Safety Precaution

Discontinue using this product and contact your practitioner in case that your body weight
significantly increased than before. If used for a person weighing over 125 kg, or 100 kg
for a high active user or a hip prosthesis user, damage of parts may occur, leading to falling.
This, however, does not preclude loading and unloading of baggage, etc. occurring in daily
life.

DO NOT place the hand behind the knee when flexing the knee, and DO NOT touch the
knee joint when extending it. The hand can be caught, causing injury.

DO NOT provide any high impact to the knee joint such as jumping down from a high
position and doing very active sports, damage of parts may occur, leading to failing.

Be recommended to use a torsion adapter for the user who gives the knee joint a big torsion
force, such as a golfer and a hip disarticulation amputee.

Upon detecting any abnormal noise, play, or drop in hydraulic resistance, discontinue use
and contact your prosthetic clinic.
