Warnings:
If using medical oxygen cylinders ensure compliance with applicable regulations.
When mounting an oxygen cylinder onto the Snappi Pushchair care must be taken
to ensure the system will not be damaged in any way. In addition the stability of the
Snappi Pushchair must not be adversely affected. If necessary, stability tests
should be carried out on the loaded assembly.
2. If an oxygen cylinder is required it must be mounted in an approved carrying tray,
be adequately supported and restrained considering the intended use and
environment.
Important:
When the Snappi Pushchair is used as a seat in a vehicle, the oxygen cylinder and
carrying tray must be removed. Note the vertical carrier is fixed and can be left in
place; however the oxygen cylinder must still be removed.
3. Valve, gauges and fittings must be adequately protected from mechanical damage.
4. When using an oxygen cylinder, users and carers should be aware of the potential
hazard caused by smoking, naked flames or other exposed heat sources, oil or
grease.
5. Because the fitting and use of oxygen are outside the control of Tendercare Ltd,
Tendercare Ltd does not accept any liability relating to the use of oxygen with the
Snappi Pushchair.
