 Use soap and warm water to clean and/or disinfect the foot shell.
Wet or dirty environments may cause the ankle module to malfunction and make it

difficult to operate.
o If the ankle module is exposed to wet or dirty environments, it is
recommended to periodically clean and lubricate the module in order to
minimize impact on module performance.
Disassemble from shell, rinse with fresh water and thoroughly dry.

If corrosion or buildup has occurred, clean the ankle mechanism

with solvent (i.e., acetone, WD-40) and compressed air.
Cycle the mechanism thru the entire range while cleaning.

Lubricate the slide with light grease, or spray lubricant and wipe off

excess.
Have the foot module serviced at the intervals specified by the prosthetist.

Wet or dirty environments may cause the ankle module to malfunction and make it

difficult to operate.
Never allow aggregates such as sand to remain in the foot shell.


periodically clean and lubricate the module in order to minimize impact on module
performance.
o Disassemble from shell, rinse with fresh water and thoroughly dry.

o Lubricate the slide with light grease, or spray lubricant and wipe off excess.
Always use the foot with a foot shell. Failure to comply may cause premature wear,

loss of function, and/or product failure.
Avoid over-tightening shoelaces or straps in a manner that interferes with the heel

adjustment mechanism.
Always use the foot with a sock and shoe. Failure to comply may cause noise,

premature wear, loss of function, and/or product failure.
Do not attempt to adjust the ankle while standing, without a grab rail or other

appropriate fixed object for support.
Never attempt to loosen the bolts affixing the ankle mechanism to the keel.

Discontinue use and consult prosthetist if prosthesis starts to make any noise.

Do not share your prosthesis with others; it may cause damage to the device and/or

Test bumper placement
Temporarily attach at recommended location using pre-applied adhesive. Suggested
placement will stiffen the heel by approximately one category. If necessry, adjust anterior/
posterior placement to achieve desired stiffness.
Permanently bond
Lightly abrade carbon fiber with sandpaper, then clean with acetone. Remove temporary
adhesive on bumpers using a cloth with acetone. Do not soak bumpers in acetone. Bond
bumpers in pre-selected position using cyanoacrylate (Super Glue).
