8.2

Mounting the Cover Plate

Make sure not to damage the sliding washer during the assembly. Jammed sliding
washer particles can cause lateral play in the system joint.
1 Clean the threads of the cover plate with LOCTITE® 7063 Super Clean, if necessary.
2 Apply spray adhesive on one side of the second sliding washer and adhere it to the cover
plate (fig. 10).
3 Grease the other side slightly with orthosis joint grease.
4 Place the cover plate onto the system stirrup.
5 Screw in the first countersunk flat head screw (axle screw, S1;
fig. 11).
6 Screw in the second countersunk flat head screw (S2; fig. 12).
8.3

Checking the System Joint's Free Movement

Check if the system joint moves freely. If the system joint runs with
lateral play, mount the next thicker sliding washer. If it does not move
freely (it is jammed), mount the next thinner sliding washer.
8.4

Securing the Screws

The screws are secured after the orthosis has been produced and tried on and before it is handed over to the
patient.
1 Secure the screws for the cover plate (fig. 12) with the torque corresponding to the system width and
LOCTITE® 243 medium strength.
2 Let the adhesive harden (final strength after approx. 24 hours).
