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 stairway elevator.

• Always be aware of the surface onto which you are stepping as you get on and off the

stairway elevator.

• Avoid carrying items with you on the stairway elevator which could hinder movement of the elevator up and down the stairs.

• Do not wear LOOSE clothing that could interfere with elevator movement.

• Fasten your positioning belt before operating the stairway elevator.

• 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

stairway elevator.

5

FOR YOUR SAFETY

Each stairway elevator 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-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 unplug the charger from the wall outlet to conserve battery charge.

CIRCUIT BREAKER

The SRE-2010 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 stairway elevator carriage.

It is unlikely that this circuit breaker will trip during normal use. However, if the elevator 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 stairway elevator.

8

SEATING

The seat assembly on the SRE-2010 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.

9

OPERATION

1. Position yourself in the seat.

The SRE-2010 includes a “soft-start” feature which prevents the unit from moving abruptly the instant the UP/DOWN switch is pressed.

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

2. Fasten the positioning belt.

3. Raise and hold the seat swivel lever.

4. Rotate the seat so that you are at right angles to the rail (with your back to the stairway wall).

5. Release the seat swivel lever to secure the seat in that position.

A safety switch prevents operation of the SRE-2010 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.

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

7. Press and hold the rocker switch (located on the front edge of one of the armrests) to travel UP / DOWN the rail.

10

OPERATION

Two (2) remote call / send transmitters enable you to move the carriage to or from either end of the stair rail.

8. Once you have reached the top or bottom landing, release the rocker switch.

9. Raise and hold the seat swivel lever as you rotate to the position for transferring from the seat.

10. Release the seat swivel lever and allow the seat to lock in this position.

11. Unbuckle the positioning belt and

carefully exit the seat.

11

OPERATION

Optional Mid-Park Position

The mid-park is available as an option. This feature will let you park and charge the unit at a position between the two ends of the rail. This allows for more room at the top and bottom of the stairs.

1. Push either the seat rocker switch or the

remote call/send to move the stairway elevator up or down the rail.

NOTE: The seat will always stop and beep

once when it reaches the mid-park position.

2. To resume travel to the end of the rail (top

or bottom), release the switch (or remote button).

3. Press again and hold until the unit arrives

at the top or bottom of the rail.

NOTE: The seat will again stop and beep once

to indicate end of travel.

CHARGING

Keep the batteries charged to ensure optimal operation of

your SRE-2010.

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

The yellow LED light on the upper and lower end caps glows when the carriage is correctly parked against the 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

9V battery

Your 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.

• Always park the carriage at one end of the rail so

that the batteries charge when the elevator is not in use.

• Keep the battery charger plugged into a live outlet at all times.

• At least once a year, have the elevator exam- ined, 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 transmitter. One 9V battery required.

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?

• 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.

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 elevator 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.

19

VACATION AND LONG-TERM STORAGE

If the SRE-2010 will remain unused for an extended period of time, turn off the circuit

breaker, then unplug the battery charger from the wall outlet.

NOTE: The batteries may require recharging before normal use if the stairway elevator

remained unused for an extended period of time.

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.
