If the Seatback Becomes Stuck
Sometimes, the seatback can be hard to insert or remove. This happens when: The seatback
tubes are not pushed into the seat simultaneously, if the canes on the seatback are bent, or if
the receiving sockets are misaligned or bent.
To release a jammed seatback:​ Tap one side of the seatback with the base of your hand
upward or downward. If this is a continuing issue, please contact GRIT at ​support@gogrit.us
and we will assist.
If your seatback doesn’t insert or align with the receiving sockets​: Check for damage to
the top of the seatpan, the canes, and the receiving sockets themselves. Call GRIT at
617-356-8106 or email ​ support@gogrit.us​ immediately.
Note: Keep your seatback tubes lubricated so they slide easily into the seat. We recommend
using a Teflon-based lubricant like ​Tri-Flow.
3.4. Attaching the Footrest
The footrest attaches to the Freedom Chair using the same clamp used on bicycle seats. The footrest
tube is inserted into the chair and then the clamp lever is used to lock the tube in place. The tightness
of the clamp can be adjusted with the adjustment nut opposite the clamp lever. ​See the following
page for photos that will help with attaching the footrest.
CAUTION:​
​
If the footrest is loose or sways side to side, the clamp is not tight enough.
The adjustment nut controls the tightness of the clamp. Pull the lever outward to open the clamp so
the footrest can be inserted and removed. Push the lever inward to close the clamp so the footrest is
held in place.
