Troubleshooting
Walking stick height adjustment is stiff or won't lock
Ensure the push-button is fully extended and that there are no obstructions in the adjustment holes. Gently clean the adjustment area if debris is present.
Rubber tip has poor grip
Inspect the rubber tip for wear and tear. If it appears worn down or damaged, it should be replaced to ensure optimal safety and grip.
