Maintenance and Lubrication
Clean all mud, salt and road grime from the step before lubricating. Lubricate all moving parts
(bearings, pivot points, slides, clevis pin and drive linkage ball) every 30 days with a good quality
moisture and heat resistant penetrating grease. KwikLube™ Spray Grease is specially formulated to
lubricate Kwikee Electric Steps and is recommended for lubricating all moving parts. Refer to the
figures below for lubrication locations.
NOTE: Silicone lubricants and WD-40 are not recommended as they have a tendency to
evaporate and dry the mating surfaces which leave them vulnerable to the
elements.

1. Fig. 7-4 & 7-6 - square shaft
bearing - lubricate around the
outside and under the head of
the bearing.
2. Fig. 7-7 - on step models
equipped with a plastic cover,
this cover will have to be
removed to lubricate the center
bearings. Lubricate the
bearings under the cover every
ninety (90) days.
3. Fig. 7-7 - lubricate around the
bushing in bushings.
4. Maintain clean, dry electrical
connections at the two-way and
four-way connectors and any
butt connections leading from
the four-connector to the
vehicle. A small dab of
di-electric grease at the
connections and replacing
corroded butt connections with
heat shrink type crimp style
automotive connectors will
help maintain a good electrical
source for the step.
