General Care:
To ensure that your steerable knee walker will have a long service life, inspect it regularly and follow
these general maintenance tips:
Wipe the frame with a soft, damp cloth at least once a week to remove any dust and dirt. If
exposed to moisture, dry immediately. Do not use an abrasive cleaner that will scratch the
finish.
Use only a clean towel dampened with cool water when cleaning hand grips and padded
cushion. Confirm that the grips are dry before using. NEVER use ammonia-based cleaning
solutions or soap on hand grips or cushion, which may cause them to loosen or crack.
Clean wheels with warm water and a mild cleanser. Dry with a clean rag.
Periodically inspect that the brakes, seat lever, steering column, and wheels are functioning
properly and that all parts are secure. If any issues develop, discontinue use until they have
been addressed.

the handlebars are at wrist level.

tighten to a more comfortable position. Brake tightness can be adjusted with the nuts at either
end of the brake cable. Turning the screw clockwise will loosen the brake, while turning the
screw counterclockwise will tighten it.

walker. Squeeze the hand brake lever again to release the parking brake lock.
Folding/Unfolding:
1. To fold the steering column down, pull the lock lever away from the steerable knee walker until
the lock is disengaged. While holding the lock lever in the down position, fold the steering
column down until it rests on the knee pad.
2. To fold the frame, pull the frame lock lever away from the steerable knee walker until the lock is
disengaged. While holding the lever in place, pull up on the frame until wheels come together.
Before Each Use:
1. Ensure that the brakes are working correctly. Over time the brake cables may stretch with use
and should be adjusted to ensure continued proper operation. Failure to do this may result in
injury to the user.
2. Ensure all parts are secure and moving parts are in good working order.
3. Ensure the seat lock lever and steering column lever are securely locked into place.
4. All four wheels MUST be in contact with the floor at all times during use to ensure the steerable
knee walker is properly balanced.

5. Be aware of your surroundings when operating the steerable knee walker. Watch for safety
hazards, such as cords, floor rugs, and other obstacles.
Using Your Steerable Knee Walker:
1. Place injured leg on bench, centered side-to-side and positioned forward to cover the full length
of bench.
2. With injured leg on bench, stand as straight as possible (adjust the height as necessary).
3. With injured foot pointing down, the propulsion leg should be kept as close as possible to the
bench.
4. While on your toes, start out with small steps with propulsion leg. Concentrate on keeping that
leg next to the bench. With practice, you should be able to move forward without deviating to
the opposite side.
Using the Hand Brake:
1. The steerable knee walker's brake is similar to a bicycle and also has a locking feature. To use
the brake, simply pull the lever with your fingertips toward the handlebar.
2. To lock the brake, pull the brake lever towards the handlebar and push down on the spring-
loaded push button (located on top of brake). When correctly engaged, push button will remain
down and brake lever will be locked in place.
3. To release brake, simply pull lever towards the handlebar. Push pin will pop up automatically.
