Troubleshooting
Walking stick feels wobbly or unstable.
Ensure the height adjustment mechanism is fully locked. Check that all sections of the shaft are securely fitted together. Inspect the rubber tip for damage or excessive wear; replace if necessary.
Handle is uncomfortable or causing irritation.
Ensure you are using the correct height setting for optimal posture. If discomfort persists, consider using the wrist strap to offload some pressure from the hand.
Rubber tip is slippery or not gripping well.
Clean the rubber tip with a damp cloth to remove any dirt or debris. If the tip is visibly worn down, it may need to be replaced. Contact customer support for replacement parts if available.
Folding mechanism is stiff or difficult to operate.
Ensure the mechanism is clean and free from debris. Apply a small amount of silicone-based lubricant if necessary. Avoid forcing the mechanism, which could cause damage.
