SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS FOR OPERATING KNEE WALKER:
As with any new physical acvity, pracce and common sense are
necessary for successful use of the knee walker. Before operang
the knee walker at normal walking speed, pracce maneuvering
and making turns at slow rates of speed to get familiar with the
knee walker and how to best maintain balance. Gradually
increase the me spent using the knee walker to allow muscles to
adjust to this new acvity. A users’s learning curve for use of the
knee walker depends on the individual’s level of acvity, balance,
and ability. Consult a healthcare professional for addional
guidance on height sengs and use of the knee walker for
maximum support and comfort during recovery.
The following warnings are intended to help the user
achieve the safest operaon of the knee walker during recovery.
Failure to read and comply may result in injury to user or
damage to the unit.
DO NOT operate the knee walker faster than a comfortable
walking speed (we recommend not more than 3 miles per hour).
Running with the knee walker or riding it fast down a hill is
dangerous as one can easily lose control of the knee walker and
serious injury could result.
Use extra cauon when turning the knee walker. Do not turn
unless one foot is on the ground. Do not turn at speeds over 1
mph (very slow walking speed). Never make a sharp turn at high
speed as this could result in a fall and serious injury.
DO NOT travel over loose gravel, large cracks, or other uneven
surfaces.
DO NOT operate on inclines above 15 degrees (slight incline). Use
Extreme Cauon when operang the knee walker on any slopes,
as there is risk of losing balance. It is best to avoid slopes. Only
mount or dismount your knee walker on a level surface.
DO NOT aempt to reach for objects while the knee walker is in
moon. Ensure that you have come to a complete stop with brake
fully engaged or locked, and have established good balance
before reaching for an object.
Be aware of your surroundings when operang the Knee Walker.
Stop and move forward slowly when encountering cracks or
separaons in walkway surfaces. Look for hazards on the ground
and avoid them to prevent falls. Use cauon when moving from
one surface to another, such as hard oors or carpet.
DO NOT use the knee walker on or near stairs, curbs, obstacles,
ect. Doing this increases risk of fall and/or injury.
DO NOT walk backwards while using the knee walker.
All wheels must be in contact with the oor at all mes while
moving on the knee walker to ensure proper balance. Always
keep both hands on the handlebar grips when in use.
