V. SET UP & USE OF YOUR WHEELCHAIR
B. 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.
•
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 item
separately.
•
If the chair is equipped with an oxygen tank holder never use the wheelchair as a seat in a
motor vehicle.
