knee walker comes equipped with a brake lock/parking brake (A).
Simply squeeze brake handle rmly and press the buon to engage the
lock. To release the lock, squeeze the brake handle again.

handbrake. If further adjustment is required apply the same method of
adjustment at the lower cable adjuster (C).

other the brakes will ghten and as you adjust them closer the brakes will
loosen.

periodically inspect the knee walker for loose nuts and bolts and re-

Caution
TO REDUCE THE RISK OF ACCIDENTS
The Excursion knee walker is designed for easy steering and stopping and
should be used to carefully move about at slow, controlled speeds.
When turning the knee walker you should have the brake applied and be
moving at a slow, safe, controlled speed. It is easy to p the knee walker if
you are making a turn with too much speed. Do not lean over the edge of
the walker as this could cause the walker to p.
Be aware of your surroundings when operang the knee walker. Look for
hazards and avoid them. Do not use on stairs, over drops or barriers such
as curbs and parking stops.
Do not travel over loose gravel or uneven surfaces or on inclines above
15° (slight incline).
Before operang your knee walker you should be trained by a healthcare
professional or dealer. For use by adults only.
Use cauon and balance and operate at your own risk.

• Ensure to always operate your walker at slow, safe, controlled
speeds.
• With roune use, nuts and bolts on the steering column, steering

loose. Periodically check nuts and bolts aer use and re-ghten as
appropriate.
