Avoid driving through puddles with the
LEVO
C
3
. The wheelchair and
especially electrical components are very sensitive to too much water, some
splashes of water don't harm. (There is a danger of false function regarding
some electrical parts getting too wet.)
The
LEVO
C
3
is designed for outdoor and indoor use.
-Whenever you are driving, use the knee support and the chest belt.
-
LEVO
does not recommend driving the
LEVO
C
3
on uneven, soft or steeply
sloping ground.
-Using the
LEVO
C
3
outdoors, switch on the lights at dawn and dusk and in the
dark of course.
Don’t let children drive with the wheelchair without supervision.
The wheelchair is not designated to take along passengers, independently
from the age of the driver.
Look further ahead while driving, so that you have sufficient time to react to
obstacles and avoid accidents in your way.
Pay attention to pedestrians, children, dogs etc. close to and especially in
front of you, since they can stop suddenly or change the direction.
Never switch off the joystick module during driving. Otherwise the wheelchair
will stop abrupt, so that you run the risk, to be thrown forward from the
wheelchair. Just release the joystick to stop the wheelchair from moving.
Consider the road permission regulations; these are different from country to
country. It is usually prescribed by law, which kind of streets can be used for
your purposes. Inquire in this regards at your road traffic licensing
Avoid steep edges, hillside situations or stairs if you push the chair manually
(brake release lever in lower position), because there is a risk to lose the
control over the wheelchair because of its weight and measurements. There is
even the risk that the user can fall out of the wheelchair. To overcome an
obstacle we recommend, using a ramp or an elevator.
Be aware of, that your wheelchair can produce electromagnetic emissions and
disturb other devices
The necessary force to push the
LEVO
C
3
manually is higher than you are
used to with other powered wheelchairs. Depending on the floor surface and
the constitution of the person which is pushing the wheelchair, it can be
helpful to have a second person around, to help pushing the wheelchair if
necessary.
If unintended movement or brake release occurs, turn the wheelchair OFF as
soon as it is safe.
