CAUTION
Unallowable use of lubricants
Risk of injury and loss of functionality as well as damage to the product
► The product is designed to be free of lubricants. Avoid contact with lubricants (e.g. grease, oil).
► After contact with lubricants, promptly clean the product or parts of the product with a degreasing cleaning
agent (e.g. acetone or isopropyl alcohol).
NOTICE
Do not make any structural changes to mechanical or electronic system components.
Please note that the orthosis must be inspected for functionality and signs of wear and tear every six months, that
the axial washer and bushing may need to be replaced and that the effectiveness of the locking function and elec­
tronics must be verified (for example: visual inspection of cable routing).
The joint connection (bushing and pin) is lubricant-free. The joint mechanism may be optionally protected against
dirt with suitable protective devices (such as joint protectors) in order to ensure proper joint functionality.
The joint and electronic components are designed to be resistant against splashed water but are not waterproof!

schedules as part of your documentation and advise the customer of the need for regular maintenance.
INFORMATION
There is a serial number on the E-MAG case. Take note of it. It serves as proof of the guarantee and is used to
identify the corresponding electronic components.
7.1 Verification of functionality and inspection for wear
CAUTION
Risk of malfunction due to disassembly
The magnet (see fig. 39, item 8), electronics (see fig. 39, item 2) and actuating bolt (see fig. 39, item 4) must not
be loosened or removed, since this can affect the functionality of the orthotic knee joint.

a template for making copies. We recommend including a copy in your documentation after each maintenance
order is completed. Also be sure to inform your customer about the required maintenance intervals.
