Congratulations on your purchase of the KneeRover KneeCycle!

The deluxe KneeRover® KneeCycle provides a new level of freedom to users recovering from foot, ankle, or lower leg injuries. This revolutionary product enables users to get back to their daily routines and enjoy life while recovering – increasing their mobility without the use of painful crutches.

Product Description

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 backward 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, steering mechanism, and brake mechanism can and likely will become loose. Periodically check nuts and bolts after use and re-tighten as appropriate.

KneeCycle Set Up Instructions

Please follow the step-by-step instructions on the following pages to properly assemble your KneeRover® scooter. The diagram below identifies the key components of the scooter to aid with assembly. Visit kneerover.com for assembly videos.

Setup Instructions

Step 1: Install Front Axle

Please take your time to carefully complete all steps before operating your new KneeRover® scooter. First, remove the kneepad from the bottom of the scooter and put it aside for step 4. Next, place the front axle with caster wheels under the scooter frame, ensuring the round bolts by the wheels are facing up (as shown in the left and right photos). Align the axle and frame holes, and insert the clamp and washer (with the black rubber side up) into each hole. Tighten the clamps in a clockwise motion, while holding the ribbed nut, and continue until the axle is tight against the frame. Press the clamp lever down firmly until it touches the frame, to lock it in place. The right photo shows how the clamp should look when properly installed.

Step 2: Install Tie Rods

The fully assembled tie rods should be as follows (from top down): LEFT tie rod, washer, black guide, washer, RIGHT tie rod, washer, and nut. Insert the bolt into the top (LEFT) tie rod so that the head of the bolt is sitting flush. Next, insert the bolt thru the washer and black guide (as shown below). Place a washer and bottom (RIGHT ) tie rod onto the bolt from below the black guide. Finally, insert a washer and nut, and then fully tighten.

Step 3: Install the Steering Column

The steering column will be in a folded position when unpacking. When facing the front of the KneeRover® scooter, raise the steering column and push the security pin in the clamp to the left (as shown in the left photo) to allow the column to lock into place. Raise the clamp lever upward and tighten it by turning it clockwise. Finally, push the clamp lever down firmly to secure the steering column (as shown in the center photo). Reverse these steps when needing to lower the steering column for transport. Once the knee platform is installed, use the black knob (shown in the right photo) to set the handlebars at a comfortable height for operation.

Step 4: Install Knee Platform & Attach Basket

The knee platform is designed to be used with either the right or left leg. Insert the knee platform post into the receptacle tube and set the knee platform at your desired height for use by inserting the locking pin through the aligned holes. Finally, tighten the clamp to secure the knee platform in place. The removable basket attaches to the steering column.

Step 5: Brake Operation

To engage the brake, squeeze the brake lever on the handlebar. Your KneeRover® scooter comes equipped with a brake lock/parking brake. Simply squeeze the 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, tie rod steering mechanism, and brake assembly can become loose. To ensure the safe continuous operation of this KneeRover® scooter, it is important to periodically inspect the scooter for loose nuts and bolts and re-tighten it as appropriate.

FAQs

How do I know if the Knee Rover is right for me?****

The Knee Rover is ideal for individuals recovering from foot, ankle, or lower leg injuries. It is also ideal for those who suffer from pain in the lower leg or foot, and those who need to get back to their daily routines without the use of painful crutches.

What is the difference between the Knee Rover and other knee scooters?****

The Knee Rover offers a new level of freedom to users recovering from foot, ankle, or lower leg injuries. This revolutionary product enables users to get back to their daily routines and enjoy life while recovering – increasing their mobility without the use of painful crutches.

How stable are knee scooters?****

·         Stability: Knee scooters are much more stable than crutches because they are lower to the ground.
·         Comfortable: The leg rests have extra room in case your leg is in a cast and are padded for your comfort.

How long after surgery can I use a knee scooter?****

KNEE WALKERS AND KNEE SCOOTERS ARE NOT ALLOWED UNTIL THE FIRST APPOINTMENT POST-OPERATIVE. During the first two weeks following surgery, you should use crutches, a walker, or a wheelchair.

Can you use a knee scooter for non-weight bearing?****

The knee scooter has a high percentage of patient satisfaction and is a safe, well-tolerated mobility aid for patients who need to avoid weight bearing while recovering. Patients should be instructed on proper technique and typical causes of falling as a preventative step.

Can you use a knee scooter inside?****

Users recuperating from knee or leg injuries can experience a new level of freedom thanks to the adaptable Knee Rover seated scooter. Excellent fallback option: This seated mobility scooter is designed for indoor and outdoor use and is more comfortable and sturdy than crutches.

What is the turning radius of a knee scooter?****

The majority of steerable knee scooters feature a 40–45 degree turning radius.

How can I make my knee scooter more stable?****

You must engage and lock the brakes before stepping onto your knee walker. Locking them is necessary, especially when becoming accustomed to the scooter. It gives the scooter stability and keeps it from rolling away.

What are the disadvantages of a knee scooter?****

Only injuries below the knee may be treated with them. Patients with delicate knees might not find using a knee scooter to be comfortable. Someone else will be required to help you carry it up the stairs. Some insurance plans do not cover them.

What are the complications of using a knee scooter?****

A potential disadvantage of the knee scooter is a reduction in the mean velocity and volumetric flow of blood in the popliteal veins, theoretically increasing the risk of a DVT [5]. The most common risk when using the knee scooter is falling.
