Mast Hand Clamp Adjustment
The hand clamp located at the base of the steering column should secure the mast tightly to the frame so that there is no
play or looseness. The following steps (if necessary) will allow you to adjust the tightness of the clamp if you find that it
is either is too hard to push down or too loose to hold the mast securely.
• Place the clamp in the downward position.
• Push upward on the clamp until the nut is between the two sides of the mast platform.
(see image 7)
• Turn counter clockwise to loosen the tension on the clamp or turn clockwise to tighten the tension on the clamp.
To Lower the Steering Column (for transport)
• Pull the clamp arm up to release the clamp and push the clamp arm forward.
• Slide the clamp to the right so that the pin disengages from the mast platform.
• Gently guide the steering column downward and position below the seat
Steering Mast Height Adjustment
• Remove the triangular adjustment knob by turning counter clockwise.
• Adjust the handles to the desired height.
• Insert the screw into the hole on the mast and tighten until secure.
Adjusting the Knee Platform
The Nova Knee Walker can be used for right or left leg injuries. The offset position
of the seat provides better stability and increased foot clearance for pushing forward.
When standing behind the scooter, the knee platform should be offset on the side
of the non-injured leg.
(see image 8)
• Remove the height adjustment screw from the frame and then remove the knee pad from it’s upside down shipped
position.
• Insert the knee post into the frame.
(see image 9)
• Adjust kneepad to the desired height and insert the screw through the frame and into the post and hand tighten.

Brake Adjustment Instructions

(see image 11)
Brake Adjustments
If you find it difficult to squeeze/lock the brake handle or that the brake shoe is not engaging the wheel then you may
need to adjust the brake.
(see image 12)
• To Release Tension (make it easier to squeeze or lock)
Be sure the brake is in the unlocked position. Turn the brake adjustment screw counter clockwise until the desired
tension is achieved. Test after each 1/2 turn. The brake should lock the wheel when in the locked position. Screw the
locking nut against the brake casing to secure your desired setting.
(see image 12)
• To Increase Tension (make the brake engage sooner)
Turn the adjustment screw clockwise until the desired tension is achieved. Test after each 1/2 turn. The brake should lock
the wheel when in the locked position. Screw the locking nut against the brake casing to secure your desired setting.
