Assembling The Locking Parts; Mounting The Cover Plate; Checking The System Joint's Free Movement - FIOR & GENTZ NEURO MATIC Manual De Instrucciones

8.1 Assembling the Locking Parts

Make sure not to damage the sliding washer during the assembly.
Jammed sliding washer particles can cause lateral play in the
system joint.
1 Grease the axle bore of the locking pawl and of the toothed ring as well
as the friction surfaces of the bearing nuts slightly with orthosis joint
grease. Make sure that no grease enters the toothing of the locking pawl
and the toothed ring.
2 Put the bearing nut for the locking pawl into the opening of the joint's
lower part (fig. 10).
3 Mount the locking pawl (fig. 11).
4 Put the bearing nut for the joint axis into the opening of the joint's
lower part (fig. 12).
5 Grease the first sliding washer slightly on both sides with orthosis joint
grease and place it onto the joint's lower part (fig. 13).
6 Put the toothed ring on the front side of the joint's upper part so that
it is flush with the joint's upper part. The wavy cut-out has to point in
direction of the joint's upper part (fig. 14-15).
7 Mount the joint's upper part (fig. 16). Make sure that the joint's upper
part is placed without play.
8 Apply spray adhesive on one side of the second sliding washer and
adhere it to the cover plate (fig. 17).
9 Grease the other side slightly with orthosis joint grease.

8.2 Mounting the Cover Plate

The lever of the cover plate is already preassembled. For the following
steps, the lever has to be set on A.
1 Clean the threads of the cover plate with LOCTITE® 7063 Super
Clean, if necessary.
2 Place the cover plate onto the system joint.
3 Screw in the first countersunk flat head screw (axle screw, S1;
fig. 18).
4 Screw in the second countersunk flat head screw (S2; fig. 19).

8.3 Checking the System Joint's Free Movement

Check if the system joint moves freely. If the system joint runs with
lateral play, mount the next thicker sliding washer. If it does not move
freely (it is jammed), mount the next thinner sliding washer.
