Optional: Installing The Foam Cover - Ottobock 1G6 Instrucciones De Uso

2) Insert the screw on the foot sole side in the prosthetic foot and screw the
ankle block to the prosthetic foot (torque: 30 Nm).
3) Conduct the fitting of the ankle block.
4) Loosen the screw connection between the prosthetic foot and the ankle
block.
5) Sand the ankle block according to the contour of the prosthetic foot.
6) Roughen the connection surface of the prosthetic foot in an a – p direc­
tion using the sandpaper.
7) Remove the dust from the sanded surfaces.
8) Mix the adhesive for the connection between the ankle block and the
prosthetic foot.
9) INFORMATION: Do not put adhesive in the hole for the screw con­
nection.
Apply adhesive evenly to the connection surfaces of the ankle block and
prosthetic foot.
10) Align the ankle block and prosthetic foot with each other.
11) Insert the screw on the foot sole side in the prosthetic foot and screw the
ankle block to the prosthetic foot (torque: 30 Nm).
12) Wipe off adhesive that comes out of the joint using a cloth.
13) Remove any remnants of the adhesive using a suitable solvent.
14) Allow the adhesive to cure (curing time: 16 h).

5.4 Optional: Installing the foam cover

The foam cover sits between the prosthetic socket and prosthetic foot. It is
cut longer in order to compensate for the movements of the prosthetic foot
and prosthetic knee joint. During flexion of the prosthetic knee joint, the foam
cover undergoes posterior compression and anterior elongation. The foam
cover should be stretched as little as possible in order to increase its service
life. There is a connecting element (such as a connection plate, connection
cap or connection cover) on the prosthetic foot.
Required materials: degreasing cleaner (e.g. 634A58 isopropyl alco­
>
hol), 636N9 contact adhesive or 636W17 plastic adhesive
1) Measure the length of the foam cover on the prosthesis and add the
length allowance.
TT prostheses: Distal allowance for movement of the prosthetic foot.
TF prostheses: Allowance proximal of the knee rotation point for flexion
of the prosthetic knee joint and distal allowance for movement of the
prosthetic foot.
2) Cut the pre-shaped foam cover to length and fit it in the proximal area on
the prosthetic socket.
