be sure you have all
necessary parts and
tools.
TOOLS FOR INSTALLATION

INSTALLATION
Preparation for Installation
Refer to the rail/clamp chart (supplied) for the correct rail-to-step nosing position.
Note: The information on the installation drawing is intended as a guide for the
installer. Rail placement may vary according to conditions found at the
installation site.
Rails are numbered on the bottom side near the end of the rail. The number indicates
rail placement on the staircase. Box 1-Rail #1 is the first rail at the bottom of the stairs;
Box 2-Rail #2 is the next rail as you go up the stairs, and so on.
Remove the protective ends on each rail section as needed. The hardware securing
these ends are the joint bolts. DO NOT DISCARD.
Attach the lower rail end plate and charge bracket to the lower rail section before
placing the rail on the stairs. See photos below.
Do NOT attach the upper end plate or charge bracket at this time.

INSTALLATION
Clamp Placement and Rail Installation
1. Set the clamps on the steps, as indicated on the Application Drawing.
NOTES: a) The clamp with the longer foot faces the outside (chair side of rail).
b) The foot of the clamps placed on the curves faces inward, and the
rounded head of the clamp attaches to the outside of the rail.
c) Make sure the ridge of the clamp spacer is down (see page 13).
longer foot faces the outside curve clamp: foot to inside
and rounded head to top
2.Referring to the Application Guide, position clamps to ensure correct step nose
clearance.
Note: Before attaching the clamp to the rail, make sure the threaded end of the
bolt is pointing to the inside of the installation (away from the stairs), and
that the longer-footed clamps point toward the outside of the installation
(chair side of the rail).

CRE-2100 NRUL 08-16-2004
INSTALLATION
3. Take special note of the position of the foot and the rounded head of the
curve clamp:
foot faces inward
rounded head of clamp attaches to outside surface of rail
(see illustration on previous page).
4. Begin rail placement with the landing section.
Set the landing section on the staircase.
NOTE: Rail sections are numbered. Place rail no. 1 at the bottom of the
staircase. For spiral case installations, place the no. 1 rail at the
bottom of the stairs.
5. Position and attach the rail clamps to the lower rail assembly as shown on the
installation drawing.
NOTE: Rail clamps vary in size. Verify size and installation location on the
installation drawing.
6. Be sure to verify the step nose-to-rail dimension (measured perpendicular to
the rail bottom).
7. Install the lower rail section to the landing section using (2) M10 x 1.5 x 70 mm
hex head cap screws to join the rails.
NOTE: It may be necessary to install a screw
into one of the rear holes on the clamp
assembly to prevent the rail from sliding.
12©2004,1998 Bruno Independent Living Aids, Inc.® CRE-2100 NRUL 08-16-2004
INSTALLATION
8. Install the remaining lower section(s), if applicable, and add clamps as shown on the
installation drawing.
9. Install the upper rail section(s), adding clamp assemblies with each section.
NOTE: Do not install the end plate and charge bracket at this time.
10. Position the rail as close to the application drawing measurements as possible.
11. Secure the rail with one or two screws.
NOTE: You may need to shim the rail to ensure proper placement. For example,
if the rail is leaning forward, shim the front of the clamp until the unit
is level.
****VERY IMPORTANT****
The degree of slope of the rail is critical. To locate the degree at which each rail piece
should be installed, use the ELEVATION VIEW drawings specific to
your job and inserted in this manual. Place the angle finder on the guide strip on the front
of the rail to obtain the correct angle.
The correct angle should be observed within 1/2 degree, every (2) feet of linear rail travel.
Be sure to check the rail angle every
(2) feet of linear travel.

INSTALLATION
CLAMP SPACER INSTALLATION
Reminder: When positioning the clamps and mounting the rail on the clamps, make
sure a spacer is inserted between the clamp halves. The rail will
rest on the spacer.
Insert the hardware so that the nut is closest to the wall.
NOTE:
