For the first brace fitting, you can loosen or tighten
the back end of the #1 and #2 straps (the end that is
looped through d-rings). You may also trim the straps
by removing the strap end and trimming directly on the
appropriate hole based on the desired length. Replace the

both the thigh and calf dark gray ratchet levers as many
increments as needed.
F. To loosen the ratchet buckles or reduce the offloading,
simply press the lighter gray button while pulling the
other end of the strap.
G. To remove the brace, unfasten all three straps by
squeezing the gray buttons. It doesn't matter the order
you unfasten the straps.
HINGE RANGE OF MOTION ADJUSTMENT
To change hinge stops, first remove the condyle pad
held in place by hook/loop fastener. Simply pull the pad
off the hinge plate. To replace the pad be sure that it is
positioned properly and firmly push it onto the hook/
loop fastener.
Next, use a screwdriver to remove screws. Remove
existing stop, insert new stop, replace screw. Be sure that
