USING THE LITESTREAM JUNIOR

The Litestream Junior is a manual wheelchair. Either an

attendant pushes it, or you move it by gripping the

hand-rims 

(see figure 5)

 and turning them in the desired

direction of travel. You steer it by turning one wheel

faster than the other. To stop the wheelchair, you apply

pressure to both handrims until the wheelchair comes to

a complete stop.
