Medline Cup and Cane Holder FAQs
How do I install the cup/cane holder?
Cup Holder Installation:
To install the cup holder, first ensure you have all the necessary components: the U-shaped clamp, two scored rubber inserts, and the cup holder with its star knob. Begin by snapping the U-shaped clamp onto the tubing of your walker, rollator, or transport chair, making sure to position the clamp in a way that will keep the cup level to prevent spills. If needed, insert the rubber sleeves to achieve a tighter fit on the tubing, as the clamp should fit snugly to prevent the holder from slipping. Next, remove the star-shaped knob from the cup holder, insert the holder through the opening in the clamp, and then tighten the knob to securely attach the cup holder.
Cane Holder Installation:
For the cane holder, start by gathering all the required parts: the rotating basket, the rotating two-hole clamp, six plastic inserts, and the Velcro strap. Begin by attaching the rotating basket towards the bottom of your mobility device. To do this, remove the star-shaped knob, fit the opening of the basket around the tubing, and tightly screw the knob back on, ensuring the basket faces outward to properly hold the base of the cane. Use the plastic inserts if necessary to improve the fit on the tubing. Note that the basket can rotate and lock into four different positions. Then, affix the rotating two-hole clamp towards the top of your mobility device, keeping in mind that the cane's base will sit in the basket and this clamp secures the cane. Remove the star-shaped knob, fit the clamp's opening around the tubing, and screw the knob back on tightly, with the open-faced clamp facing outward, positioned one to two feet above the basket. Again, use the insert pieces if needed for a better fit, and remember that this clamp also rotates and locks into four different positions. After attaching both pieces, place the cane into the upper clamp, allowing its base to rest in the basket, and adjust the components to ensure the cane is balanced and secure. For additional security, snap the Velcro piece around the tubing of the mobility device and wrap the strap around the cane.
