5. Preparing the wheelchair for use and operation
5.1. Dispatch and transport
For delivery LEVO wheelchairs are packed in a cardboard box. The back is
detached and carefully packed. Particularly delicate parts have extra protection
to avoid any damage that could be caused by transportation. All wheelchairs are
transported by lorry or air freight. To ensure no damage during transport the
main fuse is taken out.
Initial operation / Main fuse handling in case of
replacement, transportation and storage
Installation of the
main fuse
Fuse version since April 2011
Before shipping, the 70A
main fuse is taken out.
Before using the chair the
main fuse has to be
reinserted. You should
also do this when
travelling by air with your
wheelchair.
The main fuse housing is under the chair cover in
the rear. To get access, carefully open the cover as
shown above.
Open the fuse cover, insert the fuse which is delivered in a separate plastic bag
and snap the fuse cover back. Now the chair can be brought into standing
position to get access to the fuse cabling. Store the fuse cabling properly above
the batteries and the main fuse housing below the control system under the chair
cover.
Activating the main fuse
(Cut-out version until March 2011).
To activate the main fuse, push in the
cut-out button.
