► For adjusting the swing phase friction, note Fig.
► CAUTION! The prosthetic knee joint has to reach full extension, even at slower walking
speeds. Observe the information under the heading "Fine-tuning the settings".
► Adjust the swing phase friction so that the prosthetic knee joint does not swing too hard
against the extension stop and so that the prosthetic foot swings through sufficiently accord­
ing to the needs of the patient.
Fine-tuning the settings
► CAUTION! The various settings of the prosthetic knee joint cannot be adjusted entirely inde­
pendently of each other. When the settings cannot be fully adjusted to the comfort needs of
the patient, the settings should be established primarily based on safety aspects.
► Adapt the settings of the prosthetic knee joint to the patient by means of fine-tuning and exer­
cises.
► If the extension position is not reached with every step and at any walking speed, reduce the
braking effect and/or increase the initial tension of the extension assist.
► Check the adjustment of the prosthesis settings during normal consultations and the annual
safety inspection.
Advise the patient to check the prosthesis if changes in function occur.
6.5 Attaching the cosmetic cover
CAUTION
Use of talcum
Risk of injury, damage to the product due to lack of lubrication
► Do not use talcum on the product or other prosthesis components.
► Note the following points for attaching the cosmetic cover:
• The cosmetic cover must not interfere with the movement of the lock release cable.
• After completion, verify functioning of the lock.
• Check the settings from the dynamic trial fitting.
► To reduce friction and to eliminate noise, apply 519L5 Silicone Spray directly onto the contact
surfaces of the cosmetic foam cover.
6.6 Finishing the prosthesis
► CAUTION! To avoid product damage and the risk of falling, finish the prosthesis by replacing
set screws that are too short or too long, and by tightening all screw connections. In doing so,
note the instructions for use for all prosthesis components regarding torque values and thread
lock.
