V. Oxygen Tank Holder
WARNING: Remove and secure any items temporarily attached to the chair while in a
motor vehicle. Leaving items attached to the 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.
•
Oxygen tanks can be dangerous if not used properly. Oxygen tanks contain a highly
pressurized gas that vigorously accelerates combustion. Ensure you have been
provided proper instructions for using an oxygen tank by the supplier of your tank.
You must heed all warnings and follow all of the instructions for use that have been
provided by the supplier of your oxygen tank. Failure to follow all of the instructions
for use, and heed all warnings, for oxygen tanks can result in serious injury or
death.
How to Use the Oxygen Tank Holder
1. Instructions for Use:
This oxygen tank holder has been designed to secure D cylinders to your wheelchair. Ensure that
the bottle is well seated in the bottom of the holder and the clamp is tightened to the point that
the cylinder cannot be pulled out.
W. Surface Temperature
WARNING: Handling of wheelchair surfaces with elevated temperatures can result in a
potentially hazardous situation which, if not avoided, could result in injury.
Be aware that prolonged exposure to direct sunlight or other sources of radiant heat may
increase the temperature of surfaces on your wheelchair above recommended limits estimated
by standards.
