Installing/Removing The Oxygen Holder - Invacare Pronto M41 Owner's Manual

SECTION 13—ACCESSORIES

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 mount-
ing knob.
NOTE: For this procedure, refer to FIGURE 13.2 on page 67.
NOTE: Reverse the following procedure to remove the oxygen holder.
NOTE: The Crutch/Cane Holder, Oxygen Holder, and Walker Holder all install into the accessory
tube. Only one of these may be installed at a time.
1. Install the mounting tube of the oxygen holder into the accessory tube located on the
back of the seat.
2. Position the appropriate fastener into the welded nut on the accessory tube.
3. Grip the mounting hand knob firmly, and securely tighten it.
4. Thread the two clamp knobs through the two welded nuts on the upper support of the
oxygen holder, and position the two protective caps on the end of the clamp knobs.
5. Repeat STEP 4 for the two clamp knobs on the lower support of the oxygen holder.
