3Introduction
Thank you to choose the LEVO combi.
The LEVO combi has been designed as a powered stand-up wheelchair for indoor and
outdoor use. As such it belongs to the wheelchair category B.
The LEVO combi makes it possible to stand-up and to drive in a standing as well as in a
sitting position; all these functions are powered. (As an option there are more functions
beside sitting and standing available.) The mentioned functions provide to the users
great independence.
The LEVO combi is made for everyone whose muscles do not support them to propel a
wheelchair manually. The LEVO combi is a unique aid for those facing difficulties in
standing and walking.
The LEVO combi has been designed for older children and adults who will benefit from
motorized mobility and the ability to stand up at will.
All functions are powered and it is easy to change position by using a joystick. The
standard model of the LEVO combi allows comfortable sitting and standing on every
stage between the sitting and the complete standing position. Driving is possible in all
stages.
As an option the LEVO combi model includes a powered seat lift and/or a reclining
back. The seat tilt function comes with the seat lift in a wide range of angles and
correlating to the seat height, respectively the space between the battery cover and the
seat plate in a limited range. Seat tilt in combination with the backrest reclining
function allows the user to be in a most comfortable position called “relax”, which
means the seat plate is tilted at its end, the backrest is reclined and the feet rest is
raised.
As further option “lying to standing directly” can be chosen.
The wheelchair has two drive wheels in the middle, two castors at the front and one
security back wheel. This construction allows easy steering. The LEVO combi is
constructed with a mid wheel drive for the smallest turning circle. The turning radius is
57,5 cm or 22,6 inches.
For easier transportation it is possible to detach the back. The armrests lift up for easy
sideways transfer.
The seat and backrest are fully adjustable to meet the needs of a wide range of users.
The maximum load weight is 120 kilograms or 265 pounds; this includes all personal
belongings carried along too.
The LEVO combi is labeled with a CE-sign. This product corresponds to the regulations
notified as 93/42 EWG.
Several technical features of the LEVO combi are protected by patents. LEVO AG
processes the US-Patent No. 5’964’473 and patents pending in other countries.
