HEIGHT ADJUSTMENT
This range of crutches features double height adjustment for greater fit and
comfort. The height can be adjusted at the top and bottom of the crutch. Follow
the same steps below to adjust both the top and bottom sections of the crutch:
1. Grip shaft with one hand whilst pushing the metal locking pins down with
the other hand so the locking pins retract fully into the shaft.
2. Select required height by adjusting the top section of the shaft in an
upwards or downwards motion and release the metal locking pins in front
of the required hole position. (No adjustment on top section for VP148S)
3. Repeat step 2 for the longer, bottom section of the shaft.
4. Prior to use always ensure that the locking pins fully protrude from
the selected hole position and, by applying downward pressure on
the handle of the crutch, test that the crutch has been assembled
correctly.
