Seating adjustments
All LEVO wheelchairs are custom made and come fully assembled. Minor
adjustments concerning the axles and the seat support may only be
conducted by your local specialist dealer. The same applies to other general
adjustments as for example the tilt angle of the chair.
Any sort of alterations on the wheelchair as well as disregarding the weight
limits are strictly prohibited. Incorrect adjustments can lead to major
injuries. Contact your LEVO dealer regarding any adjustment.
8.1.
Seat inclination
The standard pre-set angle of inclination is approx. 5° to the rear. By altering the
height of the axle holder it is possible to re-set the backrest angle between 0° and 8°
to the rear. To ensure these alterations do not compromise safety in the standing
position, the front wheel forks must be adjusted appropriately. These adjustments
should only be carried out
in consultation with your
LEVO
dealer!
8.2.
Position of the rear wheels
By re-setting the axle holder either further forwards or further backwards, you are
able to increase or decrease your
LEVO
tendency to tip over. To avoid accidents
(tipping over) we recommend the fitting of anti-tip wheels. Please consult your
LEVO
dealer!

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!
