Troubleshooting
Crutch height adjustment is stiff or stuck
Ensure the adjustment pin is fully depressed. Clean any debris from the adjustment holes. Lubricate lightly with a silicone-based lubricant if necessary.
Handle or elbow pad feels loose
Check that the components are securely fastened. If they are designed to be tightened, use an appropriate tool. Contact customer support if the issue persists.
PVC tip shows significant wear
Replace the PVC tip immediately to ensure adequate grip and prevent slippage. Replacement tips are often available from the manufacturer or specialty medical supply stores.
