    Any structural or technical changes on the chair are prohibited and will void all warranty or product liability claims. Please notify your dealer and LEVO of any warranty claim or possible issues with your chair. LEVO contact information can be found on the first page of this manual.

  • Page 11: Important Safety Information Before Use

    Especially take care of the sections between the seat and the mainframe to avoid any kind of injury. The LEVO LCEV must be driven to level and solid ground before elevating the user to a standing position (Caution: risk of tipping over!).
  • Page 12 Please note that all product safety information can be obtained on our website, from your dealer and in the user manuals which will be available at your retailer. In case of product recalls you will be informed by your retailer, as the LEVO products are sold exclusively through retailers.

  • Page 13: Seating Adjustments

    Contact your LEVO dealer regarding any adjustment. 8.1. Rear wheels The LEVO LCEV wheel chair is equipped with low rolling resistance tires. The seat height settings define the settings for the wheel diameter. The quick release axle enables the user to dismount and remount the rear wheels easily.

  • Page 14: Position Of The Front Wheels

    8.4. Position of the front wheels The correct positioning of the front castors depends on the height of the rear wheels and is crucial in ensuring a safe standing position. Please consult your LEVO dealer! 8.5. Backrest inclination The back is set as standard at a right angle to the seat surface. The backrest cannot be adjusted in angle.

  • Page 15: Footrest

    The footrest is set according to the details given in the original order form and can be adjusted within the limits of those settings. Contact your LEVO dealer regarding any adjustments. There is a choice of 5 different heights for mounting the footrest.
  • Page 16 There are three possible footrest angle variations: • Foot angle 100° • Foot angle 90° (Standard) • Foot angle 80° • Release the four screws at the out side of the footrest using a 4mm hex key and remove the upper ones. Set the footrest at the required angle and tighten the screws.

  • Page 17: The Calf/Heel Strap

    The height of the footrest should be adjusted to take into account the height of a given seat cushion. Please consult your LEVO dealer! 8.10. Backrest and Seat Upholstery The backrest upholstery can be adjusted using the Velcro fasteners.

  • Page 20: Safety Information For Standing

    Regarding visual and cognitive capability the physician, therapist or dealer must decide whether the LEVO LCEV can be used by the user depending on its environment and in terms of personal safety. There are many moving components on the chair that interact and change positions as the chair cycles from sit to stand.

  • Page 21: Brakes

    11. Brakes The brakes lock the rear wheels to secure the LEVO LCEV against unintended movement. By pushing both brake levers forwards you should be able to lock the brakes immediately. The efficiency of the brakes is dependent on tyre pressure and profile, which should be checked regularly.

  • Page 22: Knee Support And Chest Strap

    12. Knee support and chest strap The most important safety features are the knee support and the chest strap. It is essential to secure yourself every time you would like to change from sitting into standing position. Caution: Carry out each step carefully before moving yourself into the upright position to avoid injury.
  • Page 23 Note: You might need an assistant when adjusting the chest strap. It is difficult to adjust on your own. Once both the knee support and chest strap are fitted correctly you are ready to stand up.

  • Page 24: Standing Up

    13. Standing up Depending on the users condition the LEVO LCEV could be optional equipped with a remote control, which could be operated by an attendant if needed. The stand-up mechanism is powered by an electrical actuator system with further assistance provided by two gas springs.

  • Page 25: General Information On Use Of A Wheelchair

    15. General Information on Use of a Wheelchair 15.1. Driving the wheel chair: How to avoid tipping over Please note that when starting pushing the wheel chair, the front wheels are going to lose traction due to acceleration. Depending on weight distribution this may cause the wheels to lift off the ground and the wheel chair to tip over backwards.

  • Page 26: Gradients

    15.2. Gradients Bear in mind that, when turning around on a steep hill, you will pass through a crosswise position first before the turn is completed. Whilst in the crosswise position, there is a risk of slipping sideways down the hill. Both you and any assisting person should be aware of this risk and counter steer accordingly.

  • Page 27: Activating The Brakes

    To descend a major obstacle (e.g. to go down stairs), always use an assistant! The assistant should first tilt the wheelchair until the front wheels are off ground slightly, then move the chair forwards slowly. Should you have to be carried over certain obstacles, please make sure to request the assistance of at least two persons.

  • Page 28: Picking Up Objects

    15.5. Picking up objects Always remember that picking up objects will alter the centre of gravity which will affect the stability of the chair. This can cause the wheelchair to tip over, either backwards (see figure on the left), sideways or forwards. In the latter case, enlarge the wheelbase by positioning the front wheels in the same way they are positioned when driving backwards.

  • Page 29: Detachable Components

    Please note your wheelchair is designed to detach components to guarantee the lowest possible packing volume and weight. The detachable components are listed as follows: Detachable components LEVO LCEV LEVO LCEV Kid & Junior Weight reduction Weight reduction 2 main drive wheels 2x ca.
