Congratulations on your purchase of the KneeRover® Fusion All Terrain!
The KneeRover® Fusion All Terrain provides state of the art 4-wheel steering technology that 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.
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 approximately waist high or the top of
your hips. This will allow you to find the most comfortable position for your
hands while holding the grips. djust the knee platform height 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 forward with your good foot. Allow
the scooter to glide, and as it slows down, push again.
We recommend operating the KneeRover® scooter at a safe walking speed (< 3
mph).
Ongoing Maintenance:
We recommend saving the tools that are provided with your KneeRover® product,
as you may need them to provide ongoing maintenance. With routine use, nuts
and bolts on the KneeRover® knee walker can become loose. To ensure safe
operation of your KneeRover® scooter, it is important to period- ically
inspect for loose nuts and bolts and re-tighten as appropriate. Ensure that
the FRONT wheels are inflated to between 38 and 40 PSI. The maximum PSI for
front wheels is 40. Ensure that the REAR wheels are inflated to between 33-35
PSI. Maximum PSI for rear wheels is 35.

Weight capacity = 350 pounds
Step 1: Install Front Axle
Please take your time to carefully complete all steps before operating your new KneeRover® scooter. First, place the front axle with 12” wheels under the scooter frame, ensuring the round bolts by the wheels are facing up. Align the axle and frame holes, insert front axle bolts and tighten completely using the allen wrench provided. Make sure the welded nuts on the front axle are facing towards the ground.
Step 2: Install Tie Rods
The tie rod ends are already attached to the spindles/wheels. Bring the left tie rod (square hole) and place over the black guide and the right tie rod (round hole) under the black guide. Insert the bolt into the top tie rod so the head of the bolt is sitting flush. Next, insert the bolt through the washer and black guide. Place another washer on the tie rod bolt under the black guide and then the bolt through the right tie-rod round hole. Next, place two washers onto the tie-rod bolt from the bottom and then the locking nut. fter the tie rods are assembled, tighten the locking nut until it barely touches the bottom washer. Take care not to over tighten the locking nut, as this could cause some resistance while turning the knee walker. Below is a picture of a properly assembled Tie Rod.
Step 3: Install Steering Column
Raise the steering column up by pushing the clamp lever to the left allowing
the column to raise all the way up (Left Photo). Raise the clamp lever upward
in to the “U” slot and tighten by turning it clockwise (Right Photo). Finally,
push clamp lever down firmly to secure the steering column. Reverse these
steps when needing to lower steering column for transport.
Step 4: Handle Bar Assembly
Please make sure the brake line is not twisted and the brake handle is facing
forward. Insert the handle bar into the steering column (Left Photo). Raise
the handle bar to a comfortable position and insert the height adjustment knob
into the hole and tighten (Right Photo). We recommend the handle bar height to
be set approximately waist high.
Step 5: Assemble and Install Offset Knee Platform
The knee platform is designed to be used with the right or left leg. It is
very important that the knee platform is set up for the proper leg as this
offset is designed to help the rear wheels stay free from the pushing leg
during use. If the left knee will be placed on the kneepad, position the
kneepad post where the LEFT sticker on the post plate is showing next to the
LEFT sticker on the kneepad frame (Left Photo). If the right knee will be
placed on the kneepad, position the kneepad post where the RIGHT sticker on
the post plate is showing next to the RIGHT sticker on the kneepad frame
(Right Photo). Once set up properly, insert kneepad screws and
tighten.
Step 6: Install the Fusion Cover
Starting with the right side cover, place the cover over the rear axle (Top
Left Photo) and feed the brake cable into the rear of the cover. Place the
front of brake cable between the steering column and the steering bracket (Top
Right Photo). Place the left side cover over the rear axle and feed the brake
cable into the rear slot of cover. Make sure the mounting brackets on the
underside of the scooter are inside of the cover and snap the cover together
(Bottom Left Photo). Turn the unit on it’s side and install the allen bolts
and washers onto the mounting brackets to secure cover (Bottom Right Photo).
Tighten the bolts, but do not over tighten.
Brake and Parking Brake Operation
Your KneeRover® knee walker comes equipped with a brake lock/parking brake. To
engage the brake, squeeze the brake lever on the handle bar. To apply the
parking brake, squeeze brake handle firmly and while holding the brake handle
press the silver button to engage the lock. While still holding the button
down, release the brake handle and your parking brake will be set. To release
the lock, squeeze the brake handle again and the silver button will pop up.
If needed, the brake can be adjusted in order to make tighter or looser.

WARNINGS:
BEFORE OPERATING KNEE WALKER:
DO NOT exceed the maximum weight capacity of 300 pounds for this knee walker.
Exceeding the maximum weight capacity may result in injury to the user or
damage to the knee walker.
After fully assembling the knee walker according to this user manual, ensure
that the brakes are working correctly, meaning they engage the rear wheel(s)
when the brake handle is squeezed. Failure to do this may result in injury to
the user.
Inspect the knee walker periodically to ensure the brakes and wheels are
functioning properly. Be sure steering column clamp and height adjustment knob
are tightened and fully engaged before each use. Also, ensure that the knee
platform height adjust- ment clamp is tightened and fully engaged and the
locking pin is locked in place prior to use. For All Terrain models – ensure
tires are inflated to the proper psi.
Only use accessories and replacement parts authorized by the KneeRover® brand.
Accessories designed by other manufacturers have not been tested by KneeRover®
and are not recommended for use with KneeRover® products.
As a reminder, this is a mobility / walking aid, not a recreational device.
For the user’s safety, it is important to follow these safety instructions at
all times.
SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS FOR OPERATING KNEE WALKER:
As with any new physical activity, practice and common sense are necessary for
successful use of the knee walker. Before operating the knee walker at normal
walking speed, practice maneuvering and making turns at slow rates of speed to
get familiar with the
knee walker and how to best maintain balance. Gradually increase the time
spent using the knee walker to allow muscles to adjust to this new activity. A
user’s learning curve for use of the knee walker depends on the individual’s
level of activity, balance, and ability. Consult a healthcare professional for
additional guidance on height settings and use of the knee walker for maximum
support and comfort during recovery.
The following warnings are intended to help the user achieve the safest
operation of the knee walker during recovery. Failure to read and comply may
result in injury to user or damage to the unit.
DO NOT operate the knee walker faster than a comfortable walking speed (we
recommend not more than 3 miles per hour). Running with the knee walker or
riding it fast down a hill is dangerous as one can easily lose control of the
knee walker and serious injury
could result.
Use extra caution when turning the knee walker. Do not turn unless one foot is
on the ground. Do not turn at speeds over 1 mph (very slow walking speed).
Never make a sharp turn at high speed as this could result in a fall and
serious injury,
DO NOT travel over loose gravel, large cracks, or other uneven surfaces.
DO NOT operate on inclines above 15 degrees (slight incline). Use Extreme
Caution when operating the knee walker on any slopes, as there is risk of
losing balance. It is best to avoid slopes. Only mount or dismount your knee
walker on a level surface.
DO NOT attempt to reach for objects while the knee walker is in motion. Ensure
that you have come to a complete stop with brake fully engaged or locked, and
have established good balance before reaching for an object.
Be aware of your surroundings when operating the Knee Walker. Stop and move
forward slowly when encountering cracks or separations in walkway surfaces.
Look for hazards on the ground and avoid them to prevent falls. Use caution
when moving from one surface to another, such as hard floors or carpet.
DO NOT use the knee walker on or near stairs, curbs, obstacles, ect. Doing
this increases risk of fall and/or injury.
DO NOT walk backwards while using the knee walker.
All wheels must be in contact with the floor at all times while moving on the
knee walker to ensure proper balance. Always keep both hands on the handlebar
grips when in use.
