Standing up stresses your body in ways you may not be used to. Therefore we
recommend, consulting your doctor or physical therapist before using the
standing function of the
LEVO
C
3
.
It is not recommended to drive long distances in the standing position in
outdoor areas. This function is meant for moving around standing indoors, as
in the kitchen or in the office for examples.
The
LEVO
C
3
is only allowed to bring you into the stand-up position when the
free wheel device is "ON", this guarantees the motor brakes function correctly.
Do not stand-up while the chair is in “free wheel” configuration!
You should only bring the
LEVO
C
3
into standing position, if the chair is on
even, solid ground. If this condition is not ensured, the danger of tilting exists.
It’s absolutely essential to mount the knee support and the chest belt correct
before you use the stand-up function or you are driving (see chapter 5.).
You should under no circumstances attempt to stand up without
following all safety precautions.
Do not lift the wheelchair at mobile parts. This can lead to damages to
property or person and/or damages at the wheelchair.
The chest belt is exclusively intended to hold the torso of the user while
driving and the stand-up function. It is not used to be a protection device at
collisions and/or accidents.
We recommend to stand-up only when in company in case of sudden
spasticity, convulsions and similar problems.
