Rea® Bellis is a wheelchair with many adjustment options
and accessories. To ensure that you benet as much as
possible from Rea® Bellis, and in order to do its options
justice, the chair must be tested and adjusted by com-
petent personnel. We hope that you have also received
instructions for using your Rea Bellis in everyday life.
This manual includes a description of the parts of the
chair, simple adjustment options, how to use the Rea®
Bellis safely and how to transport it. The manual must be
read thoroughly before the chair is used.
Also included in this manual is a description of how all
accessories are tted and slightly more advanced settings.
As the Rea® Bellis has many different components and
accessories, the appearance of the accessories you have
for your chair may differ from those shown.
Check that all components match the delivery note. Any
transport damage must be reported immediately to the
transport company. Remember to keep the packaging until
the transport company has checked the goods and a sett-
lement has been reached.

The backrest is tted by angling it upwards out of
the seat and then inserting it into the attachment
as shown in the diagram.
Ensure that it “clicks” into the attachment
securely.
Assembly
2. Armrests
Fit the armrests by pushing the two tubes into the
holes on the armrest holder. The armrest is then
pushed down into the attachment (A).
3. Legrests/footrests
The wheelchair can be equipped with either
legrests or footrests.
3a Legrests
Attach the legrests by pushing the tube at the upper
part of the legrests down into the tubes on the
wheelchair. You must angle the legrests outwards
when inserting them.
!
Lock the legrests by turning them inwards. The
legrests are automatically locked so there is no
risk of them coming off the wheelchair.

4. Rear wheel
The rear wheel is tted by pressing button (B)
in the middle of the hub and keeping it pressed
in whilst inserting the axle into the rear wheel
attachment (C). It is important that the wheel is
tted into place correctly and that the lock catch
(D) really has locked the wheel securely.
It is very important that you check that
the locking pin has actually locked the
wheel into position when the centre
button has been released. Take hold of the
wheels and try to detach them. This should
NOT be possible.
!
3b Footrests
Attach the footrests by pushing the tube at the
upper part of the footrests down into the tubes
on the wheelchair. You must angle the footrests
outwards when inserting them.
Lock the footrests by turning them inwards. The
footrests are automatically locked so there is no
risk of them coming off the wheelchair.

with a 5-mm Allen key and adjust the seat depth to
the desired position. Then retighten the screws.

and move the side supports to the desired posi-

FOOTRESTS/LEGRESTS
1. Angle-adjustable footplates
Adjust the angle and the depth by loosening the
screw (A) at the footplate attachment with a 5
mm Allen key. Adjust the footplate to the correct
position and retighten the screw.
Do not place anything on the footplate
when the screw is loose.
Other pin positions can be used if there is a
risk that the user could injure themselves, just
adjust the footplate to a more suitable posi-
tion,
2. Calf pads
The calf pads can be tted in four different depth
positions. Swing the pad forwards. Unscrew screw
(B) using an Allen key. Remove the large nut (C) on
the reverse side and place it in the other attach-
ment hole. Move the calf pad to the new position
and secure it into place with the screw.
The height of the calf pads can easily be adjusted
using the handwheel (D).
It is important to adjust the legrests, footrests and calf pads to obtain a good seating position.
1. Legrests height adjustment
Adjust the height of the legrests by loosening the
screw (A) one turn with an Allen key. Pull the leg-
rest until you have obtained the correct height
and the screw is caught by one of the recesses on
the legrest tube. Then retighten screw.
2. Legrests angle adjustment
The angle of the legrest is adjusted using the
handwheel (B).
Loosen the handwheel approx. one turn. The angle
can be set in intervals from 80° to 0°. Retighten the
handwheel when the correct angle is obtained.
The distance between the lowest part of the foot-
rest and the surface must be at least 40 mm.
FOOTPLATES/CALF PADS
3. Footrests height adjustment
Adjust the height in the same way as the legrests
above.
NOTE! Don't touch the upper screw (C).
The distance between the lowest part of the foot-
rest and the surface must be at least 40 mm.
