Introduction
This manual provides instructions for installation of Kwikee® Electric Steps, which are equipped with a step
lockout switch, control unit and permanent magnet motor onto a motorized coach. This manual does not
apply and should not be used as a reference to previous versions of a Kwikee® Electric Step.
The control unit is a current sensor as well as a switching device. When the motor assembly moves the step
tread to its extended position, or stops moving because of an obstruction such as a curb or the binding of a
damaged or bent step frame, the motor draws a larger amount of current. The control unit senses the larger
current draw and shuts off the power to the motor.
Control units are equipped with an ignition override system. This system is designed so the vehicle will
not be driven with the step in the extended position. When the step is locked in the extended position,
the door closed, and the ignition is turned on, the ignition override system will engage and the step will
automatically retract.
The Auto Extend feature is another safety feature designed to extend the step when the door is opened for
the first time after the vehicle ignition is turned off, regardless of the position of the step switch.
