If in extreme weather conditions
and lubrication is deemed
necessary a silicon based grease or
spray can be used on the bushings.
INSPECTION:
Clean and inspect step
more frequently in adverse
weather conditions. Mud,
snow, road salts and sand
could quickly break down
lubricant and corrode
painted surfaces.
WARNING:
Step repairs should be
performed by a qualified
technician. Failure of the
step to extend can result in
serious injuries.
Electric Stepwell Cover
The motor home may be
equipped with a electrically
operated stepwell cover. The
stepwell cover closes off the
stepwell area when traveling.
When the cover is extended, it
provides a oor surface.
Stepwell Cover Operation:
1. The stepwell
cover control
is located on
the passenger
side of the
overhead.
2. To extend the
cover, move
the control
switch forward.
3. To retract the cover,
move the control switch
rearward.
4. The stepwell cover cannot
be pushed in manually
to retract. To retract the
cover manually:
Remove the clevis on the
bottom of the stepwell.
This process is slightly
difcult and is best
performed by an authorized
dealer.
CAUTION:
When operating the
stepwell cover, make sure
there are no pets, shoes
or other obstructions in
the stepwell area. Do not
operate the stepwell cover
while standing in the
stepwell area.
Stepwell Storage (If Equipped)
The interior stepwell features a
storage compartment in the upper
step. This compartment is ideal
for storing items such as gloves
(for refueling), tire pressure gauge,
ashlights or outside slippers.
ENTRY
DOOR
The entry door incorporates
three separate seals to eliminate
wind noise during travel. The
door uses two separate locks
for safety and security: the door
handle and a dead bolt. The door
handle incorporates a primary and
secondary latching system used to
ensure secure and safe latching.
Adjustments can be made to help
maintain entry door performance.
Adjusting the Entry Door
Latch:
Determine which bolt
needs adjustment.
Slowly close
the entry door,
observing the
latch and strike
bolt alignment.
Do not attempt
to latch if the
alignment is off.
If the alignment
is correct,
allow the latch
to catch in the
rst (primary)
position only.
The latch should move to
the second position with
only slight pressure applied
to the entry door. Upper
and lower latches should
be evenly timed. Press on
the entry door to check for
further movement.
The entry handle should
operate with little effort to
open the entry door. Excess
pressure indicates the bolts
are set too far back.
With a box wrench or
socket, loosen the movable
strike bolt. Adjust in small
increments. Tighten the
bolt rmly after making
adjustments. Bolts should
have slight up and down
movement for vibration
control in travel.
Test the operation of the
dead bolt lock to ensure
proper functions.
Spray silicone on a 1"
sponge paint brush then
brush door gasket to
eliminate squeaks during
travel.
CAUTION:
When operating the entry
door, ensure the dead bolt
