Vr2 ConTrol box
VELA Blues 100 will normally be equipped with a Vr2 control box.
The powerchair is turned on and off with the I/0 button.
To operate a function, press the left button = electric seat lift. To
operate a function, push the joystick forwards (up) or backwards
(down).
The ‘speed up’ button increases operating speed: Press the button
repeatedly and you will see the indicator light move up.
The ‘speed down’ button reduces operating speed: Press the button
repeatedly and you will see the indicator light move down.
Two of the powerchair’s functions are controlled from the control box
(normally lift and tilt). Choose one of the functions by pressing the
function button, pushing the joystick forwards to move forwards or
backwards to move backwards. (It is possible to change between the
two functions by moving the joystick to the side). The control box has
a signal horn.
sTeering WiTh The JoysTiCK
Move the joystick in the direction you want the chair to move.
Acceleration and speed are controlled by moving the joystick:
Large movement = fast acceleration and high speed.
Small movement = slow acceleration and low speed.
It is not possible for the user to reprogram the control box.
Warning!
Do not subject the joystick and control box to vertical
pressure and do not push hard on the joystick as this can damage
parts in the box!

Cleaning
Wipe/wash the wheels as needed using mild soap and water. Wipe
the protective motor cover with a soft cloth. Do not use abrasive
sponges or brushes.
Clean the seat and back with a vacuum cleaner or a brush. The
fabric is a standard polyester type, which has been chosen for opti-
mum comfort. It is not recommended that the seat cover be washed
as it may shrink. Dry-cleaning recommended.
The control box can be cleaned with a damp cloth and a little
washing-up liquid if necessary. The armrests can be wiped off with
a damp cloth and warm soapy water if necessary.
