GENERAL GUIDELINES
MANDATORY! Do not operate your new wheelchair for the first time without completely reading
and understanding this owner’s manual.
Your wheelchair is a state-of-the-art life-enhancement device designed to increase mobility. Pride provides an
extensive variety of products to best fit the individual needs of the wheelchair user. Please be aware that the final
selection and purchasing decision regarding the type of wheelchair to be used is the responsibility of the wheel-
chair user, who is capable of making such a decision, and his/her healthcare professional (i.e., medical doctor,
physical therapist, etc.).
The contents of this manual are based on the expectation that a mobility device expert has properly fitted the
wheelchair to the user and has assisted the prescribing healthcare professional and/or the Quantum Rehab Provider
in the instruction process for the use of the product.
There are certain situations, including some medical conditions, where the wheelchair user will need to practice
operating the wheelchair in the presence of a trained attendant. A trained attendant can be defined as a family
member or care professional specially trained in assisting a wheelchair user in various daily living activities.
As you begin using your wheelchair during daily activities, you will probably encounter situations in which you
will need some practice. Simply take your time and you will soon be in full and confident control as you maneuver
through doorways, on and off of elevators, up and down ramps, and over moderate terrain.
Below are some precautions, tips, and other safety considerations that will help you become accustomed to oper-
ating your wheelchair safely.
Modifications
Pride has designed and engineered your wheelchair to provide maximum mobility and utility. A wide range of
accessories is available from your Quantum Rehab Provider to further customize your wheelchair to better suit
your needs and/or preferences. However, under no circumstances should you modify, add, remove, or disable any
feature, part, or function of your wheelchair.
WARNING! Do not modify your wheelchair in any way not authorized by Pride. Do not use
accessories if they have not been tested or approved for Pride products.
Pre-Ride Safety Check
Get to know the feel of your wheelchair and its capabilities. Pride recommends that you perform a safety check
before each use to make sure your wheelchair operates smoothly and safely. Before riding, you should be trained
in the safe use of this wheelchair by your Quantum Rehab Provider.
Perform the following inspections prior to using your wheelchair:
Check for proper tire inflation. Maintain but do not exceed the psi/bar/kPa air pressure rating indicated on each
tire if equipped with pneumatic tires.
Check the brakes. See V. “Care and Maintenance.”
NOTE: If you discover a problem, contact your Quantum Rehab Provider for assistance.

Litestream XF www.pridemobility.com 9
II. SAFETY
Weight Limitations
Your wheelchair is rated for a maximum weight capacity. Please refer to the specifications table for this limit.
Keep in mind that the maximum weight capacity includes the combined weight of the user and any accessories
mounted to the wheelchair.
MANDATORY! Stay within the specified weight capacity of your wheelchair. Exceeding the
weight capacity voids your warranty. Pride will not be held responsible for injuries and/or
property damage resulting from failure to observe weight limitations.
WARNING! Do not carry passengers on your wheelchair. Carrying passengers on your wheelchair
may affect the center of gravity, resulting in a tip or a fall.
WARNING! The rear flap is for pocket items such as cell phones, keys, and papers. Avoid storing
sharp objects in the rear flap. There are no other storage areas on your wheelchair.
WARNING! Do not carry heavy baggage weighing more than 10 lbs. (4.5 kg) on the back of the
wheelchair. Carrying or tying baggage in excess of 10 lbs. (4.5 kg) on the back of the wheelchair
may affect the center of gravity, resulting in a tip or a fall.
Tire Inflation
If your wheelchair is equipped with pneumatic tires, you should check or have the air pressure checked regularly.
Proper inflation pressures will prolong the life of your tires and help ensure the smooth operation of your wheelchair.
WARNING! It is important that the psi/bar/kPa air pressure rating indicated on the tire be
maintained in pneumatic tires at all times. Do not underinflate or overinflate your tires. Low
pressure may result in loss of control, and overinflated tires may burst. Failure to maintain the
psi/bar/kPa air pressure rating indicated on the pneumatic tires at all times may result in tire
and/or wheel failure.
WARNING! Inflate your wheelchair drive tires from a regulated air source with an available
pressure gauge. Inflating your tires from an unregulated air source could overinflate them,
resulting in a burst tire.
NOTE: If the tire on your wheelchair lists the psi rating only, use the following conversion formulas to find
the bar or kPa rating: bar = psi x 0.06895; kPa = psi x 6.89476.
Incline Information
More and more buildings have ramps with specified degrees of inclination, designed for easy and safe access.
Some ramps may have turning switchbacks (180-degree turns) that require you to have good cornering skills on
your wheelchair.
Proceed with extreme caution as you approach the downgrade of a ramp or other incline.
Take wide swings with your wheelchair’s front wheels around any tight corners. If you do that, the
wheelchair’s rear wheels will follow a wide arc, not cut the corner short, and not bump into or get hung up on
any railing corners.
When driving down a ramp, proceed slowly to ensure a safely controlled descent.
Avoid sudden stops and starts.
When climbing an incline, try to keep your wheelchair moving. If you must stop, start up again slowly and then
accelerate cautiously. When driving down an incline, proceed slowly and drive in the forward direction only. If
your wheelchair starts to move down the incline faster than you anticipated or desired, bring it to a complete stop
using both hands, then proceed slowly to ensure a safely controlled descent.
WARNING! When on any sort of an incline or decline, never allow the wheelchair to roll
freely while seated on it or standing next to it.
WARNING! When climbing an incline, do not zigzag or drive at an angle up the face of the
incline. Drive your wheelchair straight up the incline. This greatly reduces the possibility
of a tip or a fall. Always exercise extreme caution when negotiating an incline.
WARNING! You should not travel up or down a potentially hazardous incline (i.e., areas
covered with snow, ice, cut grass, or wet leaves).
WARNING! Never travel down an incline backward. Doing so may cause the wheelchair
to tip. Always exercise extreme caution when negotiating an incline.

10 www.pridemobility.com Litestream XF
II. SAFETY
Figure 1. Maximum Safe Slope (Ascending and Descending)
WARNING! If your wheelchair is equipped with a reclining seatback, do not attempt to negotiate
inclines with the seat in a reclined position. Do not attempt to negotiate obstacles with the seat
in a reclined position unless an attendant is present to help stabilize the chair. Failure to heed
may result in the wheelchair tipping over.
WARNING! If your wheelchair is equipped with an optional carry bag mounted to the seatback,
do not overload the bag or exceed the maximum load rating of the bag. Doing so could cause
instability in your wheelchair when negotiating inclines, causing it to tip.
WARNING! Even though your wheelchair is capable of climbing slopes greater than those
illustrated in figure 1, do not, under any circumstances, exceed the incline guidelines or any other
specifications presented in this manual. Doing so could cause instability in your wheelchair.
Pride recommends that the maximum slope of an incline you attempt to safely ascend or descend on your wheel-
chair does not exceed 5° (8.7%). See figure 1.
WARNING! Any attempt to climb or descend a slope steeper than 5° (8.7%) may put your
wheelchair in an unstable position and cause it to tip.
Braking Information
To stop the wheelchair, apply pressure to both handrims until the wheelchair comes to a complete stop.
Manual Wheel Locks
Your wheelchair is equipped with two manual wheel locks; one mounted near (or directly in front of) each drive
wheel. The manual wheel locks help prevent your wheelchair from moving when parked. After you bring your
wheelchair to a complete stop, engage both manual wheel locks. There are three types of manual wheel locks
available on your wheelchair: push-to-lock, pull-to-lock, and scissor-lock. If you have any questions about the
operation of your manual wheel locks, contact your Quantum Rehab Provider.
WARNING! Do not attempt to use either manual wheel lock lever to stop your wheelchair.
WARNING! Pride does not recommend that you remain parked on an incline for a long period of time.
WARNING! Use care when operating wheel lock. Possible pinch point created during operation.
Cornering Information
While your wheelchair is equipped with front caster wheels, excessively high cornering speeds can still create the
possibility of tipping. Factors which affect the possibility of tipping include, but are not limited to: cornering
speed, steering angle (how sharply you are turning), uneven road surfaces, inclined road surfaces, riding from an
area of low traction to an area of high traction (such as passing from a grassy area to a paved area – especially at
high speed while turning), and abrupt directional changes. High cornering speeds are not recommended. If you
feel that you may tip over in a corner, reduce your speed and steering angle (i.e., lessen the sharpness of the turn)
to prevent your wheelchair from tipping.
WARNING! When cornering sharply, reduce your speed and maintain a stable center of gravity.
This greatly reduces the possibility of a tip or fall.
Public Streets and Roadways
WARNING! You should not operate your wheelchair on public streets and roadways. Be aware that it
may be difficult for traffic to see you when you are seated on your wheelchair. Obey all local
pedestrian traffic rules. Wait until your path is clear of traffic, and then proceed with extreme caution.

II. SAFETY
Figure 2. Correct Curb Approach Figure 3. Incorrect Curb Approach
Outdoor Driving Surfaces
Your wheelchair is designed to provide optimum stability under normal driving conditions—dry, level surfaces
composed of concrete, blacktop, or asphalt. However, Pride recognizes that there will be times when you will
encounter other surface types. For this reason, your wheelchair is designed to perform admirably on packed soil,
grass, and gravel. Feel free to use your wheelchair safely on lawns and in park areas.
Avoid driving on uneven terrain and/or soft surfaces.
Avoid tall grass that can entangle the drive wheels or caster wheels.
Avoid loosely packed gravel and sand.
Avoid uneven surfaces.
Do not use your wheelchair in fresh or salt water.
Do not use your wheelchair at the edge of a stream, lake, or ocean.
If you feel unsure about a driving surface, avoid that surface.
Inclement Weather Precautions
Exposure of your wheelchair to inclement weather conditions should be avoided whenever possible. If suddenly
caught up in rain, snow, severe cold or heat while operating your wheelchair, proceed to shelter at the earliest
opportunity. Thoroughly dry your wheelchair before storing or operating your wheelchair.
PROHIBITED! Operating in rain, snow, salt, mist/spray conditions, and on icy/slippery surfaces
can have an adverse affect on your wheelchair. Maintain and store your wheelchair in a dry and
clean condition.
WARNING! Prolonged exposure to hot or cold conditions may affect the temperature of
upholstered and non-upholstered items on the wheelchair, possibly resulting in skin irritation.
Exercise caution when using the wheelchair in extremely hot or cold conditions or when
exposing your wheelchair to direct sunlight for prolonged periods of time.
Stationary Obstacles (Steps, Curbs, etc.)
Proceed with extreme caution when driving near raised surfaces, unprotected ledges and/or drop-offs (curbs,
porches, stairs, etc.). Be sure your wheelchair is traveling perpendicular to any curb you may be required to
navigate. See figure 2.
WARNING! WARNING! Even though your wheelchair may be capable of handling greater
obstacles, Pride recommends that you do not attempt to negotiate a curb that has a height
greater than 2 in. (5 cm). Doing so could cause instability in your wheelchair.
Stairs and Escalators
Wheelchairs are not designed to travel up or down stairs or escalators. Always use an elevator.
WARNING! Never use your wheelchair to negotiate steps or escalators.

12 www.pridemobility.com Litestream XF
II. SAFETY
Doors
Determine if the door opens toward or away from you.
Drive your wheelchair gently and slowly forward to push the door open. Or drive your wheelchair gently and
slowly backward to pull the door open.
Elevators
Modern elevators have a door edge safety mechanism that, when pushed, reopens the elevator door(s).
If you are in the doorway of an elevator when the door(s) begin to close, push on the rubber door edge or allow
the rubber door edge to contact the wheelchair and the door will reopen.
Use care that pocketbooks, packages, or wheelchair accessories do not become caught in elevator doors.
Lift Systems/Elevation Products
If you will be transporting your wheelchair during travel, you may find it necessary to use a vehicle-mounted lift
system or elevation product to aid in transportation. Pride recommends that you closely review the warnings,
instructions, specifications, and safety information set forth by the manufacturer of the lift/elevation product
before using that product.
WARNING! Not all lift systems/elevation products are rated for use with an occupied mobility
device. Pride recommends that you do not remain seated in your wheelchair when it is being
used in connection with any type of lift system/elevation product unless:
That product is rated for occupied use by the manufacturer.
You are able to occupy your mobility device in strict conformity with the warnings,
instructions, specifications, and safety guidelines set forth by the manufacturer.
Motor Vehicle Transport
Pride recommends that you do not remain seated in your wheelchair while traveling in a motor vehicle. Your wheel-
chair was designed to be folded and 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.
WARNING! The wheelchair user should transfer into the motor vehicle seat and use the vehicle-
installed restraint system whenever feasible. The wheelchair user should never sit in the
wheelchair while it is in a moving vehicle unless it is equipped and properly secured with a
manufacturer-installed transit securement system.
Positioning Belts
Your Quantum Rehab Provider, therapist(s), and other healthcare professionals are responsible for determining
your requirement for a positioning belt in order to operate your wheelchair safely. Typically, the positioning belt
is not designed for use as a restraining device in a motor vehicle. You should be properly belted into seats
approved by the vehicle manufacturer with your wheelchair properly stowed for vehicle transport or secured using
an optional transit securement system.
Positioning belts should be installed as detailed in this manual. See IV. “Comfort Adjustments.” Once installed,
the belt should be placed across the pelvis as determined by your healthcare provider. Anchor points of the posi-
tioning belts should be located so that a projected side-view angle of the pelvis is between 45°-75° of horizontal
depending on the user’s weight, posture, and seat cushion thickness.
WARNING! If you require a positioning belt to safely operate your wheelchair, make sure it is
fastened securely in order to reduce the possibility of a fall from the wheelchair.
WARNING! The positioning belt is not designed for use as a seat belt in a motor vehicle. Nor is
your wheelchair suitable for use as a seat in any vehicle. Anyone traveling in a vehicle should
be properly belted into seats approved by the vehicle manufacturer.

Litestream XF www.pridemobility.com 13
Removable Parts
WARNING! Do not attempt to lift or move a wheelchair by any of its removable parts, including
the armrests, seat, and front riggings. Do not attempt to pick up the wheelchair while the seat
is occupied.
Reaching and Bending
Never reach, lean, or bend while driving your wheelchair. If it is absolutely necessary to reach, lean, or bend while
seated on your wheelchair, it is important to maintain a stable center of gravity and keep the wheelchair from
tipping. Pride recommends that the wheelchair user determine his/her personal limitations and practice bending
and reaching in the presence of a qualified healthcare professional.
WARNING! Do not bend, lean, or reach for objects if you have to pick them up from the
floor by reaching down between your knees or if you have to reach over the back of the
seat. Movements such as these may change your center of gravity and the weight
distribution of the wheelchair. This may cause your wheelchair to tip.
WARNING! Keep your hands away from the tires when driving. Be aware that loose
fitting clothing can become caught in drive tires.
Transfers
Transferring onto and off of your wheelchair requires a
good sense of balance. Always have an attendant or
healthcare professional present while learning to properly
transfer yourself.
To eliminate the possibility of injury, Pride recommends
that you or a trained attendant perform the following tasks
before attempting a transfer:
Turn both caster wheels toward the transfer
destination to improve wheelchair stability during
transfer.
Ensure both wheel locks on your wheelchair are
engaged. See III. “Your Wheelchair.”
If necessary, remove or flip up one or both armrests.
See IV. “Comfort Adjustments.”
Move the leg rests aside; this will help to keep your
feet from getting caught on the front rigging during the
transfer.
Reduce the distance between your wheelchair and the
object you are transferring onto.
WARNING! Before transferring, position yourself as far back as possible in the wheelchair seat
to prevent the wheelchair from tipping forward during transfer.
WARNING! Avoid putting all of your weight on the wheelchair armrests and do not use the
armrests for weight bearing purposes, such as transfers. Such use may cause the wheelchair to
tip, resulting in a fall from the wheelchair and personal injury.
WARNING! Avoid putting all of your weight on the front riggings. Such use may cause the
wheelchair to tip.
WARNING! Ensure legs, hands, and clothing are clear of the scissor-style wheel lock levers when
attempting to transfer.

Prescription Drugs/Physical Limitations
Users must exercise care and common sense when operating a wheelchair. This includes awareness of safety
issues when taking prescribed or over-the-counter drugs or when the user has specific physical limitations.
WARNING! Consult your physician if you are taking prescribed or over-the-counter medication or
if you have certain physical limitations. Some medications and limitations may impair your
ability to operate your wheelchair in a safe manner.
Alcohol/Smoking
The wheelchair user must exercise care and common sense when operating his/her wheelchair. This includes
awareness of safety issues while under the influence of alcohol or while smoking.
WARNING! Do not operate your wheelchair while you are under the influence of alcohol, as this
may impair your ability to operate your wheelchair in a safe manner.
WARNING! Pride strongly recommends that you do not smoke cigarettes while seated in your
wheelchair, although the wheelchair has passed the necessary testing requirements for

should not be reused as it may cause damage to the
nylon insert, resulting in a less secure fit. Replace-
ment nylon insert lock nuts are available at local
hardware stores or through your Quantum Rehab
Provider.
Drive Wheel Adjustments
Each drive wheel is attached to the frame by an axle
bracket. The location of the drive wheel center bolt and
nut on the axle bracket determines the drive wheel
position. The location of the axle bracket on the
wheelchair frame determines the drive wheel height
and can affect performance and center of gravity.
WARNING! The more forward that you
adjust your drive wheel, the more
likely your wheelchair will tip over
backward. Always make adjustments
in small increments, and check the
stability of your wheelchair with a
Quantum Rehab Provider or with a
spotter to prevent a tip over. We
recommend that you use anti-tip tubes
until you adapt to the change and are
sure that you are not at risk to tip over.
