Mechanical Components:
- Step: The main retractable platform, featuring a ribbed surface for grip.
- Rear Connection Bracket: Used to secure the rear part of the step to the vehicle's chassis.
- Front Connection Bracket: Used to secure the front part of the step to the vehicle's chassis.
- M5x32 Trapezoid Screw: A type of screw used for connections.
- Front and Rear Step Connection Bolt M6x16: Bolts used for securing the step to the brackets.
Dimensions for Drilling:
- Ø38mm punch: Required for drilling a hole for connections under the vehicle.
- Ø11mm hole: Required for mounting the door switch.
Usage Features
Automatic Operation: The step automatically extends when the door is opened and retracts when the door is closed, providing seamless operation.
Safety Features:
- Fuse Protection: Before installation, the fuse on the installation must be removed to prevent electrical issues. After installation, the fuse is replaced, and the step's operation is checked.
- Manual Override (New Feature): If the step is opened and does not close due to faults or other factors, it can be manually closed. This involves removing the U-clips of the feet below the step, allowing the step to be pushed back into the closed position. This is a crucial safety and convenience feature in case of malfunction.
Installation Process:
- Fuse Removal: Remove the fuse from the vehicle's electrical system before starting installation.
- Control Unit Installation: Install the wiring and control unit in the compartment under the front passenger seat.
- Under-Vehicle Connections: Make connections under the vehicle. If the vehicle does not have existing holes, a Ø38mm hole must be drilled.
- Switch Installation: Install the middle and front door switch connections. This involves drilling an Ø11mm hole for the switch mounting and then assembling it with a smart mounting screw.
- Mechanical Installation:
- Connect the front carrier foot using the vehicle's original chassis hole.
- Connect the rear carrier foot using the vehicle's original chassis hole.
- Ensure the front and rear carrier foot connections are securely completed as shown in the provided images.
- Final Control: After replacing the fuse, check the step's operation to ensure it extends and retracts correctly.
