X. Oxygen Tank Holder
WARNING: Remove and secure any items temporarily attached to the chair while in a
motor vehicle. Leaving items attached to the 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.
• Oxygen tanks can be dangerous if not used properly. Oxygen tanks contain a highly
pressurized gas that vigorously accelerates combustion. Ensure you have been
provided proper instructions for using an oxygen tank by the supplier of your tank.
You must heed all warnings and follow all of the instructions for use that have been
provided by the supplier of your oxygen tank. Failure to follow all of the instructions
for use, and heed all warnings, for oxygen tanks can result in serious injury or
death.
How to Use the Oxygen Tank Holder
1. Instructions for Use:
This oxygen tank holder has been designed to secure D cylinders to your wheelchair. Ensure that
the bottle is well seated in the bottom of the holder and the clamp is tightened to the point that
the cylinder cannot be pulled out.
Y. Contact Surfaces
WARNING: Handling of wheelchair surfaces with elevated temperatures can result in a
potentially hazardous situation which, if not avoided, could result in injury.
• Do not expose the chair and components to any extreme cold. Extremely cold metal
surfaces may result in skin freezing to the surface and resulting in skin damage.
Be aware that prolonged exposure to direct sunlight or other sources of radiant heat may
increase the temperature of surfaces on your wheelchair above recommended limits estimated
by standards.
Caretakers should assess patients for adverse reactions on the skin from contact surfaces such
as redness, swelling, irritation sensitization, allergy, immune response or other reactions.
Z. Folding Your Catalyst
1. Remove any seating and positioning options which would prevent the chair from folding. If
chair is equipped with Quick Release One Arm Drive the drive shaft will need to be removed
prior to folding. Refer to One Arm Drive section for this instruction.
2. Grab the listing strap located on seat sling and lift upwards until chair is in a folding position.
3. (Optional) Remove quick-release wheels by depressing quick-release button on the axle and
sliding axle from axle receiver.
