Installation of Dahl VarioDock™ 

Installation must be carried out by a qualified and 

experienced technician/fitter. 

In the area where the wheelchair is to be locked into 

the docking system, the floor must be flat along the 

full length and width of the wheelchair. The length 

of the flat floor must be such that it is possible to 

manoeuvre the wheelchair into the docking system 

without problems. It is essential that there is no dif-

ference in the height of the floor from one side to the 

other at the location where the docking station is to 

be installed. It is also important that the lock plate is 

fitted straight/horizontally under the wheelchair. If the 

above is not carried out carefully, there is a risk that 

the wheelchair may not be manoeuvred properly into 

place in the docking station.

1. Delivery of VarioDock

TM

A.   VarioDock

TM

 is installed on a plate for transport 

when delivered to avoid damage during transport. 

Remove this plate and the 6 bolts before installing. 

See also instructions 5 and 6 on page 17.

2. Installing the lock plate

A.   Install the lock plate and 8 mm spacer under the 

wheelchair in accordance with the wheelchair man-

ufacturer’s instructions, which can be downloaded 

from our website, as well as instructions on the 

drawings on pages 5 and 14. Before the lock plate 

and spacer are installed, carry out the following:

B.   The installer must make sure that the wheelchair 

has a solid construction at the place where the 

lock plate shall be installed which can withstand 

the load during a collision. On our website http://

wtors.com you can see the list with all approved 

adaptation kits for wheelchairs and download 

manufacturers’ instructions for use and assembly, 

which must be followed when installing the lock 

plate and spacer.

C.   Be aware that bolts with art.no. # 502800 for secur-

ing the lock plate are custom made bolts, which 

are only available in one length. It is very important 

that the installer carefully adjusts the bolts to the 

correct length, which fits the individual wheel-

chair’s approved adaptation kit with spacers, if 

applicable. If the bolts are too short to fully engage 

into the entire thread depth, they will not be strong 

enough to withstand the load during a collision. If 

the bolts are too long, the batteries or other wheel-

chair components may be damaged. Therefore be 

careful when shortening the bolts. 

Warning! Never use bolts other than original Dahl 

bolts # 502800 for fixing the lock plate. Standard bolts 

are not strong enough to withstand a collision.

3. Measuring ground clearance 

A.   For correct determination of the wheelchair’s 

ground clearance, it must be measured with the 

user seated in the wheelchair (pay attention to 

correct tyre pressure). Carefully drive the wheel-

chair into the VarioDock

TM

 and set the height of 

VarioDock

TM

 so that there is 2 mm space between 

the underside of the lock plate and docking station.

B.   Read the ground clearance off the display and write 

it on the supplied sticker (see the design of the 

sticker on the right).

4. Location of VarioDock™

A.   Place the wheelchair, with the user sitting in it, 

facing forward in the vehicle at the desired installa-

tion location. If the user is the driver of the vehicle, 

make sure that the user can reach and operate all 

necessary instruments and driving functions in a 

proper and safe manner from this position.

B.  Place the docking station under the wheelchair.

C.   Mark the docking station’s position on the floor 

and the lock plate’s position (in width and length) 

under the wheelchair.

5. Beginning installation work

Ask the wheelchair user to leave the vehicle, so that 

installation work can begin.

A.   Drive the VarioDock

TM

 to the lowest position 

(61mm) before you begin installation work.

B.   Loosen the 4 bolts on the side of the VarioDock

TM

 

(important: note instructions on page 21!) and 

carefully remove the top section of the docking sta-

tion. See pictures 3 and 4 on page 17. (Please note 

that electronic components are installed in the top 

section!). Mark the location of the bolts on the floor 

of the vehicle, and drill holes through the floor 

at these locations. Be careful when marking and 

drilling through the vehicle floor to avoid damage 

to brake pipes, wires, fuel tank and the like. Never 

drill any holes until you are certain that the holes 

match the location of the installation components.

C.   Secure the docking station with the supplied bolts, 

nuts, etc. See illustrations pages 18 and 19.

Picture 7

 

When assembling the slide and bottom 

frames, the pin of the potentiometer must 

be carefully placed in the hole of the bottom 

frame, otherwise there is a risk of damaging 

the potentiometer. If the docking station is 

tightened when the pin is not inserted in the 

hole, the potentiometer will be destroyed/

damaged.
