SAFETY
FOR YOUR SAFETY
• Read and understand the operating instructions, and all safety precautions prior to
using the SRE-2010.
• Be sure stairs are clear of objects before operating the stairlift.
• Always be aware of the surface onto which you are stepping as you get on and off the
stairlift.
• Avoid carrying items with you on the stairlift which could hinder movement of the
stairlift up and down the stairs.
• Do not wear LOOSE clothing that could interfere with stairlift movement.
• Fasten your positioning belt before operating the stairlift.
• Make sure the seat is locked in the correct riding position.
• Be sure that the seat swivel path is clear before swiveling in or out of the ride position,
and before repositioning the seat.
• Be certain the seat swivel is locked in place before attempting to get on or off the
stairlift.
• Make certain that there are no obstacles that would prevent complete raising/lowering
of the optional power footrest (if unit is so equipped).
• NON-AMBULATORY USERS: Bruno recommends carrying a cellular or cordless
telephone or an emergency communication device when riding the stairlift while alone
in the house.
Each stairlift is designed to travel down the stairway at a slightly slower speed than is
the case when travelling UP.
The footrest is equipped with obstruction sensors which stop the carriage if an obstacle
is encountered on the stairs.
If this should occur, press the opposite side of the UP/DOWN rocker control switch (on
the armrest) to run the carriage in the opposite direction. Clear the obstacle from the
stairway or rail then resume travel in the desired direction.
Your SRE-2010 is battery powered and will continue to operate for some time during a
power outage. The length of operation will depend on the battery condition, the length of
the stairs and the weight of the rider.
Only in the event of a prolonged power outage (more than one hour) will it be necessary
to turn the power off (circuit breaker switch on the carriage) and turn off or unplug the
charger from the wall outlet to conserve battery charge.
The power swivel seat option is equipped with current overload sensing to prevent
further seat swivel if a jam is detected.
The power footrest option is equipped with current overload sensing that will cause
the footrest to return to its last position if a jam is detected.
The power folding rail option is equipped with current overload sensing to prevent
damage if an obstruction or jam is detected.

CIRCUIT BREAKER and SEATING
The SRE-2010 includes a circuit breaker
with a built-in ON/OFF switch located on
the back side of the carriage.
The circuit breaker protects the battery,
controller and motor circuits in the stairlift
carriage.
It is unlikely that this circuit breaker will trip
during normal use. However, if the stairlift
becomes inoperative, check the circuit
breaker as a rst troubleshooting step. Reset
it, if necessary.
Possible causes of circuit breaker tripping:
• foreign object jamming the rail or gear
rack;
• exceeding the rated weight capacity of
the stairlift.
SEATING
seat swivel lever
(one on each armrest)

The seat assembly on the SRE-2010 is
designed to swivel 90 degrees (with standard
armrests), and to lock in one of the following
positions:
0, 60, and 90 degrees at the top,
and (optional) 45 degrees at the
bottom*.
Pull up on either the right- or left-side
swivel lever located under the seat to
swivel the seat to a convenient position for
transferring into or out of the seat.
Once you release the swivel lever, the seat
will lock in the closest of the three positions
indicated above.
To lower the seat assembly from a folded-up
position, simply push down on the seat
cushion to lower it to the riding position.
* If you have the power swivel option, the
seat will swivel from 0-90 degrees only
at the top of the stairway.

TRANSMITTERS and MAINTENANCE
TRANSMITTERS
The SRE-2010 hand-held transmitter may experience certain types of interference
caused by portable and mobile radio frequency (RF) communications equipment.
However, the SRE-2010 uses infrared (IR) communications to minimize the possibility of
interference.
Also, receivers are mounted on both sides of the SRE-2010 carriage to minimize interference.
Should interference occur, the unit will stop. This feature has been integrated into the
SRE-2010 to ensure your safety.
The direct line between the transmitter to either of the (2) transmitters should be clear of
obstacles for optimal operation. It may be necessary to reposition the transmitters so that
they are aimed at the carriage.
To reduce the possibility of interference:
• While riding in the seat, ALWAYS operate the elevator using the rocker switch on the
armrest.
• Operating the SRE-2010 with a transmitter while riding in the seat can lead to signal
interference.
• DO NOT mount the transmitters behind an obstacle such as a rail post or around a
corner.
• DO NOT allow direct sunlight to shine on the receivers (blinding the receivers on the
carriage).
• DO replace transmitter batteries regularly.
• Depleted or nearly-depleted batteries alter the effective range of the transmitter.
• DO keep the transmitter and receiver lens free of dirt and debris.
• Use a non-abrasive cleaner suitable for glass or acrylic surfaces.
• Do not use polishes or cleaning products containing wax. These products will leave
a lm on the lens that will reduce the signal transmission range.
MAINTENANCE
The SRE-2010 is designed to provide many years of reliable service with minimal maintenance.
For best service life:
• Keep the rail channel clean and free of debris.
• Keep the battery charger plugged into a live outlet at all times.
• At least once a year, have the stairlift
examined, cleaned and lubricated by a
qualied, authorized Bruno service technician.
Transmitter Battery Replacement
To replace the batteries in the remote transmitters,remove
the access panel on the back of the transmitter.
Two AA alkaline batteries required.
Change batteries annually.

TROUBLESHOOTING
Your SRE-2010 is not operating correctly. What should you do?
Before calling your Bruno dealer, refer to the solutions listed below. This could save you
an unnecessary service call!
• Seat swivel. Is the seat locked in the riding position?
• Footrest. Is there an obstruction on the stairway that the footrest is contacting?
• Carriage safety panels. Is there an obstruction on the stairway that the carriage
safety panels are contacting?
• Battery charger. A discharged battery will cause the carriage to move more slowly
until the voltage drops to the point where the controller will shut
off. If this should occur, pause for a moment, then run the carriage
down to exit the seat.
Partially charged batteries will run the carriage down, but not up.
Contact your Bruno dealer to have the unit serviced.
Conrm that the charger is plugged into a live outlet and wait for
the batteries to charge. Red and green LED’s are illuminated.
Is the charger plugged into a functional outlet? Do not use outlets
which are controlled by a wall switch.
Is the RED power light on?
Has the main circuit breaker or the residence tripped? Has a fuse
blown in the electrical panel of the residence?
• Visual check. Do you notice anything about your stairlift that is different or out of
place?
If your SRE-2010 continues to function improperly or not at all after completing the
preceding checklist, contact an authorized Bruno dealer to perform all required service,
repair and maintenance operations.

VACATION AND LONG-TERM STORAGE
If the stairlift will remain unused for an
extended period of time, turn off the circuit
breaker (ON/OFF switch on the carriage),
turn off the battery charger power switch (if
equipped) and unplug the charger from the
wall outlet.
The batteries may require recharging
before normal use if the elevator
remained in the OFF position for an
extended period of time.
circuit breaker
(ON/OFF switch)
To recharge, turn on the circuit breaker,
reconnect the charger to the wall outlet,
and turn on the battery charger power
switch (if equipped). Then wait until the
charger LED’s indicate that the batteries
are fully recharged.
