If the step fails to operate:
• Verify that the step switch is ON.
• Check the main power supply for the step, a 25 Amp fuse is located in
the front distribution panel.
• 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.
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.
Lubrication maintenance is essential to keep the step operating smoothly and
reliably. Thoroughly clean the step before performing lube maintenance. This may
require using a stiff nylon bristle-brush and automotive detergent. Allow the step
to thoroughly dry. Use Kwik Lube Spray Lubricant or equivalent every 30 days on
all pivot points, rotating linkages and slide mechanisms.
CAUTION: Keep fingers, clothing and other hardware away from
moving components.
• Apply lubricant to all points in illustration.
• Operate the step several times to allow lubricant to penetrate surfaces.
Repeat lubricant application.
• Extend step and clean excess lubricant to reduce road grime
accumulation.
NOTE: Clean and lubricate steps more frequently in adverse weather
conditions. Mud, snow, road salts and sand quickly breaks down
lubricants and corrodes painted surfaces.
NOTE: Silicone lubricants and WD-40 are not recommended as they
evaporate and are not weather resistant. Moving components are then
susceptible to the elements.
