2 Safety Information

This warning symbol highlights important safety information which must be
followed carefully.
1. Be aware of finger trap hazard at all times.
2. Any changes in the performance or function of the limb e.g. instability, double-
action, restricted movement, non-smooth motion or unusual noises should be
immediately reported to your service provider.
3. Always use a hand rail when descending stairs and at any other time if available.
4. Any excessive changes in heel height after finalization of alignment may adversely
affect limb function.
5. After continuous use the cylinder can become hot.
6. The device is not designed for prolonged submersion. Ensure any use of the device
in water complies with the conditions given in "Limitations on Use" (see Section 6).
7. After any period of immersion in water, rinse the device with fresh clean water and
then thoroughly dry before reuse.
8. Ensure only suitably retrofitted vehicles are used when driving. All persons are
required to observe their respective driving laws when operating motor vehicles.
9. Care should be taken when carrying heavy loads as this may adversely affect the
stability of the device.
10. The user should be advised to contact their practitioner if their condition changes.
11. Avoid exposure to extreme heat and/or cold.
12. Assembly, maintenance and repair of the device must only be carried out by a
suitably qualified clinician.
Note... The device is supplied with the cosmetic cover detached. Although the device can be
configured with the cosmetic cover attached, the adjustment cap is more accessible with the cover
detached. Therefore it is easier to first align and configure the device for the user (see Sections 7 to
10) while the cosmetic cover is off (taking care to avoid finger trap hazards), then, when configuration
is completed, immediately attach the cosmetic cover (see Section 12) to help protect against finger
trap hazards in use.
