3 PREPARING THE QUAD CANE FOR USE
3.2 Adjusting the height of the push handle
You can adjust the height of the TOMTAR VFG
quad cane to suit you.
1.
Loosen the bushing (1, Fig. 3).
2.
Press in both spring pins and twist the push
handle round very slightly so that it is free to
move (2, Fig. 3).
3.
You can now set the quad cane to the re
-
quired height by sliding the push handle up or
down until the spring pins engage in the ap
-
propriate set of holes.
4.
Make sure that you clearly hear the spring
pins click into place after adjusting the height
(1, Fig. 2). The spring pins should now be no
-
ticeably protruding from the holes.
5.
Retighten the thread of the bushing (2, Fig.
2).
WARNING
Safety hazard!
Once the height has been ad
-
justed, both spring pins must click securely into
place. Otherwise, the parts of the product could
come apart and the user could fall.

NOTE
To enable correct use of the quad cane, it must
be adjusted to your individual height. Ideally, the
height should be set to the distance between the
floor and your wrist. This will allow you to walk
upright with your elbow slightly bent.
Your specialist retailer will adjust the height for
you.
If you subsequently realise that the result of the
height adjustment process is not quite right, you
can adjust the height yourself by following the
description in this section of the document.
