WARNING: Remove and secure any items temporarily attached to the chair while in a
motor vehicle. Leaving items attached to the vent tray, battery tray or oxygen tank holder
and not securing them properly and separately in a motor vehicle could result in these
items becoming dangerous projectiles in the event of an accident. Additionally, oxygen
tanks contain a highly pressurized gas that vigorously accelerates combustion.
