The support of the joystick module can be swung away to the side and further pushed back.
This allows the wheelchair user to get closer to the table.
!
Push the release catch (A) to the side and backwards
simultaneously (see picture 11). Now move the joystick
module first to the side and then backwards.

As a further option the LEVO
combi
features a tilted armrest mechanism. (See picture 24 on
page 22). Armrests tilting while changing position from sitting to lying, provide most comfort
to the user, because his arms are horizontally well-positioned and they feel continuously
stable. This function is set on the program and, therefore, there is no action necessary. The
tilted armrest mechanism also function reversed, that means that the armrests raise, when the
chair is moved back from the lying or relaxing position to the sitting position or as well when
activating the function (optional) “lying to standing directly”. During both actions the
armrests move in such a way that the user’s arms are lying stable and comfortably on it.
Caution:
Do not use the joystick as a support. Please use the armrests to support you when
transferring to another chair or to the bed or back to the LEVO
combi.
Caution:
To prevent the risk of snapping off the joystick module, please be careful and avoid
hitting the joystick against any object.

Low shearing at the back
The LEVO
combi
is equipped with a new low shearing
mechanism (see picture 12) which eliminates the shearing
movements for most comfort as a user benefit in a sitting
as well as standing position. This shearing mechanism
counteracts to the shifting of the wheelchair's back
towards the upper body of the user. This shifting
movements were often considered as uncomfortable.
Thanks to the low shearing mechanism the LEVO
combi
feels like tailor made in each position. The most
comfortable stand-up motion is also realized by the fact
that the distance between the armrest and shoulders stays
constantly the same.

9 cm
The new unique low shearing mechanism is adjustable to the individual body measurements
using correlatively one of the three different positions to mount the connecting piece (A).
As a standard the connecting piece is fixed to middle drill hole; this means the medium
adjustment and the compensation of 9 cm / 3.5". Fixing the connecting piece on one of the
other holes the compensation will be of 8 cm / 3", respectively 10 cm / 4". Please read the
service instructions for more information about this subject. (Service instruction section 8.6.)
