• Set the pushing handles to the correct 

height.

• Check the brakes and adjust them if 

necessary

Using the rollator 

2

Driving brake

Always check that the brakes are working 
before starting to use the rollator.
• Squeeze the brake handles to walk with the 

rollator.

• Release the brake handles to brake the 

rollator

• The brakes are activated when the brake 

handles are released 

• 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.

 Laser light for freezing 

Incidents

The laser light shows a green line. The freezing 
situation can be treated by using the laser light 
as a visual cue to resume walking
• Push the button 

 to activate the laser light.

• The laser light turns automatically off after 

10 seconds.

4

 Slow down brake

The rollator is equipped with slow down 
brakes. To avoid the rollator “running away” 
by unintentional movements or downhill. 
The slow down brake gives resistance when 
walking.
• Activate the slow down brake by pushing 

the handle downwards. Deactivate by 
pulling up. When the slow down brakes 
are deactivated, the wheels rolls without 
resistance.

5

Seat

• Always sit with your back towards the 

direction of travel.

• A sling-style backrest for better support can 

be purchased as an accessory.

6

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.

7

 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.

8

 Side deflector

Gemino is equipped with a side deflector 

, 

which prevents the back wheel from catching 
on protruding obstacles such as door frames 
and corners.

9

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.

Be aware that the rollator cannot be 
folded into a locked position for all height 
adjustments! with the Parkinson pushbutton 
housing mounted on the inner side.

9

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.

9

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

10

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.

11

 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 

.
