missing or damaged and do not try and assemble.

HEIGHT ADJUSTMENT

Ideally the stick height should be set or checked by
suitably qualifi ed healthcare professional.
When the height is set correctly the user should be
able to maintain an upright posture with their elbow
slightly bent, this will allow body weight to transfer
through the stick when walking.
To Adjust the height, press in the spring button, turn
the leg slightly and slide the leg up or down to the
required height, turn leg back until the button springs
back into the appropriate hole.
Check the spring button is fully located in the hole
before use.
