Remove (6) Duckbill Valve (intake) by tapping (1) Valve Body Assembly against your hand or on a table, or by
straightening out a paperclip and inserting it into the other side of (5) Valve Body to push out (6) Duckbill Valve
(intake).
•
Clean the female threads in both sides of (5) Valve Body with a cotton swab and isopropyl alcohol or distilled water.
•
If you are reusing (2) Exhaust Filter, (7) Straight Barb, in-line filter, and (4) and (6) Duckbill Valves, clean them with
isopropyl alcohol or distilled water. Take extra care and make sure (4) and (6) Duckbill Valves are clean and free from
debris (a magnifier is helpful for inspection). Flush the in-line filter from both directions to ensure it is clean. Allow
valves to air-dry. DO NOT use a towel or cloth.
•
Once the parts are dry, or if you are using new parts from a rebuild kit, set all the parts out on a clean surface.
•
Insert (4) Duckbill Valve (exhaust) into the end of (3) Spacer so that (4) Duckbill Valve (exhaust) rim is flush against
the opening of (3) Spacer and the tip of (4) Duckbill Valve (exhaust) is inside (3) Spacer.
•
Slide (3) Spacer into the longer side of (5) Valve Body with (4) Duckbill Valve (exhaust) toward the inside. Thread (2)
Exhaust Filter into (5) Valve Body BY HAND until snug. Torque to 15 in-lbs. Do not over torque. Over torquing will
snap the threads and will not be covered under warranty.
NOTE: If you do not have a torque wrench, thread (2) Exhaust Filter until you feel a hard stop and then turn
revolution more.
•
Insert (6) Duckbill Valve (intake) into the short side of (5) Valve Body so the tip of (6) Duckbill Valve (intake) points
into (5) Valve Body. Using a small screwdriver or a straightened-out paperclip, make sure (6) Duckbill Valve (intake)
is seated all the way into the recess.
•
BY HAND, thread (7) Straight Barb into the short side of (5) Valve Body.
•
Once the (7) Straight Barb is threaded in snugly BY HAND, torque it to 15 in-lbf. This is a very low torque value, and
over torquing will snap the threads on the (7) Straight Barb and will not be covered under warranty.
NOTE: If you do not have a torque wrench, thread (7) Straight Barb until you feel a hard stop and then turn
revolution more.
•
Insert (1) Valve Body Assembly into the rubber module with (7) Straight Barb pointed to the medial side of the foot.
This allows the hose to be routed on the medial side of the pylon (to prevent damage to the tube or snagging while
walking).
•
Reattach the bent 90 degree tubing with the hose and inline filter. Reconnect the tubing to (7) Straight Barb.
•
Put the Spectra Sock and foot shell over the EVAQ8 foot.
•
Reattach the EVAQ8 foot to the user's pylon and socket.
•
Reattach the other end of the vacuum hose to the user's socket. The vacuum hose may be routed to the prosthetist's
preference.
