Warnings:-  
 
 

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. 
 
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 wheelchair.
