tered when attempting to fold the wheelchair. It may
be necessary to remove the drive wheels to fold the

Transporting Your Litestream Junior
The Litestream Junior was designed to be stored in a
secure location, such as the trunk of a car, during motor
vehicle transport, unless it is equipped with an optional
transit securement system. If your wheelchair is
equipped with a transit securement system, refer to the
Transit Securement System supplement provided with
your wheelchair.
To stow the Litestream Junior (foldable
configuration only):
1. Fold the Litestream Junior.
2. With one hand, grab and squeeze together both
push handles. See figure 9.
3. With the other hand, grab and squeeze together
both seat interface tubes.
NOTE: You can also remove the drive wheels to make
the wheelchair more compact. See “Drive Wheel
Adjustments.”
WARNING! If you remove the drive
wheels, make sure the quick-release
mechanism snaps into place when
reinstalling the wheel. See “Drive
Wheel Adjustments.”
Folding Down the Seatback of your Litestream
Junior

back canes, the back canes can be folded down for
easier transport.
