introdUction
Your new VELA Blues 200 powerchair is designed to make your life easier. We have devel-
oped an extremely compact powerchair for indoor use. With the drive wheels placed in the
middle, it requires very little space. VELA Blues 200 is designed for simple and logical
operation.
When you move about indoors, you will appreciate being able to raise the seat to reach
across a table or take something down from a shelf. The seat lift is operated from the
powerchair’s control box or – depending on the individual construction of the chair – from
a separate tilt switch. The mid-wheel drive permits operation in very narrow spaces. After
some getting used to, it will quickly feel safe and natural. It can easily handle outdoor use,
as long as there is solid ground under the wheels.
We hope that your will be happy with your VELA Blues 200. By taking a few minutes to
read this manual, you will quickly gain an overview of the construction and possibilities
offered by the VELA Blues 200. Please keep this manual for future reference.
Enjoy your VELA Blues 200.
