It is best to ask your surgeon about post operative care as each doctor has their unique regimen. Gently running your fingers will not dislodge grafts after one to two weeks.

You should be fine. Just follow the recommended shampoo+conditioner procedure for removing the scabs and the grafts are secure enough by this point that there's really no danger of you causing any damage to them when the scabs are being removed.

by 9-10 days the grafts are secure in their new transplanted area. You should be washing your hair like normal, using shampoo and conditioner to the area to help soften the scabs so they come off. Also, the transplanted hair shafts will start to fall out as well, this is normal. 

At 10 days post operative the grafts are secure.  I recommend you begin to use the pads of your fingers and gently massage the grafts.  Also, you can stand under the shower for 10 minutes and the scabs should loosen up and fall off. Don't be alarmed if you see the small hairs come out as well.  The root of the hair is secure and protected under the scalp.

I recommend from day 10 the patient wash and massage the scalp when wet and massage with the weight of the fingers using the fingertips in a circular motion to break down any crusts. If performed twice daily, this will really speed up the healing process and break down the crusts and scabs. It will feel like grit coming off the scalp and this is part of the process.

If it’s the first surgery then some patients are  scared to massage but it really needs to be done. By day 10 grafts became secure  , so don’t be shy but massage to speed up this process.
