The parking brakes can be adjusted if they seem too loose or too tight. A correctly fit parking brake will
lock the wheel with the minimum pull force required. For more information about our parking brakes,
see:

Note: Be sure to release the parking brakes before using the lever drivetrain!
7.5. Transferring
There are a number of ways to transfer in and out of the Freedom Chair. Use whatever
technique works for you. Our riders have recommended the following tips:
• Always engage the parking brakes before transferring into the Freedom Chair.
• 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 Freedom Chair.
• When transferring out of the chair, many prefer to swing both legs over to the transfer
side of the chair before making the transfer.
• 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.
• You may use your own cushion in the Freedom Chair or stack your cushion on the
provided cushion for a higher riding position.
• For transfer videos from other riders, see:
CAUTION:
Use caution when transferring, as an improper transfer may result in a fall.
ALWAYS ENGAGE THE PARKING BRAKES WHEN TRANSFERRING.
