Front Stop Adjustment - Non-Adjustable Intelligent Prosthesis
(As fitted to older SmartIP models.)
No adjustment is necessary when using these cylinders. They require the front stop to be fully
tightened as shown in Stage 1.

required to support ML loading.
Simultaneous full contact between
the stops and the shin is NOT
required.
Apply a light extension load to the knee and
gradually unscrew the piston rod (lengthening
the cylinder) until the chassis edge is parallel
with the top of the shin.
The instructions in this section are for practitioner use only.
Withdraw trunnion clamp screw
and apply LOCTITE 222 to thread,
re-assemble and tighten.
