must always be seated Before the body weight is supported on the prosthesis after adjusting the length, the
screws on the tube clamp of the knee joint must first be tightened to the prescribed torque values

INFORMATION
If
• the AXON Tube Adapter is shortened excessively,
• the foot has been replaced with a foot with insufficient system height,
• a shorter AXON Tube Adapter is used in the event of a service joint,
intermediate adapters (eg 4R84) are used to compensate for the height difference
If this is the case, the knee axis-ankle adapter distance must be re-entered in the software
In general, the AXON Tube Adapter should be left as long as possible
