ENTRY STEP
Operation
The exterior electric entry
step features retractable
steps, automatic retraction
with the ignition key in the
RUN position and a last out
feature. The bar light indicates
the circuit is active when
illuminated.
NOTE:
When dry camping and the switch is
illuminated, all step circuits are active
and drawing current from the chassis
battery.
Operating the Entry Step:
1. With the entry door open, turn the step
switch on.
2. Close the door. The step should retract
and lock in the IN position.
3. Open the door. The step should extend
and lock in the OUT position. The step
will retract when the door is closed.
4. When the switch is turned off, the step
should remain in the extended position.
Close the door and turn on the ignition
switch. The step will retract for travel.
5. With the power switch off, the step
extended, the entry door closed and the
ignition turned on, the ignition override
system will engage to automatically
retract the step.
6. Turn the ignition off and open the door.
The step will extend and lock in the
OUT position. This is the “last out”
feature. When the ignition is on the
step will always activate with door
movement, regardless of the power
switch position.
CAUTION:
High curbs can impede step operation.
Use care when parked on side streets.
CAUTION:
Ensure the exterior step is fully
extended before exiting or entering the
motorhome.
If the step fails to operate:
Verify that the step switch is ON.
A magnetic door jam switch is used to
control step operation. Use a separate
magnet to apply a “trigger” to the door
jam switch. Rotate test magnet to align
polarity field.
Check entry step fuse in front electrical bay.
WARNING:
If the motorhome is driven with the
step in the extended position there is the
possibility of causing major damage to
both the step and the motorhome.
CAUTION:
If the Step Out warning indicator lamp
illuminates while the motorhome is in
motion, the entry step is either partially
or fully extended. Repair the step as
soon as possible to avoid serious damage
to the entry step or motorhome.

lighting.
Cover:
An electrically operated stepwell cover will extend
and retract using the switch on the dash console.
To operate the Stepwell Cover:
1. Turn ON the Battery Cut-Off switch.
