Assembly Instructions

The system joint is delivered fully assembled. All functions are checked beforehand. You have to disassemble
the system joint for mounting it in the orthosis and for maintenance. To ensure an optimal functioning, follow
the assembly instructions below. Secure all screws with the torque specified in paragraph 8.6.
8.1

Mounting the Locking Pawl

1 Stick the pressure spring into the spring guide.
2 Insert the spring guide including the pressure spring from below into the spring duct of
the joint's upper part (fig. 4).
3 Grease the axle bore of the locking pawl and the friction surfaces of the locking pawl's
bearing nut with orthosis joint grease.
4 Mount the locking pawl with premounted fixing pawl into the joint's upper part (fig. 5)
5 Put the bearing nut for the locking pawl into the intended opening
of the joint's upper part. Make sure that the cut-outs of the bearing
nut and the joint's upper part match (fig. 6). The bearing nut must
be fully inserted in the opening.
6 Place the cover disc of the locking pawl onto the front of the joint's
upper part. Make sure that the cut-outs of the cover disc and the
joint's upper part match.
7 Fix the locking pawl by pushing it upwards and letting the fixing
pawl snap into place on the joint's upper part.
8 Screw in the countersunk flat head screw (S1; fig. 7).
8.2

Mounting the Extension Stop

1 Stick the cheese head screw (1; fig. 8) into the extension stop (2).
2 Place the pressure spring (3) onto the cheese head screw (1).
3 Screw the sub-assembly into the joint's lower part.
The extension stop influences the position of the locking pawl. The further
the extension stop is screwed in, the higher the position of the locking pawl
is. Note paragraph 8.5 for the ideal position of the locking pawl.
8.3

Mounting the Joint's Lower Part

1 Grease the two sliding washers slightly on both sides with orthosis joint grease.
2 Place the sliding washers on both sides of the joint's lower part. Do not place the sliding
washers centrally, but slightly above the bore (fig. 9).
