MAINTENANCE
It is important to perform regular maintenance of your Bruno Folding Power Chair for longevity and
warranty eligibility. Even a little cleaning now and again will go a long way to keep your device
looking and functioning like new.
Certified repair shops with trained professionals who specialize in electric wheelchairs and scooters
will be qualified to perform the service and maintenance on your Bruno Folding Power Chair should
the technician require parts, they should contact Top Gun Mobility to check availability.
We recommend you inspect your Bruno Folding Power Chair two or three times per year, paying
particular attention to the following areas:
1) Frame: Tighten loose screws as necessary using the tool kit included with your Bruno Fold
Power Wheelchair
2) Wheels: Make sure they rotate easily. Significant resistance may require new bearings
3) Armrest: Look for excessive wear or if they are loose
Replacement parts and more major maintenance issues should be performed by an authorised
professional.
Batteries
Use batteries that have been supplied by Top Gun Mobility only; our batteries are special lithium
batteries designed specifically for use in the Bruno Fold Power Wheelchair.
Read all battery instructions before attempting to change or charge batteries.
When you haven’t driven the Bruno Folding Power Chair for a long time, please charge the battery
every month to avoid the battery “hungry die”.
Fasteners
Many of the screws, bolts and nuts on the Bruno are special high-strength fasteners. Replacing these
fasteners with non-approved parts may cause your Bruno Folding Power Chair to result in faulty
operation and may cause harm to you or other people, therefore:
1. Use fasteners that have been supplied by Top Gun Mobility.
2. Using the tools included with your Bruno Fold Power Wheelchair, tighten any fasteners that
become loose as soon as possible.
Change and Adjustments
Never use non Bruno Folding Power Chair parts or make changes to your Bruno Folding Power Chair
unless authorized in writing by representative from our company. Doing so will void the warranty
and may create a safety hazard.

Powered vehicles such as the Bruno Folding Power Chair may be susceptible to electromagnetic
interference, which is interfering electromagnetic energy emitted from sources such as radio station,
TV station, amateur radio transmitters, two-way radios, and mobile phones.
The interference (from radio wave sources) can cause the Bruno Folding Power Chair to release its
brakes, move by itself, or move in unintended directions.
