INSTALLATION
Necessary Tools

7©2009,1996 BRUNO INDEPENDENT LIVING AIDS, INC.®
SRE-1550 02-09-2009
1. Determine whether a left- or right-side
installation is appropriate for the site. "Left"
or "right" refers to the side of the stairway on
which the rail is installed (as viewed from the
bottom of the stairs).
Unless otherwise specied Bruno Stairway
Elevators are shipped from the factory in the
left-side conguration.
Conversion to right-side installation is easy
(instructions included later in this manual).
2. Identify and locate lower rail section appropriate
to the installation (left or right).
LOWER BUMPER BRACKET INSTALLATION
1. Assemble the bumper bracket to the lower
rail.
FITTING THE RAIL
1. Determine the correct length for the rail by
measuring along a straight line placed on
the stairs. (SEE STEP 2 IN THE APPLICATION
GUIDE, next page) To that amount, add
Measurement B (STEP 4 IN THE APPLICATION
GUIDE). This process will allow you to custom
t the elevator to your customer by determining
the most comfortable seat-to-oor height within
the space available at the top of the stairs.
NOTE: The rail must rest approximately 1/2"
to 1" above nosing of the steps and
extend from the lower oor to a point
beyond the nosing of the top step (see
Application Guide Step 4).
In some cases where the bottom
landing is made of material such as
concrete, ceramic tile or slate, the last
bracket on the landing may be omitted
with a bracket added on the second step
from the bottom and top of stairway.
bumper bracket
INSTALLATION
ASSEMBLY
Residential and Commercial Units
This rail must be
installed 1/2" to 1"
above stair nosing.
Otherwise, footrest will
hit the steps, causing
intermittent operation.

IMPORTANT NOTE!
Under no circumstances should a rail
section be cut shorter than 18” (46 cm).
There must be at least (2) clamps on a short
rail section (one at the rail joint and one at
the rail end). Cutting a rail shorter than 18”
(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. From your (2) 8-foot
sections you decide to use (1)
8-foot section and cut the remaining one foot
from the second 8-foot section.
Doing this could yield a rail piece with
insufcient weld.
Instead, Bruno recommends cutting at least
one foot off one of the 8-foot sections (leav-
ing 7 feet of rail) and then cutting two 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).
INSTALLATION
CUTTING THE RAIL-Residential and Commercial Units
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.
1. Use a metal-cutting power saw or manual hacksaw
to cut the rail to length.
Cut off the end of the rail to be located
at the top of the stairway.
2. Use a le or other appropriate tool to deburr the cut
end of the rail. Soften any sharp edges which might
abrade the insulation of the wiring to be routed to
the bumper at the end of the rail.
3. Use a C-clamp to hold the upper bumper bracket in
place in the cut end of the rail.
4. Use the holes in the bumper bracket as guides to
drill mounting holes. Use an O-size (8.03 mm/.316")
drill bit in the rail.
USE “O” SIZE DRILL
BIT (8.03mm/.316")
