In this paragraph a brief description of the intended use of your wheelchair is given. Additionally,

relevant warnings are added to the instructions in the other paragraphs. In this way we would like

to make you aware of the possible misuse that may appear.

 Indications and contraindications: The wheelchair can be pushed by an attendant or parent.

The wheelchair is intended for children with a disability or movement dysfunction because of

brain damage. The modular construction allows you to choose the optimal design for your

child’s specific needs.

 The wheelchair is suited for indoor and outdoor use.

 The wheelchair is designed to transport one (1) child with a maximum weight as specified in

§5. It is not designed for transportation of goods or objects, nor for any use other than

previously described.

 Only use accessories and spare parts approved by Vermeiren.

 Please read all technical details and limits of your wheelchair in chapter 5.

manual. Damage to your product caused by improper use or lack of maintenance will cause

2.3 General safety instructions

 As an attendant, do not use the wheelchair if you are under the influence of alcohol, medicines

or other substances that may influence your riding abilities.

 Be aware that some parts of your wheelchair may get very hot or cold due to ambient

temperature, solar radiation or heating devices. Be careful when touching. Wear protective

clothing if the weather is cold. When going outdoors, riding gloves can be used to improve the

grip on the hand rims.

 Do not modify your wheelchair in any way.

 To prevent injury and/or damage to your wheelchair, make sure that no objects and/or body

parts are caught in the spokes of the driving wheels.

Be aware that your wheelchair may interfere with some types of anti-theft systems, depending on

the settings used. This may cause the shop's alarm to go off.

Before use

2.4 Transport

2.4.1 Moving out of the way

The best way to move the wheelchair is to make use of the wheels and roll the wheelchair.

If this is not possible (e.g. when the rear wheels are taken off for transportation in a car), firmly

grasp the frame on the front and rear. Do not use the footrests or the wheels to grasp the

wheelchair.

2.4.2 Transport by vehicle, as luggage

Risk of injuries

Do NOT use your wheelchair as seat in a vehicle, see the symbol.

Never use the same safety belt for passenger and wheelchair.

1. Fold the wheelchair to its most compact size according to the instructions in § 2.5.

2. Store the wheelchair and its wheels in the luggage compartment or behind the passenger seat.

If luggage and passenger compartments are NOT separated or enclosed, fasten the

wheelchair frame securely to the vehicle.

2.5 Assembling / Disassembling the wheelchair

Risk of injuries

Keep fingers away from moving parts of the wheelchair.

To fold the wheelchair:

1. Use the central brake to stop the wheelchair from moving,

see §3.1.

2. Pull the red lever under the front of the seat (1). The lever

can be reached through the opening in the leg rest

upholstery, or by folding up the leg rest upholstery.

3. Lift the front of the seat up and pull the seat as a whole

forward. You can now remove the seat from the frame.

4. Pull parts (2) upwards on both sides until the upper frame

is unlocked.

5. Push the push bar (3) to the front to fold the frame.

6. Let the frame rest on the rear wheels and frame tube. Now the

frame can be folded completely.

7. Turn the push bar downwards, see §3.2.9.

8. If necessary, take off accessories from the seat and fold the

backrest down (4).

WARNING

CAUTION

Before use

To unfold the wheelchair:

1. Grasp the push bar (3) and move it upwards to unfold the frame.

2. Turn the frame so the front and rear wheels can rest on the ground.

3. Move the push bar backwards to unfold the frame completely.

4. Check that parts (2) click over the lower frame tube and the frame is firmly secured.

5. Turn the push bar in the desired position, see §3.2.9.

6. Take the seat and unfold the backrest if necessary.

7. Install the rear of the seat first*: the two metal hooks must be placed over the lower frame

rod that is furthest away from the front of the seat.

8. When the rear of the seat has been placed correctly, the front can be easily locked by

pushing down. A click will be heard.

9. Make sure that the seat has been attached properly to the lower frame.

10. Adjust the seat for the comfort of your child and install any accessories that had been

removed for transport (see §3.2).

*The seat of Gemini 2 can be installed with your child facing forwards or facing towards you as

you push. The same instructions apply for both options.

It is also possible not to remove the seat and fold the Gemini 2. Be aware that you should first

remove all the accessories and supports before completely folding the backrest to the front.

2.6 Storage

Make sure that your wheelchair is stored in a dry environment to prevent mould from

growing and the upholstery from being damaged, see also chapter 5.

Risk of injuries and/or damage



First read previous chapters and inform yourself about the intended use. Do NOT use your

wheelchair unless you have read and fully understood all instructions.

 In case of doubts or questions, do not hesitate to contact your local specialist dealer,

your care

provider or technical adviser to help you with this.



Make sure that your hands, clothes, belts, buckles or jewellery don’t get caught by wheels or

other moving parts, during use or adjustment.

3.1 Operating the brakes

Risk of injury

 The brakes are not used to slow down the wheelchair during movements. Use the brake only

to prevent the wheelchair from unintended movements.

 Good operation of the brakes is influenced by wear and contamination of the tires (water, oil,

mud, …). Check the condition of the tires before each use.

 The brakes are adjustable and can wear. Check the operation of the brakes before each use.

 Make sure the wheelchair is on a flat horizontal surface before releasing the brakes. Never

release both brakes simultaneously.

Gemini 2 brakes are operated by one central brake lever:

 Push the central brake in direction (1) to activate the

brake.

 By pushing the central brake in direction (2), the brake

will be released.

3.2 Comfort adjustments

Risk of injury and/or damage

Make sure that all adjustments are firmly secured before using the wheelchair.

3.2.1 Seat inclination

2. Press down on/lift the front of the seat until the desired

inclination.
