Use of the Walking Stick

Please ensure that you have thoroughly read and understood all of the instructions and safety
considerations in this User Manual.

Pre-use Checks

Prior to each use it is essential that the walking stick is visually checked for damage. This includes the condi-
tion of the stick, ferrules and handle and ensuring that the height adjustment pin is secure . Should damage
be seen or suspected the walking stick must NOT be used and you should contact you equipment provider.

Height Adjustment

1. Remove the E-clip from the walking stick and pull the top of the walking stick to extend to the desired
height ensuring you do not exceed the last punched hole of the extension leg. (see fig. 1)
2. Re-install the E-clip ensuring that it has passed securely through both the top section and base section
of the walking stick and is fitting neatly and snugly around the walking stick. (see fig. 2)
