Periodic maintenance / Inspection
6.1
Cleaning
To prevent severe damage to the step, the step must be cleaned thoroughly in the normal
cleaning schedule of the vehicle, depending on the use of the vehicle and the filthiness of the
operation. Therefore, especially in wintery situations when salt is being sprinkled on the road,
it should be cleaned more regularly. Normal non-aggressive cleaning materials, as used for
cleaning the other parts of the vehicle, should be used.
it is not recommended to use high-pressure water cleaners.
Do not use aggressive solvents; these could affect the paint, rubber and glue used on the step.

Periodic maintenance / Inspection
6.2.1
Small maintenance
This product is very low maintenance. This means that it is not necessary to grease any of the
moving parts on a monthly basis, apart from the yearly maintenance.
6.2.2
Regular inspection
Following the vehicle inspection schedule, check following points:
1.
MOUNTING
–
Check that all the mounting bolts are in place and tightened.
2.
MOUNTING
–
Bring the step out and have 2 people (Max 200kgs) step on it. Check
whether the mounting of the step is strong enough for this weight. The construction of the
step means that with a weight of 200 Kg the step will give slightly - this is normal !!
3.
ELECTRICAL INSTALLATION
–
Move the step in and out electrically.
Check for unusual noises or uneven movement whilst the step is moving.
Check that the step stops automatically at the end of the stroke.
Step in = LED off
