Manual Operation
In case the step fails, it is possible to operate the
step by hand. This is done by the following
procedure:
1.
Put a large screw-driver through the
long hole in the bottom cover in the slot in the
motor base plate.
2.
Twist the screwdriver counterclockwise.
This will unlock the driving mechanism. Now the
step can be moved in or out by hand.
3.
After moving the step in or out return the
screw-driver in the slot to re-lock the step in the
in or out position.
8 Mounting / Installation
The installation can only be done by a company that is well known with bodybuilding or modifying
vehicles, which has the trained technical staff to do this job.
8.1
Mechanical Installation
For mounting the step you do not need to make any large vehicle adaptations. The step is placed under
the floor in the middle of the front, middle or rear door.
Chassis modifications are not needed.
Warning: Changing the vehicle chassis affects the strength of the vehicle. This kind of changes
is only allowed after approval of the vehicle builder / constructor. You need to consult the vehicle
builder for these kinds of changes. Acdeos cannot be made responsible or held accountable for
any vehicle / chassis changes.
Exact measurements of the product should be taken from the official installation drawings. Ask Acdeos
for the last revision and official installation drawing. Figures, drawings in this manual are only for
indication.
Installation:
Create a safe working condition. Lift the vehicle to the appropriate working height.
Define the place where you want to mount the step under the vehicle. Make sure the cassette can be
mounted on the required position without colliding with the chassis or other vehicle parts.
Make sure
that the step is not to close to hot parts like the exhaust system. This can damage the step.
The picture below gives the basic principles for mounting the step.
Define the place for the 4 mounting bolts on the front. The holes for this fixation should be drilled in the
lower flange of the outer chassis bar of the vehicle. Drill the holes ø6.5 mm. Always protect all drilled
holes with zinc spray. Make sure there is enough material in the flange under the hole. Place the step
with two bolts at the flange and support it at the rear.
