Re-assemble the Limb

Connect the shin extension cable to the ankle
module cable (for the shortest pylon the
extension cable will not be required).
To fit the pylon to the ankle, thread the
connecting cable through the small hole in
the bottom of the pylon pyramid and gently
push the pylon down into the ankle housing
ensuring it engages the grommet seal.
Tighten the ankle set screws to secure the
pylon.
Lay the ankle and knee flat on the work top
and connect the knee module cable to the
ankle module cable.
Taking care not to damage the connecting
cable carefully slide the knee onto the top of
the pylon tube with a slight twisting action.
Align the knee and ankle and tighten the
clamp screw.
