Lifting the wheelchair
•
For your own safety never lift the wheelchair alone when your child is sitting in the LEVO.
•
Only lift it up alone when nobody is sitting in the wheelchair. If possible, take off all the
detachable parts from the wheelchair to reduce its weight.
You can take your stand-up
wheelchair with you when
you go somewhere by car.
To remove the castors together with the front forks, depress the
quick-release axle from underneath, then pull off the forks
(photo 36).
Caution: Certain movements involved in folding down the
wheelchair are, by their nature, potentially harmful. Please take
care not to trap any clothing or parts of the body in the joints of
the wheelchair as you are folding down the wheelchair. Your
child should only resume his seat in the wheelchair once it has
been fully unfolded and reassembled with all detachable
components (e.g. rear wheels and castors) once again securely
fixed in place. Always make sure beyond any doubt that the rear
wheels have been securely reattached, and cannot work loose
while the wheelchair is moving (see diagram 37).
