Built-in electro-mechanical holding brake. 7.0.3. BATTERIES 2 x 12V 33Ah gel maintenance-free wheelchair batteries. Charging time approx. 8 hours with the battery charger. 7.0.4.
6.0.2. PASSENGER SEAT (OPTIONAL) VELA Blues 300 can be configured for use as the passenger seat of a car. The chair must be constructed as below, and the work must be carried out by a VELA technician or suitably trained personnel.
5.0. WARRANTY AND SERVICE VELA refers to the Danish Sale of Goods Act with regard to warranty. The warranty applies only if original spare parts and accessories are used, and always provided that adjustments are carried out by authorised service technicians.
2.0. SAFETY POINTS.............................................................................................................. 17 PART MAINTENANCE RRIED OUT BY MAINTENANCE INTERVAL Check that the tyres are not worn and that stones or other objects are not sitting in the tread. If the wheels are pneumatic, check the air pressure, which must be between 2.20-3.5 Kilo Pascal. The wheel can be inflated with either a car pump or at a service station. Once a month, depending on use 3.0 MAINTENANCE 3.0.1.
4.0. MAINTENANCE AND TROUBLESHOOTING 4.0.1. MAINTENANCE The wheels are wiped/washed when needed with mild soapy water. The motor shield is wiped with a soft cloth. Do not use an abrasive or rough sponge or brush. The seat and back rest are cleaned by vaccuuming or with a brush. The cover is normally a polyester product for your comfort and dry cleaning is recommended. Washing the cover is not recommended due to shrinkage. The control box is cleaned with a damp cloth.
1.0. USER MANUAL The initial driving attempts should be conducted in a place with free floorspace. Select a low driving speed (press the “down” button a few times) until you have become used to the wheelchair. 1.
3.0. MAINTENANCE 3.0.1. BATTERIES VELA Blues 300 is supplied with 2 x 33 Ah maintenance-free gas-proof batteries. The capacity for new batteries corresponds to 22 km driving. In terms of experience, this covers the majority of users’ daily needs. The batteries are dimensioned for 220 full discharges. Their lifetime will be markedly extended if only a small part of the capacity is discharged before recharging. Defective batteries must be replaced with a corresponding type.
1.2. SITTING POSITION 2.0 SAFETY POINTS The correct sitting position can be achieved when the back rest is placed so that there is approx. 3-finger width of space between the front edge of the seat and the back of the knees. The back rest can be moved backwards and forwards (with the use of tools) over the seat to adjust the seat depth (see 1.3.3.
1.5. PLACEMENT OF THE CONTROL BOX 1.5.1. PARALLEL FITTINGS The control box is mounted on either the right or the left side according to customer specifications. The VELA Blues 300 is delivered with parallel fittings as standard, making it possible to slide the control box along the armrest so that the chair can e.g. come all the way up to a table. Be careful with your fingers when sliding the control box back/forward using the parallel fitting. 1.6.
1.2.5. SEAT DEPTH The seat depth can be adjusted by shifting the back rest backwards or forwards in the two C-tracks: Loosen the two screws on both sides from the back rest hinge and release the sliding lever for the back angle. 1.4. FOOT SUPPORTS 1.4.1. HINGED FOOTPLATES VELA Blues 300 is fitted with two solid footplates. The footplate is fixed on the under carriage and can be flipped up when it is not used. After this, the back rest can be shifted forwards or backwards.
1.3.8.1. FRICTION COUPLING Should it be necessary to tow the wheelchair, the electro-brake and motor are disengaged by operating the two actuating handles on the motor shield. Seat angling Note: It is not possible to drive the electric wheelchair when the friction coupling is operated. Turn both coupling handles back so they are positioned along the length of the wheelchair immediately after concluded towing. 1.3.9.
1.3.3. STEERING WITH THE JOYSTICK Steering is done by moving the joystick in the direction you wish to drive. Acceleration and speed is checked by the fluctuation of the joystick: Large fluctuation = powerful acceleration and high speed. Small fluctuation = weak acceleration and low speed. It is not possible for the user to re-program the control box.
