• Remove the foot shell and Spectra™ sock to adjust the ankle shims.
• Ensure ankle assembly is clean and appropriately lubricated before adjustment.
• Use a 1/8” hex wrench (provided) to tighten slide adjustment screws located on
the underside of the pyramid slide.
• Tighten each screw until firm resistance is felt, then loosen until resistance to
slide movement is minimal.
• Check slide action after each shim is adjusted.
• If shims are loose, the ankle may make noise when walked. If shims are too
tight, the ankle mechanism will be difficult to adjust. (See Figure below)

Use soap and warm water to clean and/or disinfect the foot shell.
Wet or dirty environments may cause the ankle module to malfunction and make it
difficult to operate.
o
If the ankle module is exposed to wet or dirty environments, it is
recommended to periodically clean and lubricate the module in order to
minimize impact on module performance.
Disassemble from shell, rinse with fresh water and thoroughly dry.
If corrosion or buildup has occurred, clean the ankle mechanism
with solvent (i.e., acetone, WD-40) and compressed air.
