Extension Stop Instructions
- At the time of fabrication, a zero degree extension stop has been installed in the TM5+ Hinge. To install a different extension stop, follow these instructions
- Twist off the desired stop from the nylon stop tree
- Remove the screw located on the side of the hinge
- After removing the screw, flex the brace and remove the zero degree stop from the hinge. Note the direction the stop is facing
- Insert the desired replacement stop, hole end first, with the hook end at the top and facing forward. Straighten the brace to full extension to push the stop down into position. The small hole in the stop must be aligned and visible through the screw hole so the screw will thread into the stop
- Reinsert and tighten the screw. Flex and extend the brace several times to ensure the stop is locked into position and functioning properly
