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.
INSTALLATION Cutting the rail and installing the lower bumper (con’t.) 1. B E SURE TO WEAR PROTECTIVE GLOVES AND EYEWEAR. During the cutting process, sparks will fly and the metal rail will become very hot. flat side of rail to saw bed 2. P lace flat side of the rail on the saw bed. Carefully align the saw to the line marking the desired finished length of the rail. 3. F or a precise and efficient cut, Bruno recommends the use of a chop saw*.
INSTALLATION Placing the rail clamps and rail sections 1. P lace rail clamps on the stairs in the following pattern (LONGER-footed clamp to the outside).
INSTALLATION 4. Place the upper section of the rail in the clamps placed in Step 1. When the rail is inserted between the clamp halves, it will rest on the clamp spacer (see illustration, previous page). 5. Slightly loosen the (3) M8 hex head screws and the (2) M6 Allen head screws securing the joint plate to the rail. This makes it easier to align the screws and the holes on the mating rail section. slightly loosen x5 6.
INSTALLATION IMPORTANT NOTES 1- The rail must rest approximately 1-1/4 inches (32 mm) 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). 1/ 4” step nose to bottom of rail = 1-1/4” (32 mm) Rail-to-step nose distance must INCREASE TO 1.5” (38 mm) if extended footrest assembly is used.
INSTALLATION 11. T ighten the clamp hardware enough to render the upper rail immobile. Do not fully tighten at this time. 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. 12. O nce the rail sections are installed, tighten the clamps. 13.
INSTALLATION Bruno ships this stairway elevator with fasteners appropriate for WOODEN STAIR TREADS ONLY. Installation of the Stairway Elevator on surfaces made of materials other than wood may require different fasteners specific to the material. If you are unsure as to which fastener applies to the installation, please contact the Bruno Technical Service Department.
INSTALLATION Routing the cable routing the cable 1. O nce the clamps are in place, and secure, and after verifying that the rail bottom is at least 1-1/4” (32 mm) 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). 2. D etermine 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.
INSTALLATION Circuit breaker The ON/OFF switch is built into the circuit breaker and is provided to protect the battery, controller and motor circuits in the stairway elevator carriage. It is unlikely that this circuit breaker will 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.
INSTALLATION Adjusting the carriage angle 1. U sing the remote, verify that the carriage travels smoothly down and back up the rail. 2. W hen the carriage is at the top of the stairs, check that it is level. Use a builder’s or protractor level. 3.
