1. General Information for Stand-up Wheelchairs
Dear LEVO Customer
We would like to thank you for putting your trust in LEVO AG.
As well as performing all the functions of a sitting wheelchair, the LEVO enables
you to stand up on your own. LEVO manufactures only wheelchairs with stand-
up option.
Please read this manual carefully before using your LEVO. It contains important
information necessary for the successful operation of your wheelchair.
It is possible that achieving the standing position may load the body in a way
that it is perhaps not used to. Therefore, it is necessary to consult with your
doctor or physical therapist to confirm that there are no
contraindications such as contractures, orthostatic hypotension,
osteoporosis or other conditions present.
In the case of strong or sudden spasms, cramps or similar conditions, it
is necessary that the user is allowed to stand only under the supervision
of an accompanying attendant or caregiver.
As a LEVO customer, you have the opportunity to make a valuable contribution
with the on-going future development of our products. Your suggestions are
always appreciated. This will insure that LEVO continues to offer the most
functional products available and provides for the widest possible range of needs.
Yours faithfully,
LEVO AG EU SRN: CH-MF-000008751
