• This product is for INDIVIDUAL USE only.
• As with any new physical activity, instruction, practice, and common sense are
necessary for successful use of the TKW. Practice turns slowly until you get the
“feel” of your unit.
• Reckless usage of this product includes, but is not limited to, scooting too fast,
sitting/standing on knee pad, attempting extreme maneuvers around corners or
in recreational environments.
• Be sure that the knee platform height adjustment knob is tightened and fully
engaged before each use.
• Be sure the upper steering post and height adjustment knob are tightened and
fully engaged before each use.
• Be sure hand brakes are fully operational and engage the rear wheels when the
handles are squeezed or locked.
• Be sure you are on a level surface and not on any incline when you mount or
dismount.
• The hand brake is designed to maintain a stopped stance and is NOT intended to
be used for stopping the unit while you are moving.
• Use of the hand brake while in motion may cause an abrupt stop. Your uninjured
foot should be used to propel and to stop the unit.
• This unit is intended for use with a person properly positioned on the knee
platform.
• ALWAYS use caution when moving from carpeted to hard surface oors, rough
surfaces or when changing levels (for example, moving from a curb to the street
and back onto the sidewalk).
• DO NOT operate the TKW on or near stairs or escalators, over bumps, on hills, or
while using mind-altering drugs or alcohol, or while suffering from dizziness.
• DO NOT sit or stand on the knee platform, or use the TKW to pull yourself up
from a seated or other position. The knee platform is not designed for sitting or
supporting full body weight.
• DO NOT attempt to reach objects if you are kneeling on the knee pad.
• DO NOT hang anything from the frame of the unit. Items should be placed in the
basket (optional) designed for your unit (available from your provider).
Some of the above situations will cause a change of weight distribution and may
cause the unit to tip, resulting in injury or damage. Always use EXTREME caution
when reaching for any object.
