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. 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.
Warning!
Do not lean on the strap between the push
handles.
Walking with the rollator
4
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.
Negotiating obstacles, tipping
5
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 deflector
6
Gemino is equipped with a side deflector
which prevents the back wheel from catching
on protruding obstacles such as door frames
and corners.
Folding the rollator
7
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
7
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
7
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.
