Operating Instructions
About
The Knee Walker is a steerable mobility device that provides
Support and Mobility to the user with injuries below the knee.
Body weight is distributed evenly across the knee pad (which is fully adjustable) and
allows the user to support and propel themselves with their good leg.
The "walker" has a cushioned molded knee pad to support both the injured leg and ankle
to make certain that no stress is placed on the damaged limb.
The knee walker is designed for easy steering and maneuverability with handlebars.
Brakes are also featured on this knee walker for precise speed control , movement and
safety.
Operating the Knee Walker
•Place injured leg (left or right) on the knee pad;
Centre the leg and position yourself forward to cover the full length of the pad.
•With the injured leg on the pad, stand as straight as possible and adjust the height
of the Knee Walker by loosening the quick release handle and repositioning the pin to
the correct height. -REFER ADJUSTING THE KNEE PAD HEIGHT-
•With the injured foot pointing down commence pushing yourself with the uninjured
leg. When propelling the knee walker always ensure that you keep your leg close to the
walker to maintain control and balance.
•With uninjured foot push back on the ground starting out with small steps to start
forward motion. Concentrate on small steps that give you stability and ease of control.
•Hands should always be on the handlebars to maintain control. Brakes need to be
applied as required to ensure that you have full control when moving and turning the
knee walker.

Using the Hand Brake

click into place.
*Do not use the Knee Walker if the brake system is not
working properly or poorly adjusted*
Adjusting the Hand Brake
For minor brake adjustments, the brake adjusters and lock nuts are located between
the handbrakes & the brake cables.
To adjust the tension on the brake lever loosen the lock nut and turn the brake adjuster
clockwise or anti clockwise as appropriate. Retighten the lock nut after adjustment.
If further adjustment is required, apply the same method of adjustment to the lower
brake adjusters & lock nuts.
If the brakes cannot be suitably adjusted by the operator please return the knee walker to
your place of purchase for servicing.

working properly or poorly adjusted*
Adjusting the Handle Bar Height
To adjust the handle height, turn the hand wheel (Item 4) in an anticlockwise direction
to release the lock. Move the bar to the desired height. To lock the handle bar at the new
height tighten the hand wheel in a clockwise direction. Ensure that the hand wheel has
been tightened to secure the handlebar before use.

Adjusting the Knee Pad Height
To adjust the knee pad height, turn the knee pad handle (Item 6) located under the
pad counter-clockwise until free of the frame. Set the pad to the desired height notch
and return the adjustment knob. Turn clockwise to tighten.
