2.0. MOUNTING THE LASHING KIT
2.0.3. MOUNTING THE REAR SECURING FITTING, FOLDING
ARMREST
First, fit the block with 8 threaded holes into the C-rail
and firmly tighten the 2 x pinol screws (11 NM), one of
them into the threaded hole hidden behind the armrest
and the other at own option. Then mount the lashing
fitting to the two holes in the bottom of the armrest with
washers and two M8x20 skruer screws (30 NM).
2.0.1. MOUNTING THE LASHING FITTING, FRONT
First, fit the block with four threaded holes in C-rail and 2
x screws are firmly tightened (11 NM) into the two middle
threaded holes. Then mount the securing fitting with
washers and two M8x16 screws (30 NM).
Note that the hook label must face the rear.
2.0.2. MOUNTING THE TUBULAR LEG ON CRAILS
A tubular leg is fitted at both ends of the C-rail on both
sides. The tubular leg must cover the sharp edges of the
C-profile in the event of the seatbelt slipping this far back
on sudden application of the brakes. The opening in the
side of the tubular leg faces inwards towards the seat.
2.0.3.1. MOUNTING THE REAR SECURING FITTING,
FOLDING ARMREST VELA BLUES 210
First, fit the block with 8 threaded holes into the C-rail
and firmly tighten the 2 x pinol screws (11 NM), one of
them into the first threaded hole and one in the second.
The first hole is used to fit the backrest angulation in.
Then mount the lashing fitting to the two holes in the
bottom of the armrest with washers and two M8x20
skruer screws (30 NM).

Mounting the edge covering
Lift the top of the armrest and push the edge covering
down over the part attached to the chair and then repla-
ce the upper part. This is done on both sides. The purpo-
se of the edge covering is to prevent sharp edges cutting
through the seatbelt in the event of sudden braking or a
collision.
2.0.4. MOUNTING THE REAR LASHING FITTING, FIXED
ARMREST
First, fit the block with 8 threaded holes into the C-rail,
then firmly tighten 2 x pinol screws (11 NM), one in the
threaded hole behind the armrest and the other at own
option. Then mount the seat back hinge with washers
and two M8x16 screws (30 NM). The plastic covering is
attached to the fitting with a small screw from behind.
2.1.1. RESIZING OF HOLE IN FITTING FOR ELECTRIC LEG
SUPPORT
The hole indicated must be enlarged to Ø8 for the las-
hing fitting to be screwed to the chair if it has an electric
leg support.
2.1.2. SCREWING ON THE FITTING
First, the threaded block must be fastenedinto the C-rail
with 2 x pinol screws (11 NM), after which the fitting is
screwed on (30 NM) together with the lashing fitting,
using 2 x M8x20 Allen screws with low profile heads,
without washers.

The existing screws are replaced with M8x25 steel bolts.
After adjustment to suit the user the bolts must be firmly
tightened.
2.1.3. SCREWS IN LEG SUPPORT
An M5 thread has to be cut into the base of the leg
support. To prevent the leg support falling o, a M5x65
screw is fitted into the leg support from below. The
screw must not be screwed so far in as to prevent the
leg support being lifted and turned to the side.
The screw must jut out approx. 30 mm at the bottom.

seat, certain precautions apply to ensure that the wheelchair is lashed down as
safely as possible.

3.1. POSITIONING THE 3-POINT SEAT BELT ON THE USER
3.1.1. WRONG POSITIONING OF SEATBELT
Beware: The 3-point seat belt must not be tightened
across sharp edges. The drawing shows the incorrect
positioning of a 3-point seatbelt.
3.1.2. CORRECT POSITIONING OF SEATBELT
Beware: Seatbelts must not be held away from the body
by parts of the wheelchair, such as arm rests, wheels,
etc. The lap belt must be positioned as close as possible
to the hip joint. The seatbelt must have full contact with
the shoulder, chest and hips.
