The parking brakes can be adjusted if they seem too loose or too tight. A correctly t parking brake will
lock the wheel with the minimum pull force required. For more information about our parking brakes,
see: https://www.gogrit.us/freedom-chair-support#brakeadjusting
Note: Be sure to release the parking brakes before using the lever drivetrain!
7.5. Transferring
There are many methods of transferring in and out of the GRIT Junior. Use whatever
technique works for you. Our riders have recommended the following tips:
• Always engage the parking brakes before transferring into the GRIT Junior.
• Remove and store the levers before transferring.
• When transferring into the chair, many prefer to transfer into the seat before swinging
one leg over the main tube of the GRIT Junior.
• When transferring out of the chair, many prefer to swing both legs over to the transfer
side of the chair before making the transfer.
• Have the young rider grab the seat or the wheels (after the parking brakes have been engaged) to
help with transferring.
• The footrest may be lowered prior to transferring to make clearance.
• The front tube is a useful grab point when transferring from low positions or the ground.
• For transfer videos from other riders, see: www.gogrit.us/faq#transfer
CAUTION:
Use caution when transferring, as an improper transfer may result in a fall.
ALWAYS ENGAGE THE PARKING BRAKES WHEN TRANSFERRING.
