The management system of SUNRISE MEDICAL is certified to ISO 13485 and ISO 14001.

Contraindications
The rollator shall not be used in case of:

• Perception disorder
• Severe disequilibrium

• Joint contracture or joint damage on both arms

NOTE:
Please note that driving a wheelchair requires sufficient cognitive, physical and visual skills. The user must be able to assess the effects of actions during the operation of the wheelchair and, if necessary, to correct them. These capabilities and the safe use of the additionally attached components cannot be assessed by Sunrise Medical as a manufacturer. We cannot accept any liability for any damage resulting from this.
Please refer to the operating instructions of the wheelchair and the additionally mounted components. Instruct the user in the safe use of the wheelchair and the additionally mounted components. Inform users of specific warnings that need to be read, understood, and respected.

When you receive your Gemino

1. 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 cardboard used in the packaging can be recycled.

Using the rollator

1. 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.
   • With the optional reverse brake 2b you need to 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 defective.

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.

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 A, 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 A 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. 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 A.
   • Adjust the brake by screwing the cable adjuster nut B inwards or outwards.
   • Test the brakes by spinning the wheel and squeezing the brake levers.
   The wheels should run easily

Safety

Warning!
Always check that the brakes are working before using the rollator.
Make sure that the folding mechanism is locked in place after unfolding the rollator.
Always use the parking brake when stopping or parking.
Ensure that the rollator has been adjusted to the correct height to avoid incorrect loadings and falls. Do not push the rollator a long way in front of your body.
Be aware of the possibility of trapping injuries; avoid putting your fingers between the rollator’s moving parts. Pay particular attention when folding and unfolding the rollator.
If the rollator is subject to direct sunlight / cold temperature for a long period of time, then surfaces of the rollator may become hot (>41°C) / very cold. Be careful when
touching the rollator in these conditions as skin burns or freeze can occur. People with Hypoesthesia should be extra careful.
Users must move among pedestrians and not on trafficked roadways. Use reflectors when using the rollator outdoors.

Maintenance

Maintenance described in this section can be carried out by the user. Other maintenance work should be carried out by qualified personnel at the supplier in your municipality
or at the technical aids centre. For information about repairs and servicing, please contact the technical aids centre in your county.
Washing the frame
The frame should be washed regularly with warm soapy water. If the frame is very dirty, a degreasing agent may be used. The frame may be washed with a high-pressure hose. If you use this method, avoid directly spraying the ball bearings. Dry the rollator thoroughly after washing it or after it has been used in rainy conditions. If a degreasing agent is used, moving parts should be greased afterwards.
Cleaning the brakes
Clean the brake blocks and brake springs regularly.
Cleaning the basket
The basket can be removed and washed separately. Machine wash 60°, hand wash 40° or disinfection.
To disinfect; use approved chemical disinfectant. Do not use heat disinfection.
Conditions that could damage the rollator
The rollator should not be used at temperatures below -35 °C or above 60 °C. No specific requirements are made in connection with humidity or air pressure. No further requirements are made regarding storage conditions.
Screws and nuts
Screws and nuts can become loose over time.
Therefore, remember to check and if necessary retighten all screws and nuts on a regular basis.
A thread-locking product, such as Loctite Blue No. 243, may be used.
If self-locking nuts have been removed they lose some of their locking ability and should be replaced.
Disinfection
Disinfection should only be carried out by qualified personnel. The rollator can be disinfected using a disinfectant containing 70–80 per cent ethanol, max 1000ppm Chloride
(bleach) or hot water up to 85° for max 10 minutes. Do not use disinfectants that contain phenols.

Hygiene measures when being reused:
Prior to the wheelchair being re-used, it must be carefully prepared. All surfaces which come into contact with the user must be treated with a disinfection spray.
To do this, you must use a disinfectant as authorised/recommended in your country, for rapid alcohol-based disinfection for medical products and medical devices, which must be disinfected quickly.
Please be aware of the manufacturer’s instructions for the disinfectant you are using.
In general, a complete disinfection cannot be guaranteed on seams. We therefore recommend that you dispose of seat and back slings to avoid micro- bacterial contamination
with active agents according to your local infection protection law.

Adjust if necessary.

• Check that the wheels and the seat are in good condition and that they have not been damaged.
