It is recommended that the following maintenance is carried out annually:
• Remove the foot shell and glide sock, check for damage or wear and replace if necessary.
• Check all screws for tightness (see Section 3), clean and reassemble as necessary.
• Visually check the heel and toe springs for signs of delamination or wear and replace if
necessary. Some surface damage may occur after a period of use;
this does not affect the function or strength of the foot.
The user must be handed the User Guide supplied, and be advised of the following:
Before connecting the charger to the device, always check that the magnetic mating surfaces
of the charging connector and charging terminal are clean, dry and free of debris that could
prevent correct charging operation; if not, clean, dry and remove any debris as necessary before
connection (see Cleaning below).

Changes in performance may include:
• Increase or decrease in knee and/or ankle stiffness

• Reduced ankle/knee support (free movement)
• Any unusual noise
• Any unrecognized beeps or warning lights.
The user should be advised that a regular visual check of the foot is recommended, signs of wear
that may affect function should be reported to their service provider (e.g. significant wear or
excessive discoloration from long term exposure to UV).
Cleaning

Ensure water/liquids do not enter the charging socket. Thoroughly dry before use.
