3 PREPARING THE QUAD CANE FOR USE

ASSEMBLY INSTRUCTIONS

The TOMTAR VFG quad cane is supplied in two

parts (push handle & frame).

3.1 Assembling the quad cane

1. If necessary, loosen the thread of the bushing

by turning it anticlockwise (1, Fig. 1). Do not

unscrew the top part of the bushing com-

pletely. Simply loosen the connection.

2. Hold the black push handle at the bottom,

where the two spring pins are located.

3. Press in both spring pins (2, Fig. 1). At the

same time, insert the push handle into the

frame at the top of the bushing (3, Fig. 1).

4. Keep inserting the push handle until the

spring pins pop out through the holes.

5. The spring pins must make a clearly audibly

noise as they click into place. The spring pins

should now be noticeably protruding from the

holes (1, Fig. 2).

6. Tighten the thread of the bushing by turning

it clockwise (2, Fig. 2).

7. Your quad cane is now fully assembled.
