7.3. Reversing
The GRIT Junior has a unique hill-hold braking feature. Rolling the chair backward rotates
the levers backward, which engages the brakes. This prevents the rider from rolling backward
down a hill.
As a result of this feature, however, the GRIT Junior is unable to move backward with
the levers inserted.
We designed the levers to be easy to remove. If you remove them, the
GRIT Junior will roll forward and backward freely.
Depending on the scenario, you may be able to remove a single lever and have your young rider
pivot on the wheel on that side. Then, re-insert that lever to propel forward again. When the
levers are removed, your young rider can put their hands on the wheels and use the GRIT
Junior just as they would a regular wheelchair.
7.4. Parking Brakes
CAUTION:
If you swap your tires or wheels, you’ll have to adjust the parking brakes! These
can also be adjusted for easier engagement or rmer braking pressure.
The GRIT Junior features unique parking brakes designed to be stronger and more reliable
than standard wheelchair brakes.
Always apply both parking brakes, as the application of a single parking brake does not
guarantee that the chair will not move.
a) Push down on the parking brake to disengage.
b) Parking brake in the o position. Chair can move.
c) Pull up on the parking brake lever to engage.
d) Parking brake in the on position. Chair is stopped.
