4.6 Information on Alignment/Adjustment

CAUTION
Use of unsuitable prosthesis components
Falling due to unexpected behaviour of the product or breakage of load-bearing components.
► Use the product only in combination with components listed in the section "Combination possibilities" (see
Page 52).
CAUTION
Improper assembly of the screw connections
Falling due to breakage or loosening of the screw connections.
► Clean the threads before every installation.
► Apply the specified installation torque values.
► Observe the instructions for securing the screw connections and the use of the correct length.
CAUTION
Incorrect alignment or assembly
Falling due to damage to the prosthesis components.
► Observe the alignment and assembly instructions.
CAUTION
Errors during prosthesis alignment
Falling due to breakage of load-bearing components.
► At maximum extension (reached under full load!), it is essential to maintain a minimum distance of 3 mm (1/8")
between the hydraulic unit and the socket.
► At maximum flexion and insofar as contact with the frame of the knee joint cannot be avoided (in case of volu­
minous residual limbs), the socket must lie flat against the frame. Soft cushioning on the socket will assist in
keeping the socket flat.
► If there is contact between the frame and the joint at maximum flexion, then the joint must be fitted with a flex­
ion stop (e.g. in the case of voluminous residual limbs).
