INSTALLATION
[ ]
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 specified Bruno Stairway Elevators are shipped from the factory in the
left-side configuration.
Conversion to right-side installation is easy (instructions included later in this manual ).
[ ]
Identify and locate lower rail section appropriate to the installation (left or right).

FITTING THE RAIL
[ ]
Determine the correct length for the rail by measuring along a straight line placed on the
stairs. (SEE STEP 2 IN THE APPLICATION GUIDE) To that amount, add Measurement B
(STEP 4 IN THE APPLICATION GUIDE). This process will allow you to custom fit the
Elevator to your customer by determining the most comfortable seat-to-floor 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
floor 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.
REMINDER:
This rail must be installed 1/2" to 1" above stair nosing. Otherwise, footrest will hit the steps,
causing intermittent operation.
