7. Important Safety Information before use
The stand-up wheelchair LEVO active-easy LAE allows manual driving with a self-
actuated, manual stand-up mechanism. The stand-up actuator is operated by the user
pushing down on 2 ratcheting hand bars. The seat moves to any position between
completely seated, as with any ordinary wheelchair, and standing up to 86°.
Moving to a standing position may load the body in a way that the body is perhaps not
used to. Therefore, before using a stand-up wheelchair, consult your doctor or
physical therapist to make sure that no contraindications such as strong contractures
or osteoporosis are present. Without a prescription by your doctor or physical
therapist, there are risks of injury. All user and medical instructions must be strictly
followed.
In the case of strong or sudden spasms, cramps or similar, the user should stand
under the supervision of an accompanying person.
Regarding visual and cognitive skills, the physician, therapist or dealer must decide
whether the LEVO LAE is suitable for the user in terms of physical condition, personal
safety and on the intended environment and use.
Please take care to avoid trapping yourself or other persons in the mechanism during
elevation or descent. Especially take care of the sections between the seat and the
mainframe to avoid any kind of injury.
The
LEVO LAE must be driven to level and solid ground before elevating the user to a
standing position (Caution: risk of tipping over!).
The brakes of the
LEVO LAE must be activated before elevating to a standing position
(Caution: risk of tipping over!).
The standing function should not be operated without a person seated in the
LEVO
LAE (risk of accident!).
It is absolutely essential to mount the knee support and the chest strap correctly
before you use the stand-up function! You should never go into standing without
these safety restraints securely in place (risk of accident)!
The restraints must be worn over clothing to prevent any skin irritations.
The
LEVO LAE should not be lifted by the armrests. The armrests are designed for
high, downward load, but not for upward, tensile loading.
Driving the wheelchair must always be in the completely seated position so that the
load can be distributed to the frame. Otherwise there are risks of damage to the
seating system.
Please avoid any abnormal and unforeseen loads like torques or shear forces.
Additional load at the armrests or backrest, fixing for transport without the dedicated
equipment etc. should be strictly avoided! The wheelchair could be damaged causing
injury to the user or other persons.
For amendments and adjustments to the mechanism and for maintenance work,
please contact your dealer.
For safety reasons, adjustments to the stand-up mechanism and
functionally-related parts must only be performed by trained personnel.
