CAUTION
Incorrect alignment or assembly
Risk of injury due to damaged prosthetic components
1� Observe the alignment and assembly instructions�
Caution!
Examine the parts for any damage or deformation before re-
using them� Damaged tubes and tubes which have been in use
for more than 5 years must be replaced� The year of manufacture
code is indicated on the tube (Fig� 3)�
The Length Adjustable Tube Adapter (2R45=S/2R45=34) has modular
connections and is ready for installation (distal = pyramid receiver with
set screw, proximal = 2R45=S: 30mm tube/2R45=34: 34-mm tube)� The
instructions for static alignment according to instructions for use for the
specific components should be taken into consideration� It is advisable
to set the central vertical scaling line centrically in the tube adapter slot
during the static alignment�
Alignment is optimized during trial fitting by making adjustments to the
adapter in length and rotation position� 2R45=34: The graduated scales
allow for a precise adjustment (Fig� 1)�
Fine changes in the alignment can be performed at any time with 506G3
Adjustment Set Screws� When changing a module or in case of disas-
sembly, the previously determined position can be maintained, if two
adjacent set screws (specifically those most deeply screwed in) are re-
moved�
Caution!
2R45=34: Pulling out the tube above the STOP mark and short-
ening the tube is prohibited (see Fig� 4)�
Tighten the socket head cap screw of the tube clamp with a torque
of 2R45=S: 13 Nm/2R45=34: 10 Nm and the 506G3 Adjustment Set
Screws with a torque of 15 Nm (see Fig� 2)�
Once you have finished the trial fitting, mark the height and perpendicu-
