GRIT GRITJunior, Assembly Manual & User'S Manual

Page: 6 / 54

WARNING:
TIPPING IS POSSIBLE, especially when going uphill. One way to prevent
this is for the rider to ALTERNATE lever strokes during ascents, instead of pumping both
levers at the same time. Riders should always wear a helmet and ride with an adult who can spot
them from behind. Total independence in the GRIT Junior may come, but safety must be the
priority.
CAUTION:
Cautions indicate a potentially hazardous situation. Failure to heed these
cautions could result in minor or moderate injury. Cautions also indicate unsafe practices and
conditions that may damage your GRIT Junior or void the warranty. For example:
CAUTION:
Any fall can be dangerous. Always wear a helmet. Always be aware of your
surroundings. This manual does not cover every possible dangerous situation or improper use of the
GRIT Junior. You and the young rider are responsible for your own safety and accept all risks
associated with using the GRIT Junior.
1.3. Intended Operator
• In order to safely operate the GRIT Junior independently, certain levels of upper body
strength and control are required. Grip strength is required for braking and turning, but
adaptations can be made, such as using
Active Hands gloves to pull the levers back for
braking and turning.
• It is your responsibility to determine if the GRIT Junior is right for you. If you are unsure,
consult with your physical therapist or medical advisors prior to riding the GRIT Junior.
• The GRIT Junior can be modi ed to accommodate riders of di erent shapes and sizes. If
your young rider isn’t comfortable in the chair you’ve received, contact GRIT and we’ll be
happy to help.
• The GRIT warranty covers only the original owner of the chair. Subsequent owners will
have access to the GRIT support team but will not be covered under the initial warranty.
• You can reach out to GRIT directly at support@gogrit.us or 617-356-8106 to discuss what
modi cations and adjustments can be made to maximize your performance.
