While holding the Tendon Back Plate against the back of your thigh and above the crease behind your knee turn the Cable Tensioning Dial clockwise until the cable is tight.
After adjusting the Cable Tensioning Dial to your desired amount of resistance, there should be between 0.10” (2 mm) and 1.00” (25 mm) of exposed Cable. If the distance is less than 0.10” (2 mm) or the Cable Tensioning Dial locks out, then try replacing the standard Tendon Back Plate pad with the included thicker Tendon Back Plate pads. If you still can’t achieve the proper tension in the cable, then you need a smaller brace. If the distance is more than 1.00” (25 mm) then you need a larger brace.
Attach Velcro Straps #3 and #4 and re-adjust Cable Tensioning Dial, if necessary, so that the Cable is as tight as you can make it without being too uncomfortable. The tighter you make the Cable the better knee protection you will have.
To remove the brace first remove Velcro Straps #1, #3, and #4. Then, while holding back the Cable Release Button pull the Femoral Shell away from your thigh until the cable is completely extended and remove the brace.
