How do you adjust the cane to make it stand alone. Mine worke great until two days ago.

We haven't had that problem. As long as it is on a level surface. I saw the response about putting your foot on the base and rotating the handle a couple of times. The rubber feet are what keeps it standing.

There is no adjustment to make it stand alone. If the cane is in the unfolded position that is it. All you can do is stand the cane with the three round legs under the silver triangle on the bottom on a level surface and hope it stands. I wrote the review to let people know that this cane does not stand on it's own I would say 98% of the time. I hope this helps but I am sorry that I do not have a better answer.

I am not able to give you an answer - this was a purchase for my momma. I am in a different state. Therefore I am not able to look at the "cane" for adjustments. If you continue to have this problem - I would contact the company - they should make this right for you.

I don't think there is an adjustment for it to stand, it just has to be on a very flat surface and you have to take your hand away slowly. But I will look at my mom's and see if I'm wrong

There is no adjustment, but it does stand better if you turn the handle to line up with one of the legs. The handle is an off-center weight that is trying to tip it over so the protrusion of the leg helps to counteract that.

I don't know have not had that problem I hope some one can help you with some info on that issue

Place your foot on the base of your cane and rotate the handle in a circular motion two or three times and see if this helps. Is this a new purchase? If you have had your cane 6 or more months you may need to replace the feet. I hope I have helped you.

Sorry I don't know, I bought it for my mother in law and haven't seen it since

My order was for a cane that was cut to my height so I did not have to remove a old one. But if your removing a tip it must be worn out so just cut it off. Run a sharp knife down it's side. You get that top part loose and you can work it off.

Thank you Sandra for raising your question and others for your answers. For this particular model, there is a white cap at the end of the middle tube that works as a stopper to minimize vibration. To insert and to pull out that part of the folding quad cane, please feel free to add a drop of "WD40" at the end of the middle tube by the white cap as lubricate. This should do the trick.

I suggest you phone the Company 'Hurry Cane' directly. This problem seems unusual. Of course, I don't know how long this cane has been in use.

Maryann, I went to www.hurrycane.com; spoke with the guy who answered the phone about the problems with the feet. They sent me a whole new cane. I hope this help. Bob

After looking at mine I see the area but no logo. It either came off or was never there. However don't let that stop you from getting the cane. I love mine!

There are 10 adjustments (for the length) on my cane. I am 5' 11" and I use the 4th setting from the shortest length of the cane. I would say get it, if it does not work for you, send it back. I really like the cane in terms of durability and use. Good luck

I don't know exactly what you mean, but where the cane goes into this is maybe a little more than 2 inches. That's in the middle. it took my son to push the cane into it- he's strong and I am not The cane works great with it and if it falls over, just step on one of the sides or feet of it and it springs up for you to use! Hope this helps.

In order to make the strength of the cane itself to stay strong, the base of this quad cane cannot be uninstalled or removed. We do appreciate your feedback and possibly would consider to add this feature into our future product line. Thank you.

It's not that heavy. You need some weight to make it stand alone and balance the cane.Hope this helps.

I'm having the same problem & haven't been able to adjust it as yet. Brand new unit. Not happy.

You can adjust it by aligning you palm even with the padded handle straight at your side. The clips on the cane very easily adjust to the side when your hand & arm are paralle to your padded wrist support on your cane. One thing I didn't know about using a cane is that you use it on your uneffected side of your body to give you a greater sense of balance. At the time you move your effected side leg forward, you also bring the cane forward @ the sametime to give you the greatest center of gravity. I found this from my PT @ my first appt. I hope this info works for you!!

I went into product info for you and could not find your answer I suggest you contact Amazon,they are wicked helpful,I hope it does extend to that length for you because it is a very good cane.

It is my understanding that the cane should be about hip-height where pressure can be comfortably applied with the arm in a comfortable position. The cane should be used on the side opposite the affected side.

That is a critical flaw in the cane. My friend's cane throws a foot every couple of months and since he is hard of hearing, he doesn't hear the footless scrapping sound when he uses the cane. I just keep an ear out and when it falls off, I start looking everywhere he's been. I still recommend it because it gives him almost as much stability as a walker, without the walker, which would make him feel so much older.Hurrycane needs to address the issue, because the replacement is way too expensive

My suggestion for those of you who hate this cane is to look at the brand Hugo's Quadpod cane. I just bought my 3rd one, not as a replacement, but one for my hubby.

I was not able to find anything. The cane that I had bought this for did not fit because it was too thin. I was unable to use it. If anyone can figure it out, I could use the answer too. Sorry. Did not realize when purchasing that it would not fit.
