Action
• Replace heel wedge with a smaller one
• Shift socket posteriorly (or foot anteriorly).
HEEL WEDGES CM150011
The wedge can influence the heel to toe function. Start altering the heel
resistance to improve foot response by adding a heel wedge. The 2°, 4° &
6° wedges can be interchanged to customize the stiffness and achieve
the desired functional characteristics.
1. 2°– yellow
2. 4°– red
3. 6°– blue
TEMPORARY WEDGE PLACEMENT
• Cut the wedge to the width of the foot module.
• Roughen the upper and lower surface of the wedge with
abrasive paper.
• Place the wedge in the angle of heel and foot module.
• Secure in position bond to upper surface with tape wrapped around
the foot module. (Figure 6)
PERMANENT WEDGE PLACEMENT
• Apply adhesive on the upper side of the wedge only.
• Locate in the foot/heel junction and position before adhesive sets.
• For split toe feet install the heel wedge then remove a thin slice in the
middle by cutting with a sharp knife through the split in the carbon
foot module. (Figure 7)
Instant adhesive is necessary to bond the urethane heel wedge. The
adhesive cures in 15-20 seconds. For removal the adhesive may be
softened by soaking in acetone or cyanoacrylate adhesive remover.
PROTECTIVE FILM ON PYRAMID
The protective film protects the pyramid from scratching. Remove the
film when the fitting is complete.
HEEL DIVIDER
The heel divider should be placed in the posterior of the splitted heel
part. To secure its position a drop of instant adhesive can be used on
one side.
FLEX-FOOT SOCK
The toe end of the sock is divided by a thread and fits within the toe split.
Upon fitting the sock, hold the top of the toe thread and slide the sock
into the toe split. The thread of the sock should rest on top of foot
module and not underneath the toe split. The sock should be loose from
the heel area and secured proximally with the cable tie provided.
SHOE HORN
When removing and installing the cover use shoehorn to avoid damage
to foot or cover. (Figure 8)
Note: Tampering with the bolts that attach the shock unit with the foot
module, will void the warranty of the product.
