If using medical oxygen cylinders ensure compliance with applicable regulations.
When mounting an oxygen cylinder onto the wheelchair care must be taken to ensure
the wheelchair will not be damaged in any way. In addition the stability of the
wheelchair must not adversely affected. If necessary, stability tests should be carried
out on the loaded wheelchair.
If an oxygen cylinder is required it must be mounted in an approved oxygen tray, be
adequately supported, preferably in a cradle, and restrained considering the intended
wheelchair use and environment. Valve, gauges and fittings must be adequately protected
from mechanical damage.
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.
