4.2 Adjustments and final assembly
Attention!
Prior to final assembly (i.e. prior to inserting the tube adapter into the tube clamp
adapter), the inside of the tube clamp adapter and the outside of the tube adapter
must be cleaned with 634A3 (Acetone)!
For final assembly, tighten the cap screw with 710D1 Torque Wrench.
Torque:13 Nm (Fig. 4, item 2).
Attention!
The clamping slot of the tube clamp adapter must always be positioned anteriorly.
Static corrections are possible at any time during alignment and trial walking as well as after
completion of the prosthesis using the four 506G3 Set Screws. To exchange a module or during
disassembly the previous position may be retained by loosening only the two most deeply screwed
in, adjacent set screws.
Replace set screws that appear too long (to prevent foam cover damage) or too short (stability)
with the appropriate screw length.
Set screws are available in the following sizes.

Use 710D4 Torque Wrench to tighten the set screws.
For trial fitting:
Tighten the 506G3 Set Screws clockwise to 10 Nm.
To finish the prosthesis:
Secure the 506G3 Set Screws with 636K13 Loctite and pre-
tighten to 10 Nm. Then complete assembly by tightening to 15 Nm (Fig. 5, item 1).
4.3 Maintenance instructions
Note:
As a basic principle, all Ottobock modular adapters are subjected to tests involving three
million load cycles. Depending on the amputee's activity this corresponds to a service life of
three to five years.
We recommend carrying out regular safety checks once a year.
