is placed on the injured leg.
Experience effortless turns and smooth, secure stops with
this device’s simple steering capabilities and integrated
brakes. Take control of your journey in complete safety!
• The injured leg should rest in the center of the knee pad
and cover the full length of the knee pad.
• With the injured leg on the knee pad, stand straight and
adjust the knee pad and handlebar height as necessary.
• Start out with small steps, using your non-injured leg to
move yourself forward on the scooter. Focus on keeping
the non-injured leg as close as possible to the knee pad to
maintain your balance.

Step 3: Install the Knee Pad for LEFT or RIGHT leg
1. For Left Leg injuries, insert the knee pad post into the holder
on the frame so the “L” label on the underside of the pad is
facing the front. When viewed from behind, the knee pad will
be offset towards the right (g 7).
For Right Leg injuries, insert the knee pad post into the
holder on the frame so the “R” label on the underside of the
pad is facing the front. When viewed from behind, the knee
pad will be offset towards the left (g 8).
2. Determine your knee pad height. This should be set at a level
that allows you to stand upright with your knee centered on
the pad and your weight comfortably balanced.
3. Secure pad in place by inserting the locking pin through the
hole of the knee pad post holder and the knee pad post at
your desired height. Secure the pin by moving the locking pin
hook into place over the locking pin (g. 9).
4. Push down on the knee pad locking lever to lock knee pad
into place (g 10).
Step 5: Install Wire Basket
1. Attach the basket handle to the wire basket by holding the handle outside the basket and sliding it into the top of the semi-circle
cutout on the basket. Then, feed the hook of the handle through the middle basket hole to secure in place (g 13 + 14).
2. Align the basket over the vertical brackets on the steering column. Slide basket down over the brackets to secure in place (g 15).

Using the Hand Brake
If the braking system is not working properly, DO NOT use the
CanDo®Knee Scooter.
1. Squeeze the hand brake towards the handle bar to use the
brake. This functions just like a brake on a bicycle.
2. Lock the brake in place by squeezing the hand brake and
pushing down on the spring-loaded brake lock button on top
of the hand brake at the same time (g 16). When you
remove your hands, the button should remain down and
locked in place.
3. Release the brake lock by re-squeezing the hand brake. The
braking button should pop up, releasing the locked brakes.
NOTE: Adjust the Braking Strength
• Locate the brake adjustment knob on the hand brake (g. 16). Turn the knob counterclockwise to increase the braking strength.
Turn the knob clockwise to decrease the braking strength. Keep the brake adjustment nut tight against the hand brake.
• Repeat these adjustments on the other end of the braking system (by the wheels) if further adjustment is needed.
• As the brake adjustment knob and brake adjustment nut get closer together, the braking strength will decrease. As the brake
adjustment knob and brake adjuster nut get farther away from each other, the braking strength will increase.

Safety and Maintenance
Safety Instructions
• Take slow, controlled strides and make turns slowly when using your knee scooter.
• Be aware of changing surfaces. Moving between hard oors and carpeting can affect your balance.
• Be especially aware of inclines and go very slowly. The rear wheels may slide on carpeted or slick, inclined surfaces even
when the brakes are fully engaged.
• Navigate surface changes by allowing the front wheels to roll over the surface change one wheel at a time.
• Avoid any area that will compromise your balance or control.
• Use caution when approaching uneven terrain like pavement gaps, doorway thresholds and door mats.
• Avoid uneven surfaces like gravel, grass or loose dirt, which can compromise your balance and stability.
• DO NOT reach across the handlebar or drastically shift your weight on the unit. Be sure to keep your weight centered over
the knee post at all times.
• DO NOT use in extremely wet conditions.
Safety Check List
• Make sure all adjustment knobs are tight before use.
• Test the hand brake and parking brake. The rear wheels should not rotate when the hand brake is fully engaged.
The hand brake should apply increasing resistance as the handle is squeezed.
• Test the steering by turning the handlebar to the left and right, and check that the wheels are turning in correct
alignment with the steering.
Cleaning and Maintenance
The knee scooter is a medical equipment device and needs regular maintenance.
• Keep the knee scooter stored indoors to avoid moisture and rust.
• Clean the knee scooter surfaces and wheels with a mild cleaning solution and damp cloth.
DO NOT use a water hose or power sprayer to clean the knee scooter.
• Check tires routinely for damage.
• Check the knee rest pad for cushion deterioration.
• Make sure all nuts and bolts are tight.
