FOR YOUR SAFETY

• Read and understand the operating instructions, and all safety precautions prior to
using the SRE-2010E.

• 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. Be especially careful of ice and snow!

• Remove any ice and snow from the cover and safety mechanisms (eg. footrest) as
soon as possible.

• 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 certain the seat swivel is locked in place before attempting to get on or off the
stairlift.

• Position the battery charger indoors.

• NON-AMBULATORY USERS: Bruno recommends carrying a cellular or cordless
telephone or an emergency communication device when riding the stairlift while alone.

FOR YOUR SAFETY

Each stairlift is designed to descend 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-2010E 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 unplug the charger from
the wall outlet to conserve battery charge.

CIRCUIT BREAKER

circuit breaker

The SRE-2010E includes an ON/OFF switch
with a built-in circuit breaker 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.

©BRUNO SRE-2010E Operator 04-02-2018

SEATING

The seat assembly on the SRE-2010E
is designed to swivel 90 degrees (with
standard armrests) to the left and to
the right, and to lock in one of the
following positions:

0, 60, and 90 degrees at the top,
and 45 degrees at the bottom.

UP/DOWN

rocker switch

Pull up on either the right- or left-side
swivel latch 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 weldment,
the seat will lock in the closest of the
three positions indicated above.

To lower the seat assembly from a

seat swivel

(one on each armrest)

folded-up position, simply push down
on the seat cushion to lower it to the
riding position.

OPERATION

1. Raise the canopy (if necessary).

The SRE-2010E includes a
“soft-start” feature which
prevents the unit from moving

2. Raise and hold the seat swivel lever.

3. Rotate the seat to the transfer position.

4. Lower the seat, footrest and armrests.

abruptly the instant the
UP/DOWN switch is pressed.

5. Position yourself in the seat.

6. Fasten the positioning belt.

Press and hold the switch for
a moment to begin the gentle
acceleration of the stairlift to
operating speed.

7. Using the seat swivel lever, rotate the seat to
the “riding” position (with your back to the
stairway wall).

A safety switch prevents operation of the
SRE-2010E unless the seat is locked in position
at right angles to the rail (the “riding” position).

Depressing and holding the
rocker switch will cause the
carriage to move until the
carriage stops automatically at
the upper or lower end of the
stair rail, or until the switch is
released.

©BRUNO SRE-2010E Operator 04-02-2018

8. Position both feet securely on the footrest
and place your arms on the armrest cushions.

9. Turn the armrest key switch to ON.

10. Press and hold the rocker switch (located

on the front edge of one of the armrests)
to travel UP / DOWN the rail.

11

OPERATION

Two (2) remote call / send

transmitters enable you

to move the carriage to or

from either end of the stair

rail.

DO NOT use the

call / send transmitters

to move the carriage

when a rider is on the

seat.

11. Once you have reached the top or

bottom landing, release the rocker switch.

12. Raise and hold the seat swivel lever as you

rotate to the position for transfer from the
seat.

13. Release the seat swivel lever and allow the

seat to lock in this position.

14. Unbuckle the positioning belt and carefully

exit the seat.

15. If the seat will not be used in the near future,

raise the seat, armrests and footrest.

16. Using the seat swivel lever, rotate the seat

to the “riding” position.

17. Lower the canopy.

CHARGING

Green LED glows when

unit is charging.

Keep the batteries charged to ensure optimal operation of

your SRE-2010E.

The batteries are charging whenever the carriage is parked
tightly against the brackets at either end of the rail. Whenever
the carriage does not contact the upper or lower charge bracket,
the batteries will slowly discharge.

Failure to keep the batteries charged, or allowing them to fully

discharge, will signicantly shorten the life of the batteries.

Therefore, when the stairlift is not in use, park the carriage at
either end of the rail, making sure it touches the charge bracket
contacts.

The green LED on the carriage (see left) conrms that the unit is
charging.

If your application prevents parking the carriage at one or the

other end of the stairs (for example, a door at the top of the

stairs), ALWAYS use the call/send transmitter to move the
carriage to the end of the rail where the carriage can contact the
charge bracket. Using the transmitter, call it back to the other
end of the stairs when needed.

MAINTENANCE

Your SRE-2010E 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.

• Always park the carriage at one end of the rail so
that the batteries charge when the stairlift is not
in use.

• 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 qualied, authorized

Bruno service technician.

Transmitter Battery Replacement

To replace the battery in the call/send transmitters,
remove the access panel on the back of the

9V battery

transmitter. One 9V battery required. Change
batteries annually.

17

TROUBLESHOOTING

Your SRE-2010E 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?

• Main circuit breaker (or fuse) panel of residence. Has a breaker tripped or a fuse

blown?

• 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 until the unit contacts the lower charge contact.

Partially charged batteries will run the carriage down, but not up.

Continued on next page.

©BRUNO SRE-2010E Operator 04-02-2018

18

TROUBLESHOOTING (CONTINUED)

• Battery charger (continued). Conrm that the charger is plugged into a live outlet

and wait for the batteries to charge.
Is the charger plugged into a functional outlet? Do not

use outlets which are controlled by a wall switch.
Is the power light on?

• Visual check. Do you notice anything about your stairlift that is different or out of

place?

If your SRE-2010E 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.

©BRUNO SRE-2010E Operator 04-02-2018

19

VACATION AND LONG-TERM STORAGE

If the SRE-2010E will remain unused for an extended period of time:

• turn off the circuit breaker (ON/OFF switch) located on the stairlift carriage;

• remove all keys (remotes, armrest keyswitch) and store in a safe location;

• have the batteries removed and stored according to battery manufacturer’s instructions;

• turn off the battery charger power switch, unplug it from the wall outlet and store indoors;

• lower the canopy.

To put the SRE-2010E back into service:

• have the batteries reinstalled in the SRE-2010E;

• raise the canopy;

• clean dirt and moisture from the seat and carriage;

• have a fresh coat of grease applied to the gear rack;

• insert the keys in the armrest keyswitch and remotes;

• turn on the circuit breaker (ON/OFF switch) located on the stairlift carriage;

• reconnect the battery charger to an AC outlet and turn on the charger;

• run the SRE-2010E up and down the rail several times to verify correct operation.

NOTE: The batteries may require recharging before normal use if the stairlift remained unused

for an extended period of time.

circuit breaker

To recharge, simply turn on the circuit breaker, reconnect the charger to the wall outlet
and wait until the charger LED’s indicate that the batteries are fully recharged.
