5.1 Mounting the adapter
CAUTION
Improper assembly of the screw connections
Risk of injury due to breakage or loosening of the screw connections
► Clean the threads before every installation.
► Apply the specified torque values.
► Follow the instructions regarding the length of the screws and about
how to secure the screws.
Required tools and materials: Grinding tool, 710D4 torque wrench,
>
degreasing cleaning agent (e.g. 634A3 acetone), special adhesive and
hardener (see Page 11, table of spare parts/accessories)
1) For prosthetic feet with wooden components, roughen the connection
surface and remove the grinding dust.
2) INFORMATION: The foot adapter has to be glued to the prosthetic
foot. Use the specified special adhesive for this purpose.
Mix the special adhesive and hardener well together and apply to the
connection surface.
3) Clean any soiling (e.g. caused by grease) on the metal surface of the
foot adapter to be glued with a degreasing cleaning agent.
4) Position the foot adapter on the prosthetic foot, insert the screw and
washer from below and tighten it (installation torque: 2 to 4 Nm).
5) After 3 to 4 hours, tighten the screw connection with the required
installation torque (see table).
6) Leave the glued surface to harden (16 hours at 20 °C – the time
increases for lower temperatures).
