8. Adjustments
8.1. The backrest and seat upholstery
The surface flexibility of the backrest upholstery can be adjusted using the velcro fasteners. The
backrest can be tightened (for a more upright seated posture) or relaxed (for more back support).
The seat upholstery can be similarly tightened or relaxed by use of velcro fasteners. As a rule it
should be as taut as possible. Depending on the height of the cushioning in question, it may be
necessary to loosen upholstery surface tension to be able to sink the cushioning down between the
two seat supports.
The chest trap is fixed to the backrest upholstery by use of velcro fasteners. It can therefor be
adjusted in height.
8.2.
Rear wheel position
The axle adapter mounted as standard on your
LEVO
active-easy
depends on the seat depth.
•
Seat depth S: axle adapter S mounted.
•
Seat depth M: axle adapter M mounted.
•
Seat depth L: axle adapter L mounted in forward direction.
•
Seat depth XL: axle adapter L mounted in rearward direction.
See also illustration 1.
•
Seat height 48 cm (22” wheels) and 51 cm (24” wheels): axle
adapter mounted at 45 mm from lower end of frame tube. Seat
height 54 cm (24” wheels): 20 mm, seat height 57 cm (26”
wheels): 30 mm.
To adjust the seat inclination the axle adapter is adjusted in height:
•
Unscrew both inside hexagonal screws (A) using a 10 mm
spanner and tighten the threaded pin (B) using a 3 mm Allen key
(see photo 2). The latter opens up the clamps on the axle
adapter.
•
Adjust the axle adapter to the desired height, unscrew the
threaded pin and tighten the two inner hexagonal screws again.
Caution:
When adjusting the height of the axle adapter, be sure to adjust the castor height and
angle accordingly (see section 8.3.). In case of large scale adjustments it may even be necessary to
replace the leg supports.
Having made the adjustments, it is absolutely vital to ensure that, when standing up, the leg
supports still rest on the ground as this is crucial to standing ability (risk of accident!)!
