SAFETY INFORMATION
The following recommendations are made for the safe operation and adjustment of the
Canes:
GENERAL WARNINGS
Each individual should always consult with their physician or therapist to determine
proper adjustment and usage.
Check rubber tips for rips, tears, cracks or wear. If any of these conditions exist, replace
rubber tip immediately.
Probasics Canes can provide ambulatory assistance for an individual weighing up to
250 lbs (114 kg). Probasics Bariatric Canes can provide ambulatory assistance for an
individual weighing up to 500 lbs (225 kg). The canes are designed to provide support,
increased stability and assistance to the end user while walking. The canes are NOT
designed to support the total weight of individuals.
QUAD CANE/ ECONOMY CURVED HANDLE
CANE/OFFSET CANES WARNINGS
Single or Double-button MUST be fully engaged and protruding through height
adjustment hole on cane handle to ensure a positive lock. ALWAYS test to see that cane
handle is properly and securely locked in place BEFORE using.
Make certain cam lock is secure at all times.
When using a Quad Cane, the cane should be placed on the walking surface with all
four legs in contact with, and vertical tube perpendicular to, the walking service. Use of
cane in a fashion other than this can lead to eventual cane damage and/or personal
injury. Extra care should be exercised when walking on a slippery or wet surface.
If cane is exposed to extreme temperature (above 100°F or below 32°F), high humidity
and/or becomes wet, prior to use, ensure handgrips do not twist on cane handle –
otherwise damage or injury may occur.
For stability, ensure that longest/or flattest portion of base is closest to foot – otherwise,
injury or damage may occur. It may be necessary to adjust Quad cane for right-hand or
left-hand use. Refer to ADJUSTING QUAD CANES in this instruction booklet.

FOLDING CANE WARNINGS
Ensure that the snap button fully protrudes through adjustment hole of the cane. This
ensures that the cane is securely locked in position.
BEFORE using the Folding Cane, ensure that it is securely locked in place or a fall could
result, causing bodily injury and/or damage to the cane.
PROPER CANE HEIGHT

frequently when using cane.
1. Stand as upright as possible on a firm, flat surface and let your arm hang down
naturally by your side.
