The step is easy and convenient to operate. Just inside the main door is a wall switch for the step.
When traveling, leave the switch in the "ON" position - the step will lower when the door is
opened and retract when the door is closed.
When parked, open the door so the step is lowered, then shut the switch off. The step will remain
in the lowered position and the "step" light on the dash will be extinguished. If left on it will run
your engine battery down in about a week.
If you forget and leave the switch off as you leave - No Problem! When the ignition is "ON" the
wall switch is by-passed and the step will retract when the door is closed.
WARNING: If the wall switch is turned off, and the step is in the retracted position when
the ignition is turned off, the step will not lower when the door is opened. Keep your
passengers informed.
STEP WELL COVER
Your motorhome is equipped with a pneumatically powered step well cover.
The switch (valve) is a black lever located in the front of the passenger right hand arm rest. The
air pressure is supplied by the chassis air ride system. It is normal for the air system to leak down
so you may find the cover to be inoperable if the engine has been shut off for a period of time.
The intent of the step cover is to provide the passenger with a "floor" while traveling and then be
retracted so the steps can be used when stopped. With this in mind you can see where the loss of
air after the motorhome has been shut off for a time is not a problem. When you park the
motorhome you'll normally retract the step cover so you can at least get out and stretch your legs.
If you happen to lose air pressure before retracting the step cover just starting the engine for a few
minutes will replenish the air supply.
WARNING: Do not operate the pneumatic cover while standing in the step well.
