  VELA Blues 1100 is intended for limited outdoor operation. Driving should take place on level 

and solid surfaces in places one is well familiar with.

  VELA Blues 1100 is as standard not approved as a passenger seat during car, bus or train

 transportation.

•  

The chair is not designed to be lifted during transport.

  Always make sure that the wheelchair is responsibly secure in approved lashing equipment 

 during transportation in car, bus, train or similar.

  Never stand on the footplates whilst getting on and off since this will make the wheelchair tip 

over.

  Always lower the electric lift to the lowest position before accelerating over difference in levels 

and before driving at high speed.

  Always lower the electric lift to the lowest position before driving on slanting surfaces.

  Never drive sideways on slanting surfaces as the inclination could cause the chair to overturn.

  The power chair may not be exposed to rain or heavy moisture, as water will damage the electron-

ics.

  Never cover the battery charger during charging as it develops heat. The battery charger must be 

placed on a solid surface with air circulation.

  When driving backwards as well as when operating electric functions, it must be ensured that 

this can be done without danger to other persons.

•   The 

power chair can be configured for use as a passenger seat during transport, but only as a 

specially configured version (see item 6 re. transport)
