SERVICE
To ensure proper function, it is recommended that the Ankle is inspected every six
months to check for signs of unusual wear. Refer to the image on page 12 of this
manual and visually inspect:
• The Hardstop Cover in the front of the ankle and the Internal Guard at the back
of the ankle joint for wear.
• The condition of the fasteners on the Battery Hinge and Battery Holster.
Ensure that they are firmly in place.
• The Carbon Spring for cracking or delamination.
• The Foot Module for signs of excessive wear and loose bolts.
• The Battery area that mates with the Battery for bent pins.
CLEANING
Utilize a small dry brush to clean any debris or dirt from the Ankle. Clean the Ankle
with a damp cloth and mild soap or isopropyl alcohol. Remove the Foot Cover and
clean any debris on the inside. Use a soft cloth to clean any dirt or debris from the
Foot Module and the heel wedge area.
• DO NOT use solvents stronger than isopropyl alcohol.
• DO NOT use compressed air to clean the system, as it can cause the Ankle to malfunction
and deteriorate prematurely.
RETUNING
To ensure proper performance of the Ankle, the Ankle should be retuned by a
trained healthcare professional after 2 weeks of initial use and again after 6 weeks
of use.
