Components
17.1.
Gas Springs
The gas springs are under pressure and may only be adjusted by your LEVO
dealer!
The gas springs are specially adjusted to hold your weight in balance. There is a range
of spring strengths to suit the different user weights.
Caution:
do not bend or stretch the cables leading from the armrests to the gas
springs as this may activate the trigger of the stand-up mechanism (risk of accident)!
17.2.
Quick-release axles
The quick-release axles enable you to remove and re-mount the rear wheels of your
LEVO LAE
quickly, thus reducing significantly the volume and weight of the
wheelchair.
When removing a wheel, the wheelchair must be unoccupied. The wheelchair
should be supported in a way that it cannot tip over nor roll away after
removing the wheel.
Press the release button in the center of the wheel, then pull off or re-mount the
wheel.
Having mounted the wheel, push and pull it several times to ensure the quick-release
axle has fully engaged.
17.3.
Rear wheels
All
LEVO
stand-up wheelchairs are equipped with low
resistance pneumatic or airless tyres. Ask your local
dealer for suggestions concerning specific adjustments or
custom made tyres.
Please make sure to check the pneumatic tyre pressure
regularly.
The optimal pressure is 6.0-7.5 bar or 600-700 kPa.
