1.6.1. STABILITY OG BALANCE
The VELA Tango is designed as an everyday chair at home. It is intended for
sedentary work and not as a wheelchair. All movement in the VELA Tango have an
impact on the placement of the centre of gravity.
To increase the safety, we recommend:
• Maximum user weight is 125kg; however the activity level is a significant factor.
A person with very forceful movements using the chair should contact a sales
consultant from VELA/VELA Distributor before purchase
• Do not stand on the chair
• Do not stand on the footring. It is only intended for getting on and off
• The chair is not intended as a wheelchair
• During transportation, the chair should always be locked
1.6.2. RECYCLING
Some of the chair’s material can be recycled. Deliver the chair to VELA’s distributor
or your local recycling installation.
1.5.5. Folding foot ring - Accessory

pushing the ring with your foot.

adjustment should be pulled through the protective cap (3) as shown!
Note: The backrest arm must be pushed through completely so the pin
