Installing/Removing The Oxygen Holder - Invacare Pronto M50 Service Manual

Installing/Removing the Oxygen Holder

Contact your oxygen supplier for instructions in the use of oxygen. Extreme care
MUST be exercised when using oxygen in close proximity to electric circuits.
The Invacare oxygen holder is designed to be used in conjunction with oxygen
cylinder models MD15 and ME24 only.
To maintain safety, use only Invacare oxygen cylinder accessories (i.e. regulator,
oxygen demand devices).
DO NOT use the oxygen holder for anything other than its intended purpose of
supporting an oxygen cylinder - otherwise, injury or damage may occur.
DO NOT attempt to modify the oxygen holder to fit any other type of wheelchair.
The oxygen holder was designed specifically for Invacare wheelchairs only.
The installation of the oxygen holder onto the back of the wheelchair seat
significantly increases the length of the wheelchair. When turning the wheelchair it
is important to take note of this increased length - otherwise, injury or damage may
occur.
When using nasal or masked type administering equipment, oxygen or air tubing
MUST be routed and secured properly to ensure that the tubing does not become
entangled, kinked or severed. If necessary, loosen but DO NOT remove the
mounting knob.
NOTE: For this procedure, refer to
FIGURE 14.2.
NOTE: Reverse the following procedure to
