Fitting the rail
1. Determine whether the stairway elevator will be installed on the right or left side of the stairs, as viewed from the bottom of the stairs.
NOTE: Unless otherwise specified, Bruno Stairway Elevators are shipped from the
If you wish to convert to right-side
installation, please refer to the instructions appearing later in this manual.
2. Determine the exact rail length by placing a tape measure in a straight line on the stairs (see STEP 2 in the APPLICATION GUIDE). To this number, add Measurement B (see STEP 4 in the APPLICATION GUIDE).
NOTE: If the unit is equipped with an overspeed brake, add 5 to the rail length.
This calculation will allow you to precisely fit the Stairway Elevator to your customer by determining the most comfortable seat-to-floor height within the space available at the top of the stairs.
3. Mark the length on the rail, as determined in the previous step.
NOTE: Be sure that excess length is cut off of the LOWER end of the rail.
4. After marking, and BEFORE cutting the rail, cut the cable channel back approx. 3 inches from the mark to avoid having to cut through the channel.

INSTALLATION
Cutting the rail and installing the lower bumper
IMPORTANT NOTE!
Under no circumstances should a rail section be cut shorter than
18 in. (46 cm).
There must be at least (2) clamps on a short rail section (1 at the rail
joint and 1 at the rail end). Cutting a rail shorter than 18 in. (46 cm)
would not allow enough room for the (2) necessary clamps.
Example:
After measuring the staircase, you determine you need 9 feet of rail. With your (2) 8-foot sections you decide to use (1) 8-foot section and cut the remaining (1) foot from the second 8-foot section. Doing this
could yield a rail piece with insufficient weld.
Instead, Bruno recommends cutting at least one foot off one of the 8-
foot sections (leaving 7 feet of rail) and then cutting 2 feet from the
second 8-foot section. You will have a (1) 7-foot section and (1) 2-foot
section, both of which are long enough to be properly mounted (2
clamps minimum per short rail).
NEVER CUT OFF THE JOINT END!
The M6 bolts securing the gear rack must remain intact.
Cut off the end with the pre-drilled charge contact mounting holes.
Then, using the provided template, redrill (2) holes on each end of the rail.

INSTALLATION
Cutting the rail and installing the lower bumper (cont.)
1. BE SURE TO WEAR PROTECTIVE GLOVES AND EYEWEAR. During the cutting process, sparks will fly and the metal rail will become very hot.
2. Place flat side of the rail on the saw bed. Carefully align the saw to the line marking the desired finished length of the rail.
flat side of rail to saw bed align saw with mark up and down motion
3. For a precise and efficient cut, Bruno recommends the use of a chop saw*. A down-up motion during the cutting process helps avoid overheating the saw motor.
*This chop saw (or other power saw) must be equipped with metal-cutting
blade suitable for aluminum and steel.
4. Once the rail is cut, deburr the cut end using a file or other appropriate tool. Soften any sharp edges which might abrade the insulation of the wiring routed to the bumper at the rail end.
5. Place the metal template (provided - see Box B of Carton 2) on rail as shown. Hold in place. Using a 1/8 in. bit, drill two pilot holes. Switch to a 5/16 in. bit and re-drill the (2) holes.

two at the bottom
two in the middle (one on each side of rail joint)
two at the top*
top landing first tread down from top landing* (NO CLAMP ON TOP STEP/LANDING FOR UNIT WITH STANDARD EXTENSION) closest tread above and below rail joint(s), then minimum of every third tread over the remainder of the staircase.
2. Mount the bottom rail section in between the clamp
halves. Tighten the hardware enough to render the rail immobile. Do not fully tighten at this time.
3. Once the bottom rail section is mounted in the clamp assemblies, rest the bottom of the rail against the step noses at a distance from the wall of approx. 6 in.
B LOCK CLAMP.
NOTE: Insert the hardware so that the nut is closest to the wall.
*A minimum of (1) clamp must be installed beneath the
B LOCK CLAMP (secured to the floor or step).
After the rail is installed, drill through rail (using holes in
top of B clamp as guides) with a 1/4 in. bit.
Install M6 hardware, with nut on wall side of rail
(see exploded view at rear of manual).

loosen x 5
This makes it easier to align the screws and the holes on the mating rail section.
6. Gently slide the upper rail section up or down the stairs until it mates with the lower section so that the mating ends fit flush.
7. From the kit provided, insert the (2) M6x1x45 mm Allen head and the (3) M8x1.25x16 mm hex head screws into the appropriate holes in the joint plate. DO NOT TIGHTEN.
If the M6 Allen head screws do not line up with the gear rack threads,
loosen all of the M5 set screws (two turns only)
to allow the gear rack to slide just slightly in the rail,
and permit alignment of the M6 screws and the gear rack threads.
8. Before tightening the hardware: check that the screw and rail/gear rack threads are properly engaged; make sure the rail sections are flush.
It may be helpful to apply a
small amount of silver anti-seize
material to the hardware threads
before inserting.
9. Order of tightening hardware is important! FIRST tighten the (4) M6 Allen head screws engaging the gear rack. Then tighten the (6) M6 hex head screws.

10. Slide the top and bottom clamps up or down on the rail until they are firmly seated on the step.
IMPORTANT NOTES
The rail must rest approximately 1-1/4 inches above the step nose of EVERY
step, and extend from the floor at the bottom of the stairs to a point beyond
the nose of the top step (see Application Guide Step 4).
It may be necessary to pound a scratch awl in one of the rear clamp mounting
holes to prevent the rail from sliding.

STEP NOSE TO BOTTOM OF RAIL = 1-1/4 IN.
Stair profiles do vary, so it is critical to ensure proper clearance between the step nose and the bottom of the rail.
Failure to install the rail at the specified 1-1/4 in. distance from the step nose will cause the footrest to contact to steps, thus provoking intermittent operation of the stairway elevator. If necessary, gently slide rail and clamps toward or away from the stair riser to adjust the clearance to the 1-1/4 in. recommanded distance.

As you tighten the
clamps around the rail
sections, regularly check
that the rail is vertical
or leaning backwards.
Rail section MUST be at a 90-degree angle to the stairs, OR leaning BACK slightly. The rail section must NEVER lean forward.
11. Tighten the clamp hardware enough to render the upper rail immobile. Do not fully tighten at this time.
12. Once the rail sections are installed, tighten the clamps. BEFORE mounting the carriage, check the straightness of the rail over all of the stairs by using a level, or a plomb line along the rail. If the rail bows or leans forward, insert shims or readjust the clamps.
13. Secure 2 or 3 of the rail clamps to the stairs. Secure the back half of the clamps first. The rail should be located 2-5/8 in. from the closest obstruction and the back of
the rail.

Routing the cable
Once the clamps are in place, and secure, and after verifying that the rail bottom is at least 1-1/4 in. from the bottom of the rail, and that the rail is straight, insert the power cable into the channel that runs along the back of the rail (side closest to the wall). Determine the location of the wall outlet. Start inserting the cable (i.e., pigtail of the charge harness) at the end (top or bottom) closest to that outlet. Be sure to position the battery charger at this end. When routing the cable around the joint plate, make sure that the cable rests snugly flat against the rail.

INSTALLATION
INFRARED CALL/SEND TRANSMITTER
The call/send system on the Bruno SRE-2000 is based on infrared (IR) controls, the same type of control used for televisions and stereos.
Like a television remote, the SRE-2000 hand-held transmitter may experience certain types of interference. Receivers are mounted on both sides of the SRE-2000 carriage to minimize interference.
Should interference occur, the unit will stop. This feature has been integrated into the SRE-2000 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-2000 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. 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 film on the lens that will reduce the signal transmission range.

INSTALLATION
CALL/SEND TRANSMITTER
The 9V battery is inserted upside down in the IR transmitter
when shipped from the Bruno factory. Prior to operating
the SRE-2000, the installer must remove the battery and
reinsert it so that the (+) and (-) poles are properly connected.
MOUNTING THE CALL/SEND TRANSMITTERS
TO THE WALL
Remember to mount the transmitters in locations which are out of the reach of children, yet always visible to the operator from the stairway elevator.
Step 4
Insert the longest screw provided in the mounting hardware kit (see illustration above left) through the top hole in the bracket and through the corresponding hole in the back of the transmitter. Tighten, without overtightening to avoid damaging the transmitter back.
NOTE:

INSTALLATION
Testing the Call/Send Transmitters
A slight delay will occur between the time the rocker switch is depressed and the initiation of carriage movement. This is normal and is a function of the soft start feature of the controller.
Run the unit up and down the stairs using the rocker switch on the carriage. The unit should operate in such a way that the arrow depressed on the rocker switch corresponds to the desired direction of travel.
The unit should travel noticeably faster going up than down.
Run the unit up and down the stairs using the remote call/send transmitters. Test both transmitters.
Push the seat into the stored position and run the unit up and down the stairs with the remote call/send transmitter.
With the seat in the central riding position, move the Elevator completely down and up the rail, while observing the elevator-to-wall clearance. A clearance of 1/2" to 1" is
acceptable. Repeat the run with the seat in the folded position. If necessary, adjust
the rail placement by sliding it closer to, or further from the wall. Verify proper operation of the following: speed, direction, final limit switch, footrest
safety switch, seat swivel safety switch, and remote call/send transmitter.
TRAIN THE CUSTOMER TO USE THE STAIRWAY ELEVATOR CORRECTLY AND SAFELY. BE SURE TO HAVE THE CUSTOMER OPERATE THE UNIT WHILE YOU ARE THERE TO ANSWER ANY QUESTIONS OR CONCERNS. REMIND THE CUSTOMER TO ALWAYS USE THE SEAT BELT.

CIRCUIT BREAKER
The on/off switch is built into the circuit breaker which is provided to protect the battery, controller and motor circuits in the Stairway Elevator carriage. It is unlikely that this circuit breaker will ever trip in normal use. However, should the Elevator fail to operate, check the circuit breaker as a first troubleshooting step, and reset it if necessary.
It is also recommended that you determine the reason that the breaker tripped, and correct the situation. Two most frequent causes of a tripped circuit breaker: (1) foreign object jamming the rail or gear rack and (2) exceeding the rated load capacity leading to circuit overload of the Elevator.

Mounting the Battery Charger
Position the charger in a suitable permanent location, near the end of the rail. Make sure that its placement will not create a tripping hazard. Connect the power cord to the nearest wall or floor outlet.
NOTE: THE CHARGER SHOULD BE PLUGGED INTO A HOUSEHOLD OUTLET ALL OF
THE TIME. THE ELEVATOR IS DESIGNED SO THAT THE BATTERIES WILL BE CHARGED WHEN THE CARRIAGE IS AT EITHER END OF THE RAIL. IT IS IMPERATIVE THAT THE CARRIAGE BE "PARKED" AT THE END OF THE RAIL WHEN IT IS NOT IN USE TO MAIN­TAIN FULL BATTERY CHARGE.
If the charger cannot be parked at one end of the rail (for example, on stairways with a door at the top), use the remote call/send transmitter to send the carriage to the other end. In this way, the carriage will properly engage the charging contacts, ensuring that the batteries will remain fully charged.

MAINTENANCE
GENERAL INFORMATION
If the batteries become discharged, the carriage will move more slowly until the voltage drops to a point where the controller will shut off. In this event, pause for a moment, then run the carriage "down" until it engages the charge contacts. (Partially charged batteries will run the carriage "down", but not "up".) Confirm that the charger is plugged into a "live" outlet and wait for the batteries to recharge.
Your Stairway Elevator s designed to give you many years of reliable service with minimal maintenance. To ensure the best service life, observe the following:
1. Keep the stair rail channel clean and free of debris.
2. Park the carriage at one end of the stair rail so that the batteries charge when not in use.
3. Keep the battery charger plugged into a "live" outlet.
4. Have a qualified service technician clean, check, and grease the unit at least once a year. Refer to the Installation Manual
for gear rack lubrication instructions.
VACATION/LONG-TERM STORAGE
If the Elevator will not be in use for an extended period of time the circuit breaker should be turned off. After the Elevator is turned off, the charger should be unplugged from the wall outlet.
DO NOT unplug the charger from the wall outlet without turning off the circuit breaker. This will result in battery discharge or premature battery failure.
TURNING THE UNIT BACK ON
[ ] To turn the unit back on, turn the circuit breaker on and plug the charger back into the wall outlet.
NOTE: The batteries may need to be recharged before normal use if the Elevator remained in the OFF position for an extended period of time. To do so, simply reconnect the charger to the wall outlet and make sure the circuit breaker is in the ON position

Bruno Independent Living Aids, Inc. (Bruno), warrants to the original purchaser of a Bruno Stairlift that the Bruno Stairlift is free from defects in material and workmanship for a period of two years from date of purchase. In addition, Bruno warrants that the motor, gear box and rail (the Major Components) will be free from defects in materials and workmanship for a period of five years from the date of purchase.
The exclusive remedy for a defect in a Bruno Stairlift shall be the repair or replacement, at the option of Bruno, of the defective part or component. After the first 30 days of this warranty, only parts and components are covered. This warranty does not cover labor and other services after the initial 30 days. If repair or replacement of a Bruno Stairlift is not commercially practical or cannot be timely made, Bruno may elect to refund the purchase price of the Bruno Stairlift instead of repairing or replacing the Bruno Stairlift.
IN NO EVENT SHALL BRUNO BE RESPONSIBLE FOR INDIRECT, INCIDENTAL OR CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES, WHETHER SUCH DAMAGES ARISE FROM CLAIMS BASED ON CONTRACT, WARRANTY, TORT (INCLUDING NEGLIGENCE), STRICT LIABILITY OR PRODUCT LIABILITY. Some states do not allow the exclusion or limitation of incidental or
consequential damages, so the above limitation or exclusion may not apply to you.
ALL IMPLIED WARRANTIES, INCLUDING ANY WARRANTY OF MERCHANTABILITY OR FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE, ARE LIMITED IN THEIR DURATION TO THE LENGTH OF THE WARRANTY STATED ABOVE FOR THE AFFECTED COMPONENT. Some
states do not allow limitations on how long an implied warranty lasts so the above limitation may not apply to you.

Bruno will pay for shipping back to the purchaser within the continental United States and Canada if a defect in material or workmanship is discovered. Return freight and repair charges will be the responsibility of the purchaser if the problem is not covered by warranty.
This warranty does not cover damage or failure caused by misuse, abuse, accidents, physical damage, modifications not made by Bruno, damage in shipment, or repairs undertaken by
anyone other than Bruno factory employees or authorized distributors. The original purchaser
of a Bruno Stairlift that is leased or rented shall be the person or entity acting as the lessee or rental provider.
This warranty gives you specific legal rights, and you may also have other rights which vary from state to state. Bruno specifically does not authorize any person to extend the time or scope of this warranty.
