KneeRover® Evolution Scooter
User Manual
Congratulations on your purchase of the KneeRover
®
Evolution Scooter!
The versatile KneeRover® Evolution seated scooter provides a new level of freedom to users recovering from knee or leg injuries. The large gel padded seat and convenient front leg stand allows the patient to rest in comfort while elevating the non-weight bearing leg. Increase your mobility without the use of painful crutches.
Operating Instructions:
This KneeRover
®
scooter is designed to maximize mobility during your
recovery from foot/ leg surgery or injury.
It is important to set the seat and handlebar at a comfortable and safe operating position. The best position for the handlebar is approximately at hip level, with the seat at a comfortable height for propelling the KneeRover® scooter and resting your injured leg.
Ensure that the hand brake is fully engaged and locked before mounting the KneeRover® scooter. Place your hands on the handgrips and while seated, place the heel of the injured leg on the leg rest. Now release the parking brake and propel yourself using your good leg. Allow the KneeRover® scooter to glide, and as it slows down, push again.
Safety First:
The KneeRover® Evolution scooter is designed for easy steering and stopping and should be used to carefully move about at slow, controlled speeds. When turning the scooter, you should have the brake applied and be moving at a slow, safe, controlled speed. It is easy to tip the scooter if you are making a turn with too much speed. Use caution and balance and operate at your own risk.
With routine use, nuts and bolts on the steering column and brake mechanism can and likely will become loose. Periodically check nuts and bolts after use and re-tighten as appropriate.
