Hand Brake Instructions
If the brake system is not working properly, DO NOT
continue to use the Knee Walker!
The Knee Walker's brake system is similar to a
bicycle and includes a locking feature.
To apply the brake, simply pull the lever with your
finger tips toward the handle bar.
To lock the brake, pull the brake lever towards the
handlebar and push down the spring loaded push
button (located on top of brake). When done
correctly, push button will remain down and brake
lever will be locked into position.
To release the brake, simply pull lever towards the
handle bar and the push pin will pop up
automatically.
Hand Brake Adjustment
For minor adjustments, the brake adjuster located
on the handbrake can be turned out from the hand
brake counter clockwise to tighten the brake, or
clockwise to loosen the brake. Position the cable
adjuster nut against the hand brake.
If further adjustment is required, apply the same
method of adjustment at the lower cable adjuster.
As you adjust the cable adjuster and the adjuster
nut away from each other, the brakes will tighten.
As you adjust them closer, the brakes will loosen.
Handle Height Adjustment
To adjust the handle height, loosen the adjustment
screw on the handle by turning it counter clockwise
until it can be removed. Adjust the hand grip to the
desired height and reinstall the adjustment screw by
turning it clockwise until it is tightened.
Pad Height Adjustment
To adjust the pad height, loosen the locking lever under
the pad (shown in step 5 of instructions), and then
remove locking pin (shown in step 4 of instructions).
Adjust pad to the desired height and then reinstall the
locking pin and secure it in place with the retainer tab
(as shown in step 4 of instructions). Next tighten the
locking lever (as shown in step 5 of instructions) to
lock pad in place.
To Fold Tiller
To fold the tiller down, release the tiller locking handle
(as shown in step 3 of instructions) and slide assembly
to the side (as shown in step 2 of instructions) until the
tiller is disengaged. Fold the tiller down until it rests on
the pad and release the locking mechanism.
