I learned the hard way why the video says to leave the bottom end cap on and remove the lift from the top. My stairlift was broken and s stuck at the bottom. While it could be manually moved by turning the motor, it would’ve taken forever to get it to the top of the stairs. I decided to try removing it from the bottom. It wasn’t an issue of space. There was enough room to remove the stairlift from the rail that way. What the video doesn’t explain is that the gear rack inside the rail comes in 6-inch segments. The only thing holding them in is the endcap. If you remove the bottom end cap, the moment you remove the chair lift all those little 6 inch steel pieces come tumbling out. Made quite a racket! It also removed a lot of weight from the rails. If you have a multi-segment rail, you will end up with no choice but to remove all those little steel pieces. So, feel free to remove the lift from the bottom, but I recommend putting some sturdy cardboard underneath so that as those pieces fall out they don’t damage your floor.

Thanks for your informative video. We are installing new flooring under the Bruno SRO 3000 and this video was very helpful. Now we just need to figure out where the gear strip that dropped out of the chair goes! 😂

Thanks for the video. I have to remove two from my mom's place.

Excellent job,

Super rad video I did my mom’s house had to remove it for new carpet. Your video is helpful but damn that chair is heavy took all I had to get it off then when I tried to move it, piece of plastic broke on the bottom even in the upright position Putting it back on. Is it going to be hard? I think I’ll bring my floor jack up from the garage to jack it up high enough to reset it. Damn my back hurts. Rad video😅😅

I am currently going through the "school of hard knocks" with moving one of these from one house to another. IMO, it's much easier to take it off the rail and lift it without the chair still attached. The chair makes it extremely awkward, out of balance and hard to get a grip on it. By itself it weighs 50 pounds. One screw takes the plastic cover off the front to expose the 2 large bolts holding the chair on and the electrical wire connection. Unplug the wire, take the bolts out and remove the chair. The factory has another looped wire connection on the wire to plug back into what was unplugged to bypass all the safety cut offs the chair has so you can use the remote to move it without the chair on it. Take out the last row of teeth in the gear track. This will make it stop before it fails off the end of the rail. You can then easily grab the motor and gear assembly to lift it off the rail with no chair on it. Also, once I do know why but the second time I don't know why, it completely lost all power and would do nothing, twice because a small 5 amp fuse blew on the circuit board. If you lose all power, look there.

Hello, The dismantling video was great. I am dismantling from a property to bring it back to my property to install. Current owner have 13stairs and mine is 11stairs. What I need to modify? Please advise. Thanks

Wondering video!! Can the rail/track be broken down further? I need to transport a14 step lift and I think I need to break it down into 2 pieces.

Thanks for the video I have reinstalled my used Bruno on the opposite side of the steps that it was installed, but the Bruno will go down, with remote but will not go up. seat switch will not work at all? Any suggestions for me appreciate it. Thank you.

Hello wondering if you provide support services for this chair lift?

Great video. How you operate the chair manually? My chair is stuck in the fold rail. I am trying to bring it upstairs manually.

Question, can the chair and motor portion be taken off at the bottom, or remove the bottom cap and take it off there ? Don't want to have to carry that heavy suckered down a flight of steps.

Helpful video except you didn't show how to detach the chair from the electric source. I pulled the black one off but for the life of me, I cannot get the red one off. Is their a trick??

Hi my question is can you break the rail down into two parts I see where it is like in two parts but I didn't see you reply to that above question

Thanks so much for this video. I just bought a used SRE 3000 series and installed it myself. The chair is only 6 months old. After the installation is completed, there is no power. The chair wouldn't do anything, no beeping as well. Do you know what the problem might be? Thank you for your advice!

Is installing Bruno opposite of uninstall

That is certainly not the correct way to remove this lift.
