pull straight out until step locks into place�
CAUTION
Once the steps are lowered, press down on them to
make sure they are secure in their notches. Never
travel with step lowered or extended.
Main Door
The main door of the trailer is manufactured with a
built-in, keyed dead bolt and door lock� The door lock is
engaged from the inside by a lever and the dead bolt is
engaged by turning the knob�
A main door hold-back is mounted on the trailer’s
exterior side skin� The hold-back secures the door to
the side of the trailer� When opening the door, push it

door, slide the hold-back bolt back�
For lubrication and out-of-adjustment issues, refer to

bolt-type latch� It can be operated independently by
