KneeRover® Economy
Knee Scooter
Congratulations on your purchase of the KneeRover
®
Economy Knee Scooter!
The KneeRover® Economy Knee Scooter provides a more reliable and comfortable alternative to crutches for patients needing an effective mobility solution at an affordable price.
Operating Instructions:
This medical device is designed to maximize mobility during your recovery from foot/ankle surgery or injury.
Place the knee of your injured leg on the knee platform and stand as straight as possible. Adjust the handlebar to waist height so the arms and hands are in a comfortable position. Adjust the knee platform so that your injured leg is supported at a 90 degree angle when standing.
Ensure that the hand brake is fully engaged before mounting the KneeRover® scooter. To move the scooter, simply push forwards or backwards with your good foot. Allow the scooter to glide, and as it slows down, push again.
Safety First:
The KneeRover® 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.

Setup Instructions:
Step 1: Install Handlebars & Steering Column
Please carefully complete all steps before operating your new KneeRover scooter. The steering column and handlebars will be separate and in a folded position when unpacking. Insert the handlebars into the steering column, making sure not to twist the brake cables. Next, raise the steering column and push the clamp lever to the left to allow security pin to lock into place (as shown below). Raise the clamp lever upward and tighten by turning it clockwise. Finally, push clamp lever down firmly to secure the steering column (as shown below). Reverse these steps when needing to lower steering column for transport.
Step 2: Rotate Front Wheels & Set Guide Pin
Pull down the guide pin ring as shown below, and turn the handlebars so that the front wheels and brake handles are facing forward. The BACK
sticker MUST be facing back toward the rear wheels with the guide
pin between the guide stops. (see photos on top of next page). Be sure
that the brake cables are not twisted. The front of the scooter should look similar to the picture on the previous page.

Step 3: Install Knee Platform & Adjust Height
The knee platform is designed to be used with either the right or left leg. Insert the knee platform post into the receptacle tube. Next, set the knee platform at your desired height for use by inserting the locking pin through the aligned holes. Finally, tighten the clamp lever to secure the knee platform in place. Once knee platform is locked in place, install the black knob (as shown below) to set the handlebars at a comfortable height for operation (typically at waist height).
Step 4: Brake Operation
To engage the brake, squeeze the brake lever on handle bar.
Your KneeRover® scooter comes equipped with a brake lock / parking brake. Simply squeeze brake handle firmly and press the button to engage the lock. To release the lock, squeeze the brake handle again.
Ongoing Maintenance
With routine use, nuts and bolts on the steering column and brake assembly can become loose. To ensure safe continuous operation of this KneeRover® scooter, it is important to periodically inspect the scooter for loose nuts and bolts and re-tighten as appropriate.
