Your knee scooter is designed for use as a walking aid meant to assist users
while walking. If a large amount of force is placed on the knee scooter even
when the brakes are locked in position, the knee scooter may move. Always
exercise caution when using. Zip’r Mobility provides an extensive array of
products to best fit the individual needs of users. Please be aware that the
final selection and purchasing decision regarding the type of knee scooter to
be used is the responsibility of the knee scooter user who is capable of
making such a decision and his/ner healthcare professional (i.e., medical
doctor, physical therapist, etc.)
The contents of this manual are based on the expectation that a mobility
device expert has properly fitted the knee scooter to the user and has
assisted the prescribing healthcare professional and/or the authorized
provider in the instruction process for the use of the product.
There may be certain situations, including some medical conditions, where the
knee scooter user will need to practice operating the knee scooter in the
presence of a trained attendant. A trained attendant can be defined as a
family member or care professional specially trained in assisting a knee
scooter user in various daily living activities.
As you begin using your knee scooter during daily activities, you will
probably encounter situations which you will need some practice. Simply take
your time and you will soon be in confident control as you maneuver through
doorways, on and off elevators, up and down ramps.

guide, as each Glider user is solely responsible for individual safety and the
