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.

4. Introduction
Thank you for choosing the LEVO LCM2.
The LEVO LCM2 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 LCM2 makes it possible to stand-up and to drive in a standing, as well as
in a sitting, position. This function provides great independence to the user.
This wheelchair is made for everyone whose muscles do not allow them to propel a
wheelchair manually. The LEVO LCM2 is a unique aid for those facing difficulties in
standing and walking.
The LEVO LCM2 has been designed for older children and adults who will benefit from
motorised mobility and the ability to stand up at will.
The standard model of the LEVO LCM2 allows comfortable sitting and standing on
every stage between the sitting and the complete standing position. Driving is
possible in all positions.
The LEVO LCM2 is a combination between a rear-wheel, electrically-driven wheelchair
and electrical standing wheelchair with a weight of max. 100kg based on an attractive
price. The position of the drive and directional wheels offers a great maneuverability
and facilitates turning from the rear-wheel drive. The omnidirectional front wheels at
the legrest ensure maximum stability and safe mobility in the standing position.
The seat depth, the armrests and the knee support are stage-less adjustable, this
gives an ideal possibility to adjust the chair to the customers’ needs.
The LEVO LCM2 rated for a maximum load 125 kilograms (277 lb) including personal
belongings and any supplementary equipment.
Read the safety instructions first, to acquaint yourself with the risks and
dangers that can occur by the use of the wheelchair.
The LEVO LCM2 is labeled with the mark. This product corresponds to Regulation
(EU) 2017/745 of the European Union.
All information, images, pictures and specifications were made on the base of the
product information we had at the point in time when we printed the manual. The
images and pictures are type examples they don’t claim to be exact reproductions of
the various parts of the wheelchair.
We reserve the right to make changes to the product as necessary without previously
notifying clients.

5. Safety instructions
5.1. General safety instructions
Be aware that the surface temperatures can increase when exposed to external
sources of heat (e.g. sunlight).
The resistance to ignition of materials and assemblies are as follows:
- Plastic parts according to UL 94-V0
- Upholstered parts according to EN 1021-1, EN 1021-2 or ISO 7176-16
Before using the LEVO LCM2, have your LEVO dealer explain the instructions
to you. It also helps if you have a friend to listen as well. Study the instruction
manual yourself or if you cannot understand it, get a friend to help you to do
so. Do not hesitate to ask for any explanation
LEVO AG is not responsible for damages to persons or property, who
resulted from the fact that the user or another person ignored the
recommendations, warnings and instructions specified in this manual.
For your own security we recommend you carefully read and follow all
the instructions in this manual.
On the LEVO LCM2 you find the following symbols attached:

5.2. Operation
5.3. Driving
Avoid driving through puddles with the LEVO LCM2. The wheelchair and
especially the electrical components are sensitive to water. Although
splashproof, there is a danger of malfunction when wet.
The LEVO LCM2 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 LCM2 on uneven, soft or
steeply sloping ground.
-Using the LEVO LCM2 outdoors, purchase the light kit and switch on the
lights at dawn and dusk and in poor light.
dark of course.
Do not let children drive the wheelchair without supervision.
The wheelchair is not designed to carry passengers independent of age.
Look ahead while driving, so that you have sufficient time to react to obstacles
and avoid accidents in your path.
Pay attention to pedestrians, children, dogs etc. close to and especially in
front of you as they can stop suddenly or change the direction.
Never switch off the joystick module when driving. Otherwise the wheelchair
will stop abruptly running the risk that you are thrown forward from the
wheelchair. Simply release the joystick to stop the wheelchair from moving.
Consider the national road regulations; these are different from country to
country. It is usually prescribed by law which kind of streets can be used for
which kind of vehicle. Inquire at your road traffic licensing department.
Avoid steep edges, hillsides or stairs if you push the chair manually (brake
release lever in lower position) as there is a risk of losing control due to the
weight and size of the wheelchair. There is also the risk that you can fall from
the wheelchair. To overcome an obstacle we recommend the use of 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 LCM2 manually may be more than
expected. Depending on the ground surface and strength of the person
pushing the wheelchair, it can be useful to have a second person on call to
help as necessary.
If unintended movement or brake release occurs, turn the wheelchair OFF as
soon as it is safe.

13
5.4. Stand-up function
5.5. Safety belt system
5.6. Transportation
Standing up stresses your body in ways you may not be used to. Therefore we
recommend that you consult your doctor or physical therapist before
attempting to use the standing function of the LEVO LCM2. The chair should
be fitted by a specialist.
Driving long distances in the standing position is not recommended. The
function is meant primary for moving around a local area such as in a kitchen,
an office, a shop or an attraction area.
The LEVO LCM2 should only be used in the stand-up position when the free
wheel device on the motors is switched to brake "ON" and the motor brakes
are engaged. Do not stand-up while the chair is in “free wheel” configuration!
You should only bring the LEVO LCM2 into standing position if the chair is on
even, solid ground. If this condition is not respected, there is a danger of
tipping over.
It is absolutely essential to mount the knee support and the chest belt
correctly before you use the stand-up function or begin driving (see chapter
10).
You should under no circumstances attempt to stand up without
following all safety precautions.
Do not lift the wheelchair using the mobile parts. This can lead to damage to
property or persons and/or damage to the wheelchair.
The chest belt is exclusively intended to hold the torso of the user while
driving and standing. It is not intended as a protective device for collisions
and/or accidents.
We recommend standing up only when accompanied in case of sudden
spasticity, convulsions and similar problems.

14
5.7. Servicing and maintenance
The expected life of your LEVO LCM2 is approximately 7 years under normal use
and depending on the frequency of service and maintenance. Excluded from this life
are the electronic components (especially batteries) and parts such as wheels, seat,
back, knee and arm pads.
Please avoid exposing the wheelchair to extreme heat. Please note as well that if
exposed to high humidity or salt the wheelchair should be dried frequently.
The LEVO LCM2 is a sophisticated piece of machinery. Do not attempt to
maintain it yourself. For all maintenance work, please contact an authorized
dealer. Your authorized dealer should be allowed to service the wheelchair
once every year.
You should only use original LEVO spare parts for any repairs or changes. If
you use other parts, the function and the security of the wheelchair can be
influenced. Your safety is not guaranteed and the wheelchair is no longer
covered under warranty.
Programming should only be conducted by healthcare professionals with in-
depth knowledge of PG Drives electronic control systems. Incorrect
programming could result in an unsafe set-up of a wheelchair for the user.
LEVO accepts no liability for losses of any kind if the drive or stability
characteristics of the wheelchair are altered without prior notification and
discussion with LEVO.
All inappropriate changes of the wheelchair and its different systems can lead
to an increased risk of accident.
All changes and interventions have to be made by an authorized dealer, if
you’re unsecure about any issue, please ask your dealer first.

7. Control unit
7.1. VR2-control
7.1.1. On-/ Off-button
7.1.2. Battery gauge
On the control unit you find a joystick,
buttons and symbols. We take a
closer look at these in the following
sections.
With the On-/ Off-button the chair
can be turned on or switched off.
Don’t use this button to stop the
wheelchair, unless there is an
emergency.
The battery gauge shows you that
the wheelchair is switched on and it
shows you how much power there is
left in the batteries. The gauge is also
used for electronic fault detection
(see chapter 18.)

18
7.1.3. Joystick
7.1.4. Speed
Joystick
The joystick controls the direction
and speed of the wheelchair.
To drive forwards push the joystick
forwards. The further you push it
from the centre the faster the
wheelchair will move. Let go of the
joystick and the wheelchair will stop
and the brakes come on.
For backwards driving push the
joystick backwards. Pushing the
joystick to the right results in
movement to the right. Pushing the
joystick to the left will move the chair
to the left.
The joystick is also used to choose
and to move the seat actuators (see
chapter 7.1.5.).
Speed gauge
This is a gauge that shows the
maximum speed setting for the
wheelchair. This gauge also indicates
if the speed of the wheelchair is
being limited or if the control system
is locked.
If one LED is illuminated, you will
move at the slowest speed. 5
illuminated LED’s mean that you will
drive with the highest programmed
speed.
If the LED’s are flashing, it means
the speed is reduced. This happens
when you go into standing position.
If the LED’s ripple up and down, it
means the chair is locked.

19
Standard chair without light kit:
By pressing the left actuator-button,
you can activate the stand-up
function. If you move the joystick
forward, the chair will raise upwards,
if you move the joystick backwards,
the chair will move downwards.
Chair with light kit:
If your chair is equipped with the
light kit, you have one button to
choose the actuators. To activate the
stand-up function, press the actuator-
button, move the joystick to the left,
