INSTALLATION
OVERVIEW OF INSTALLATION
Installation of the SRE-1540 Electra-Ride™ Stairway Elevator consists of the following:
* Determine whether the elevator should be a left- or right-side installation. "Left" or "right"
installation is determined by the side of the stairway on which the rail is installed (viewed
from the bottom of the stairs). THE GEAR RACK WILL BE TOWARD THE CENTER OF
THE STAIRS. Unless specified otherwise, Bruno stairway elevators are set up for
left-side installation when shipped, but can easily be converted to right-side installation.
Instructions for converting the unit for right-hand installation are included later in this manual.
* Identify and locate lower rail section and bumper bracket assembly.
* Assemble and tighten the rail joint. CAUTION: RAILS CANNOT BE MIXED.
CHECK ID NUMBERS STAMPED AT ENDS OF RAILS.
* Determine the correct length for the rail (using Steps 2 and 4 from the APPLICATION
GUIDE), and cut the rail.
* Install lower bumper assembly.
* Position rail on left or right side of stairway using rail clamp assemblies.
* Install the call/send antenna.
* Manually mount the carriage on the upper rail.
* Adjust the carriage angle by loosening the four angle
adjustment bolts.
* Install seat assembly and make electrical connections.
* Secure the footrest.
* When installing a right-side SRE-1540, follow instructions for reversing operation.
* Remove one motor cover (right-side installation only). Reverse the motor leads and set
the two switches to reverse the direction of the SRE-1540.
* Perform a trial run of the SRE-1540 to determine final location of rail.

OVERVIEW OF INSTALLATION
* Determine the appropriate location for the remaining mounting clamps and
brackets for attaching the rail to the stairs then loosely assemble the clamps
and brackets to the rail.
INSTALLATION
OVERVIEW (CON'T.)
* Adjust and tighten the rail clamps and mounting brackets.
* Anchor the mounting brackets to the stairs.
* Locate and drill holes for the top bumper bracket.
* Install the top bumper bracket.
* Determine where the charger will be positioned, and install rail wire lead accordingly.
* Position battery charger at upper or lower landing.
* Route wire to household outlet.
* Mount remote call/send transmitters.
* Test unit for proper operation.
* Train customer in safe and convenient operation of the stairway elevator.
REMEMBER:
No installation is complete until the customer has been trained to use the stairway
elevator smoothly and safely. After demonstrating correct operation, have the customer
operate the unit several times while you are available to answer questions.
BE SURE THE CUSTOMER UNDERSTANDS ALL SAFETY ASPECTS OF USING
THE STAIRWAY ELEVATOR.
Patience and thoroughness in this phase of the installation are often rewarded with
repeat business and customer referrals.
