Secure the screws for the cover plate with the torque corresponding to the system width and LOCTITE® 243
medium strength at every maintenance (see paragraph 9.6). Remove all adhesive residues first.
13.1 Checking the Battery Health
If the orthosis is equipped with a controller with integrated lithium-polymer battery, check the battery health
regularly (see manual Multi-Purpose Device). To do so, connect the controller with the multi-purpose device/
Expert app. If the battery health is no longer good, replace the controller on the orthosis.
13.2 Replacing the Sliding Washers
Sliding washers are available in different thicknesses (e.g. GS1407-040 is 0.40mm thick). Each thickness has
a different marking (fig. 32). You will find the article numbers of the premounted sliding washers on the back
page of this manual.

2 Slide the lever into the hole in the cover plate (3).
3 Slide the ball (4) and the pressure spring (5) into the lever.

5 Secure the sub-assembly with the retaining washer for shafts (7) on
the cover plate.
