During operation
To experience ideal support from the BionicBack, there
is an individual combination of settings for every
application and every body. The best way to find this
individual combination is to initially test many different
settings.
For this purpose, you can at any time also adjust the
position of your shoulder, waist and leg straps.
Below you will find a few potential scenarios and hints
to find the suitable setting:
Scenario
The
BionicBack
prevents
you
from
bending forward.
The leg shells slide up
and down your thighs.
Hint
The BionicBack offers
light support against a
hunched
back
but
should by no means
block
your
bending
movement. Test the
system again without
support
(open
the
adjustment buckles at
the left and right hip
shell) and then bit by bit
make the adjustment
on the left hand side
and then on the right
hand side. Determine a
suitable setting for your
bending movement in
this manner.
Have you set the
adjustable
retaining
strap to the correct
length?
Have
you
secured the retaining
strap on the leg shell?
This will keep the leg
shell in position. If you
have already done this,
it may be helpful to pull
the
leg
shells
somewhat tighter.
The support is rather
weak although both
setting ranges have
been fully exhausted.

Taking out of operation
To take off the BionicBack, first deactivate both
supports by opening the adjustment buckles in both hip
elements. If you then bend slightly forward, the system
will automatically extend. Expand all straps one after
the other, release the retaining straps and open the
fasteners. Now you can slip out of the shoulder straps.
Expanding the hip and shoulder
straps before opening the fasteners
will make it easier to don the
BionicBack next time.
10 Maintenance
Maintenance interval
Before use
Weekly/as required
Semi-annually
-35-
For shorter and/or more
slender persons it is
recommended to pull
the
leg
shells
somewhat further down
the thigh in direction of
the knee and to adjust
them more tightly there.
This pretensions the
support modules so
they can take effect
sooner.
Activity
Visual inspection of the
components
for
damage.
Cleaning the system.
