USER MANUAL

Operation of your Wijit

  When driving the Wijit, remember to keep your hands on

 

the handle grips to avoid accidentally shifting out of gear.

 

(See Figure 1)

  For shifting, use your thumb to push on the paddle, or

 

move your hands up to the shifter grip, turn the shifter

 

to the desired position

 (

see Figure 2

)

, then move your

 

hand back down to the handle grip, located below the

 

shifter grip. 

(See Figure 1)

  Pull the lever arms in toward your body to apply the

 

Wijit’s brakes. 

(See Figure 3)

  Always shift the Wijit into neutral before placing the lever

 

arms into the “Park” position.

  For the correct range of motion the Wijit axle must be

 

registered correctly when inserted into the axle sleeve.
