► At maximum flexion, it is essential to maintain a minimum distance of 3 mm (1/8") between the hydraulic unit
and the socket.
► At maximum extension (reached under full load), it is essential to maintain a minimum distance of 5 mm (1/5")
between the sealing sleeve and the socket. When the protector is used, the minimum distance between the
electronic unit and the socket must be at least 10 mm (3/8").
► At maximum flexion and insofar as contact with the frame of the knee joint cannot be avoided (in case of volu­
minous residual limbs), the socket must lie flat against the frame. Soft cushioning on the socket will assist in
keeping the socket flat.
► If there is contact between the frame and the joint at maximum flexion, then the joint must be fitted with a flex­
ion stop (e.g. in the case of voluminous residual limbs).
