Replacing the Extension Stopper Rubber

・Be sure to remove oil and grease. If they are not fully removed, the 

double-sided tape may not be properly attached and the extension 
stopper rubber may peel off.

・DO NOT use thinner or acetone to remove oil or grease. These degreasing 

agents may dissolve paint. Contact with the hydraulic seal may cause 
damage to the rubber, resulting in oil leakage.

Maintenance

1

While flexing the knee joint approximately 90°, remove the extension 
stopper rubber. As a double-sided tape is attached on the back of the 
extension stopper rubber, it is recommended to use a sharp-pointed stick 
to remove the rubber.

2

Remove dirt and dust from the inside of the groove. Completely remove 
the double-sided tape without any residual piece. Finally, remove oil or 
grease using aerosol.

3

First, remove the protective cover of a new double-sided tape for the 
extension stopper rubber. Then, turning the surface with projections 
upward and placing the thicker side forward, insert it into the groove. 
After that, press it with sufficient force.
