When you receive your

Gemino

Assembly

The rollator is supplied complete as standard.

All you need to do is:

• Unfold the rollator.

• Set the pushing handles to the correct

height.

• Fit and adjust any accessories

• Check the brakes and adjust them if

necessary

Packaging

Take the packaging to an appropriate waste

reception centre. The plastic and cardboard

used in the packaging can be recycled.

Using the rollator

Driving brake

Always check that the brakes are working

before starting to use the rollator.

• If you need to brake while pushing the

rollator, squeeze the brake lever a little to

reduce your speed.

• Do not push the rollator with the brakes in

the locked position. If you attempt to push

the rollator with force when the brakes are

locked or partly locked, this will result in

damage to the tyres and brakes, which in

turn can stop the brakes working properly.

• Do not use the rollator if the brakes are

defect.

Parking brake

• Push the brake lever down to activate the

parking brake. You will hear a faint click

when the parking brake has activated.

• Pull the brake lever up to release the

parking brake.

Warning!

Always use the parking brake when you

stop or park the rollator.

Always use the parking brake when you are

going to sit on the seat.

Seat

• Ensure that the parking brake is on before

you sit down.

• Always sit with your back towards the

direction of travel.

• A sling-style backrest for better support

can be purchased as an accessory.

Walking with the rollator

For the best support and the safest

movement, walk fully upright with the rollator

near your body. Tuck your bottom in. Look

forwards, not downwards.

Warning!

Do not push the rollator a long way in front

of your body. This can lead to falls and

incorrect loadings.

Do not lean or reach too far to the side

when using the rollator as the sideways

weight will make the rollator unstable.

Negotiating obstacles, tipping

bar

Step on the tipping bar to tip up the front

wheels of the rollator when you need to

negotiate kerbs, sills or other obstacles.

Side deﬂ ector

Gemino is equipped with a side deﬂ ector

which prevents the back wheel from catching

on protruding obstacles such as door frames

and corners.

Folding the rollator

The rollator locks automatically in the

completely folded position.

• Pull the strap

to fold up the rollator.

When the rollator is completely folded, it

locks and you will hear a faint click.

Warning!

Be aware of the danger of trapping injuries

when folding and unfolding the rollator.

Unfolding the rollator

The rollator locks automatically in the

completely open position.

• Pull the operating handles apart.

• Press the side bars down until you hear a

small click in the fully unfolded position.

• Before using the rollator, make sure that

the folding mechanism is locked in place.

Lifting and carrying the

rollator

The lifting handles are most easily accessible

when the rollator is folded.

• Fold the rollator before lifting it, as this

is the best way to lift it and the easiest

because of the relation between weight

and the lifting handles.

Adjusting the rollator

Height of the pushing

handles

To achieve the correct pushing position and

avoid incorrect loadings, the pushing handles

must be adjusted so that the user walks

upright into the rollator and does not need to

bend his or her back while pushing.

• Lift the catch.

• Push or pull the pushing handle to the

correct height.

• Release the catch. The pushing handle will

now be automatically locked at the correct

height.

9 Memory function for correct

height of pushing handle

The memory function enables you to quickly

set the pushing handle back to the correct

height if the height has been changed during

transport etc.

• Before activating the memory function,

you must decide the correct height of the

push handles

• Loosen the screw

using a 3 mm Allen

key.

• Lift out the pushing handle.

• Turn the memory block

through 90° and

pull it right out.

• Position the block at the correct height.

Now the pushing handle cannot be

positioned higher than the point at which

the memory block has been set, but you

can still push it right down for transport.

• Tightly close the height adjustment catch

once you have positioned the pushing

handle correctly.

• Retighten the screw

10 Adjusting the brakes

The brakes should be adjusted so that

they brake all wheels equally. The distance

between the brake block and the brake

should be about 2 mm. When the parking

brake is applied, the brake block should not

press in to the rubber of the wheel, as this

can damage the wheel.

• Loosen the locking nut

• Adjust the brake by screwing the cable

adjuster nut

inwards or outwards.

• Test the brakes by spinning the wheel and

squeezing the brake levers.

The wheels should run easily
