11.11. Power-Off Behavior
When the battery is depleted or the knee has been put into
storage mode, a Power-Off Flexion resistance is used. The
power-off flexion resistance can be adjusted to accommodate
different user preferences and weights.
!
PLEASE HAVE YOUR PROSTHETIST ADJUST THIS
SETTING FOR YOU.
Making an Adjustment:
With the QUATTRO knee fully extended, insert a 3mm
hex wrench into the power-off flexion resistance screw: CW
adjustments provide more flexion resistance and CCW
adjustments provide less flexion resistance.
!
DO NOT FLEX THE KNEE WITH THE HEX WRENCH
INSERTED, THIS MAY CAUSE PERMANENT DAMAGE TO
YOUR DEVICE.

14 | Cleaning
Use clean tap water to rinse off your QUATTRO knee. A soft-
bristled brush (such as a toothbrush) is acceptable to dislodge
stuck dirt on the outside of the knee only. Using any other
chemicals or soaps on the QUATTRO may void the warranty.
Dry the knee thoroughly with a towel after rinsing. Do not use
a hairdryer, which may damage the electronics and void the
warranty.
