ENGLISH

Mounting includes modification of structural com-

ponents and electrical system. This should only be 

carried out according to the following instructions 

and performed by qualified personnel. If not familiar 

or comfortable with handling this, please contact 

your VELA supplier or technician. 
Prerequisites – tools needed: 4 mm Allen key, 5 mm 

Allen key, Philips screwdriver, 6 mm drill. 

Step 1 – Mechanical installation under the chair 

1.  Brake and lay down the chair on the rear side so 

you can access underneath the frame. 

2.  Drill two Ø6 holes in the indicated positions all 

the way through. 

3.  Mount the boom using the 5 mm Allen key to 

fix M6 screws from the top side. Note the cables 

and make sure they are not obstructed. 

4.  Raise the chair back up again and engage the 

wheels by pushing them to the floor. 

Step 2 – Electrical installation 

5.  Optional: increase the lift to maximum height 

adjustment to allow for better working space. 

6.  Remove the four covers by removing the six 

o-rings.  

7.  Disconnect the power on the front of the batte-

ries. 

8.  Connect the same wires to the piggyback con-

nectors on the drive system. Connect positive 

to positive and negative to negative. Note the 

correct sleeving of the cables around the seat 

mechanism. 

9.  Connect the piggyback connectors to the batte-

ries. Positive to positive, negative to negative. 

10.  Use one of the tie wraps to fix the power wire to 

the back of the seat mechanism together with 

the controller wire. 

11.  Install the top covers and three o-rings again.  Do 

not install the bottom two covers yet.

 

Step 3 – Height limitation installation 

12.  Optional: increase the lift to maximum height 

adjustment to allow for better working space. 

13.  Mount the magnets and metal plate on the right-

hand cover as shown. The component will fit 

together nicely when orientated correctly.  

14.  Screw the two plastic brackets on the top of the 

column outer tube as shown: 

15.  Assemble the connectors between the height 

limit sensor and drive controller. 

16.  Reinstall the last two covers again using three 

o-rings.  

Step 4 – Joystick installation 

17.  Unscrew the armrest at the height adjustment. 

The joystick can be mounted on either the right 

or the left side of the chair. Note it can also be 

mounted on the inside of the armrest. 

18.  Unscrew the armrest cushion by removing the 

two screws using a 4 mm Allen key. 

19.  Sandwich the joystick under the armrest cushion 

and armrest bracket. Note that the joystick can 

be mount in two different ways depending on 

user preference. Recommendation is as shown 

to give better space to the user and the fold-

away option. 

20.  Screw in the two screws again using the same 

tools. 

21.  Fasten the armrest to the chair again 
22.  Adjust the joystick controller in the desired depth 

using a 4 mm Allen key. 

23.  Connect the joystick controller to the wire which 

was fastened previously to the back of the seat 

mechanism. 

24.  As a last step, fix the cables with tie wraps the 

indicated positions: 

Step 5 – Finishing tests 
25.  Turn on the drive system. 
26.  When the lift is at maximum position, the display 

should read “C1” and not able to drive. 

27.  When the lift is gradually lowered, the “C1” 

message will disappear, and the chair is ready to 

drive. 

28.  Test that the direction of the joystick move-

ments matches the direction of the intended 

chair movement. 

29.  Turn of the drive system again. 
30.  Your product is now ready for use.
