PRE-INSTALLATION
SITE REVIEW AND PREPARATION
1. Visually check out site, making sure all
obstructions (i.e. windows, pipes, bulkheads,
newel posts, etc.) have been taken into
consideration.
2. If stairway is an “open” plan or stairs do not
adjoin a solid wall, access to the stairs must
be paneled off before installation may occur.
3. Determine if stairlift will be installed on the
right or left side of stairs, as viewed from
bottom of the stairs.
1. Determine exact rail length.
NOTE: The rail length will determine the
seat height at the top of the stairs.
Measure length of stairway by placing a tape
measure in a straight line on the stairs from
the top step nose to the floor.

PRE-INSTALLATION
RAI TTIN IDELINES
CAUTION
WEAR PROTECTIVE GLOVES
AND EYEWEAR WHEN CUTTING
OR HANDLING RAIL ENDS AND
INSERTING BRONZE CHARGE
STRIPS INTO CARRIER.
NEVER cut a rail shorter than 24" (610 mm).
Rails shorter than 24" (610 mm) do not have
room for the minimum two (2) rail brackets. |
NOTE: Folding rail assembly - NEVER
cut a folding rail assembly
shorter than 75" (1905mm).
In two rail installations, if cutting only one
rail would result in a length less than 24"
(610 mm), cut from both rails as follows:
a. Cut at least 12" (305 mm) off one rail.
b. Then, calculate the second rail’s length by
subtracting the length of the newly cut rail
from the required overall two-rail length —
(should be greater than 24"/610 mm).
Do not cut rail ends you plan to use for
- joining two sections together in order to
preserve the factory fit at the joint. —
For a precise and efficient cut, Bruno
recommends the use of a cut-off saw.
Equip cut-off saw (or other power saw)
with a metal-cutting blade suitable for
aluminum and steel.
SRE-3050 INSTALLATION 15mar2021
landing |
In multiple-rail installations, use a minimum
of two (2) rail mounts to support each rail
section.
In single-rail installations, use a minimum
of three (3) rail mounts to support rail.
[This is typically rail-run lengths of ten feet
(3 m) or less].
In folding rail installations, use a minimum
of two (2) rail mounts to support any mid-
rail section.
Do not include in this count, the fixed rail
bracket (first tread) at the folding joint.
No more than four (4) steps in a row
without a rail mount.
. If rail extends horizontally from stop
stepnose < 3" (76 mm), or diagonally
extends past top stepnose > 12" (305 mm),
one or more adjustable rail mount sets
(SRE-30150WG) are required.

Before cutting rail to length, remove
Charge strip carrier (Fig. 1). Set aside.
Then, cut rail to length required for
installation. (Rail Measurements to calculate. )
NOTE: 16' (488 cm) rail length is actually
189" (480 cm).
20‘ (601 cm) rail length is
actually 236" (599 cm).
Place flat side of rail on saw horses.
Draw a line at desired finished rail length.
Carefully align saw with marked cutting line.
Cut rail to length.
Once rail is cut, deburr cut end using a
metal file or other appropriate tool.
NOTE: Be sure to round edges that
might abrade wiring at rail end
routed to bumper.
Remove ALL metal shavings,
chips etc. by tipping rail with
open end down.
For folding rail installations: Keep shipping
brace on folding rail, maintaining a closed
position (Fig. 2). Next, insert slow
down strip into charge contact and
fasten with two (2) self-drilling hex
head screws. Then, feed charge lead
through the hole in the rail out the cut
end of the rail.
Now, skip to Joint Preparation.

With rail still on saw horses, slide charge
strip carrier into back side of rail (Fig. 3).
Inset carrier as noted in Fig. 3.
Attach charge contact to slow down
(communications) strip (Fig. 4).
Bend slow down strip tab (at opposite end
from charge contact) down slightly (Fig. 5).
Do not let tab touch rail!
At bottom end of rail, slide charge contact
assembly from Fig. 4 into back side of rail
(Fig. 6). Assembly will fit snugly against
charge strip carrier.
NOTE: Carrier may be longer than rail
at this point.

Torque to 22 ft-lb (30 Nm).
NOTE: Threaded hole in endplate goes

NOTE: DO NOT use an impact drill
to install these screws.
Using two (2) self-drilling hex head

2-1/2" (64mm) from stepnose on first step.
Rail position is approximately 4" (102mm)
from wall when measured from wall side of top
of rail [Fig. 1].
e Use four (4) screws to secure bracket in place
[Fig. 2].
e Remove block from bracket [Fig. 3].
e Loosely install block into primary bracket of
folding rail assembly using provided hardware.
[Fig. 4].
Place folding rail so block fits within special
folding rail bracket and loosely attach with
provided hardware. [Fig. 5].
Fig. 1 Fig. 2
If the floor has thick carpet, use Landing Pad,
SRE-30492WG [Fig. 6 & 7], provided within SRE-
K-3076. Install where rail would contact floor.
Stack End Plate (SRE-30055WG) and Wire Relief
Spacer (SRE-30324WG). Place beneath base of
folding rail [Fig. 8]. The two plates would be on
top of Landing Pad if used. “
Position remaining brackets. Maintain a gap
between bottom of rail and stair stepnose that is:
‘no carpet: 2” (51 mm) minimum
carpet: 2.5” (64 mm) minimum
Measure every step [Fig. 9].
Confirm rail is correct distance from wall from
top to bottom of staircase, then fasten brackets
to the step treads. |

14. Insert charge strips into rail.
Hold coil firmly to prevent uncoiling, and
carefully undo tape securing coil. Using tin snips,
cut a 45° bevel on end of charge contact
strips [Figs. 14 and 14a). Slide beveled end
of charge contact strip into charge contact
strip carrier. Cut off excess strip flush with
carrier. Repeat for second charge contact strip.
15. Clean both charge strips with a Scotch-Brite™
or similar scouring pad.
16. Install gear rack pieces.
Carefully* slide gear rack pieces into upper
rail until: ,
Fig. 14a (a) last piece extends beyond rail end
~ OR
(b) last piece is within 1/2” (13 mm) of rail end.
*Allowing gear rack pieces to “free fall”
and land hard will knock joint out of
adjustment.
e Maximum distance between last
tooth of uppermost gear rack piece
and rail end is 1-1/4” (32 mm).
e If last piece extends beyond rail end, cut
to length. Mark piece even with rail end,
Slide it out, subtract 1/2” (13 mm) and cut.
NOTE: After insertion, remove last gear
rack piece (or two) to facilitate
carriage installation!
17. Install carriage using instructions provided.

- Connect charge harness to charge contact
~and charger [Fig. 15].
- Stuff remaining harness into end of rail
[Fig. 16].
- Mount provided spacer endplate between
top of endplate and end of rail to prevent
damage to components [Fig. 17].
- See Fig. 18 for finished endplate example.
19. Charger at bottom of rail:
- Remove cover from folding rail box [Fig. 19].
- Feed charger harness through bottom
access hole [Figs. 20 and 21]. —
- Connect charger leads to battery
_ charger connection harness [Fig. 22].
- Reattach the box cover.
