Installing the handle:
This handle was designed to be installed with two fastening screws. Any installation using just one screw could cause
inadvertent unlocking of the mechanism to which it is linked.
•
On the positive, make a flat area at least the size of the insert 5 (40
mm high x 12 wide)
•
ON LAMINATE SOCKET
•
ON THERMOFORMED SOCKET
•
Clear the access to the two tapped holes in the insert 5
•
Adjust the length of screws 8 and 9 (if necessary, according to the thickness of the socket wall, replacing them
with screws 14 and 15).
The mechanism must be disassembled to adjust the length of the screws, to prevent any risk of deterioration of the
plastic parts
•
Fasten the handle using a 2 mm Allen screw, by screwing in screws 8 and 9 into the two holes in the insert 5:
recommended torque 0.4 Nm
Overtightening screw 9 could jam the mechanism
•
Determine the useful length of the sheath 10, and cut it to the right length
•
Install the sheath 10 on the cable 6
•
Fasten the sheath10 using bridge fittings 11 and screws 12 (or rivets 16, depending on the socket thickness)
•
The cable can then be connected to the knee
Check that with the handle in the up position the knee lock is not at its unlocking end stop
• For patients experiencing difficulty finding the position of release button 4b under their clothing, stick the
adhesive stop 13 onto this button
It is strongly advisable to reinforce the bonding of the stop 13 on the button 4b using a cyanoacrylate glue
Replacing the cable (3A24 25):
In case of a cable break, replace as follows:
a) With the handle in place on the socket, fully unscrew screw 9 (without touching screw 8)
b) Slightly lift the bottom part of the cover 4
c) Remove the damaged cable 6
d) Insert a new cable
e) Refit screw 9

•
Install the knee on the socket 5 fitted with its connection plate 6, inserting in between the metal
plate 4 and intermediate block 2, with its upper face pre-glued (resin).
•
Glue the lower part of the socket (only surfaces opposite the upper face of the intermediate block
2).
•
Position the insert 5 in the centre of this area (tapped holes
downward), trapping it under the two outer layers of fabric
•
Use your normal laminating method
•
Allow the full resin setting time
•
Position the insert 5 in the centre of the flat area (tapped
holes downward), making sure to introduce between the
insert and the positive a shim 2 mm thick, cut to the
external dimensions of the insert, in order to properly
incorporate the insert in the thermoform
