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.

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.

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

OPERATION
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.
1. Position yourself in the seat.
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).
6. Position both feet securely on the foot-
rest 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.
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.

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

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.

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 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 trans-
mitter. 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.

• 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.

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.
