3.5.1 ADJUSTING BRAKE PRESSURE ON CASTORS

(Does not apply to VELA Samba and VELA Latin)

The brake function works by clamping the wheel 
thread, so it may be necessary to adjust the brake 
pressure on a worn castor as follows: 
•  Remove the castor (see mounting instructions 

on 

www.vela.eu

).

•  Tighten the inner plastic part of the castor a half 

or a full turn with a shifting spanner (see image 
below)

•  Remount the castor.

 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 

3.5.2 INTERVAL ADJUSTMENT

(Does not apply to VELA Samba, VELA Latin and VELA 
Tango 300/310)

As part of the customisation, VELA/VELA Medical 
chairs can be adjusted in height beyond the 
range of the gas spring and actuator. This may be 
necessary if the user of the chair grows taller, or 
if the chair is to be reused by another user. In this 
way, the seat height of the chair may be increased 
or decreased further.
Interval adjustment instructions for each chair 
model (including illustrations and procedure) are 
available on our website: 

www.vela.eu

3.5.3 ADJUSTING ARMREST AND OTHER 
FUNCTIONS

Several of the chair adjustment options are made 
with hand screws so the user can set the function 
without using tools. 

If the user is unable to perform such adjustments, 
the hand screws can be replaced with screws and 
nuts with common metric threads. However, be 
sure to use the right sizes and lengths.

3.5.4 ADJUSTING CLUTCH PLATES 

(Does not apply to VELA Samba, VELA Latin and VELA 
Tango 300/310)

The seat and back angles are generally adjusted 
by clutch plates, which consist of a stack of thin 
plates that fix the angle by means of friction. A 
spring presses on to the plates and creates friction. 
This spring can be tightened if any issues are 
encountered with the seat or back angles, even 
when the release lever is not activated.

To tighten the clutch plate, tighten the nut as 
shown in the figure below. Note: if the nut is 
tightened too much, the angle can no longer be 
adjusted by activating the release lever. In this case, 
loosen the nut a little.

The nut may be hidden behind a plug which can 
be removed by hand or with gentle use of a flat-
headed screwdriver.
