Safety Precautions Operating the Knee Walker
CAUTION: TO REDUCE THE RISK OF
ACCIDENT
•Before using the Knee Walker, you should be
trained by a healthcare professional or dealer.
•Engage the brakes and practice bending,
reaching and transfers on and off the Knee
Walker. DO NOT use the Knee Walker by
yourself until you have been properly trained,
you have practiced with someone and you feel
confident you can maneuver by yourself.
•The use of the Knee Walker is individual to the
person. You should develop your own methods
for use based on your personal level of function
and ability.
•Be aware of your surroundings when operating
the Knee Walker. Look for hazards and avoid
them. Examples of hazards include wet or slippy
flooring, obstacles on the floor, and excessive
gradients.
•Always ensure the seat and tiller are secure
before load bearing use.
•The seat is only used to support a knee. Do not
sit on the seat.
The Drive Knee Walker is a mobility device that
provides strength and comfort to anyone who may
have an injury below the knee. It allows an even
distribution of body weight by supporting half of the
weight on the device and the other half on the non-
injured leg. The device has a cushioned platform to
support both the injured leg and ankle to make
certain that no weight will be place on the lower
leg.
The device may also be used a technical aid for a
disabled person who may have conditions
including foot ulcers and lower leg amputation.
The device is designed for easy steering and
stopping. Brakes are also featured on this device
for controlled movement and safety.
•Placement of the affected leg on the bench
should be centered side to side and positioned
forward to cover the full length of the bench.
•With the affected leg on the seat, stand as
straight as possible (adjust the height of the
tiller and seat if required).
•With the affected foot pointing down, the
position of the propulsion leg should be
maintained as close as possible to the seat.
•While on your toes, start out with small steps
with the propulsion leg. Concentrate on
keeping that leg next to the seat. With practice,
you should be able to move forward without
deviating to the opposite side.
Assembly Instructions
1. Remove the contents from the carton.
2. Insert the front tiller in to the front of the
frame (figure 1).
3. Once the tiller is in place and the handles
are aligned correctly with the wheels,
tighten the screw (figure 2) using an allen
key by turning clockwise.
4. Straighten the tiller to the upright position.
Slide the second screw into the receptacle
(figure 3).
5. Secure the screw and tiller in place by
pushing the locking handle against the side of
the tiller (figure 4).
6. Insert the seat post in to the seat
receptacle. Follow the instructions overleaf to
install the seat.

Handle Height Adjustment
To adjust the handle height, release the lock tab
on the collar and adjust the handle to the desired
height. Push the lock tab back to tighten.
To Fold the Tiller
To fold the tiller down, pull the bottom lock lever
away from the knee walker until the lock is
disengaged. While holding the lock lever in the
down position, fold the tiller down until it rests on
the seat.
Using the Hand Brake
•Do not use the Knee Walker if the brake system
is not working properly.
•The Knee Walker’s brake is similar to a bicycle
brake and also has a locking feature.
•To use the brake, simply pull the lever with your
finger tips toward the handle bar.
•To lock the brake, pull the brake lever towards
the handle bar and push down the spring
loaded push button (located on top of the brake
unit). When done correctly, the push button will
remain down and the brake lever will be locked
in place. Repeat for the other brake.
•To release the brake, simply pull the lever
towards the handle bar. The push pin will
release up automatically.
Adjusting the Hand Brake
•For minor adjustment, the brake adjuster
located on the handbrake can be turned out
from the hand brake anticlockwise to tighten the
brake, or clockwise to loosen the brake.
•If further adjustment is required, apply the same
method of adjustment at the lower cable
adjuster.
•As you adjust the cable adjuster and the
adjuster nut away from each other the brakes
will tighten, and as you adjust them closer the
brake will loosen.
