Using the rollator 

2

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.

2

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.

3

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.

4

 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.

5

 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.

6

 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.

7

 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.

7

 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.

7

 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

8

 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

 Angle of the push handles 

To achieve the correct pushing position and 
grip for the brakes, the angle of the pushing 
handles must be adjusted.
•  Loosen the locking wheel 

.

•  Rotate the pushing handle to the correct 

position.

•  Tighten the locking wheel 

.

•  Loosen the bolts 

.

•  Adjust the angle of the support unit
•  Tighten bolts 

.

11

 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
