IV. WHEELCHAIR USE & CONFIGURATION
D. Transit Use (Continued)
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. These
factors could lead to serious injury or death to the user and/or anyone else in the vehicle.
•
When using this wheelchair as a seat in a motor vehicle, you must remove any items
attached to the vent tray, battery tray or oxygen tank holder and properly secure them
separately.
•
If the chair is equipped with an oxygen tank holder never use the wheelchair as a seat in a
motor vehicle.
