7 Fitting Advice

The instructions in this section are for practitioner use only.
Position as close as possible to the build line.
Note... This kit is designed for use with sockets that are 5–6 mm thick at the distal end and are
manufactured using Blatchford socket formers.
1. With the socket plate inside the socket, pass the threaded Alignment Bolt through the hole
in the end of the socket.
2. On the outside of the socket, and working from inside the socket, pass the Alignment
Coupling and Friction Disk over the bolt followed by any spacers used, ensuring that the
friction surface of the spacer is distal and touches the upper surface of the knee.
3. Pass the Alignment Bolt through the centre of the single bolt hole in the upper surface of
the knee.
4. Invert the knee and with the socket plate and bolt supported, pass the washer over the
central bolt followed by the nut, ensuring that the raised central lip on the nut engages
with the mating surface of the washer.
5. Apply Loctite 222 to the thread of the Alignment Bolt. Adjust and align the limb according
to the Instructions For Use supplied with the knee, then tighten the Alignment Nut and Bolt
to 35 Nm.
6. Seal with silicone for waterproofing.
