REASSEMBLING THE ARM
A. Feed the inlet/outlet tube through the large channel and out the hole in the upper arm. Replace the
muscle pad over it.
B. Pour the remaining lubricant into the skin, allowing lubricant to run down the sides (See figure 7.)
Squeeze the skin between extended hands. Work your hands back and forth, up and down the skin
to coat the inside of the skin thoroughly.
C. Grasping the skin with both hands, slide the skin down over the core until the fingers are approach-
ing the finger holes (See figure 8.) (Caution: work the skin on gently — pulling hard on the end of
the skin can stretch or tear the material.) As the skin is worked down over the core, be sure that the
tubing remains in the channels.
D. Guide the fingers and thumb carefully into the proper holes. Mistakes can be corrected by sliding
the skin back an inch or two from the fingers and beginning again. If air has been trapped in the
fingertips, make a small vent hole beneath the fingernail with a 22-gauge needle.
E. After the fingers are positioned in the hand, slide the skin over the remainder of the core to provide a
snug fit. (See figure 9.)

F.
Feel along the tubing channel to make sure that the tubing is correctly seated. Tubing that has
moved can usually be moved back into position by working on the outside of the skin. (See figure 10.)
