ELECTRIC DOOR STEP
The electric door step opens automatically when the screen door is opened. The power is supplied
by 12-volt DC arriving through a 30-amp breaker located in the engine bay. A yellow wire supplies
power to the electric step.
#
CAUTION: When opening the door from the outside, ensure that you are not in the path of
the step.
Due to external exposure, lubricate movement points on step as listed in the manufacturer's
instruction manual.
Operating the Step
1. Turn on the motorhome master battery switch.
2. After the installation is complete, with the entrance door open, turn the power switch on.
3. Close the door. The step should retract and lock in the UP position.
4. Open the door. The step should extend and lock in the DOWN position with the under-step
light and the step well lights activated.
NOTE: The under-step light is not available on all step models.
5. Turn the power switch off. The step should remain in the extended position with the
under-step light off when the door is closed. Turning off the power with the step retracted
will hold the step in a retracted position as well.
6. With the power switch off, the step extended, and the entrance door closed, turn on the
vehicle ignition. The ignition override system will go into effect and the step will
automatically retract.
y
WARNING: If the vehicle is driven with the step in the extended position, there is the
possibility of causing major damage to both the step and the vehicle.
7. Turn the vehicle ignition off and open the door. The step will extend and lock in the DOWN
position.
y
WARNING: If the door is opened and closed without allowing the step to fully extend
and lock in the DOWN position, the step will retract and lock in the UP position. When
the door is reopened, the step will not extend. The power switch must be turned on for
the step to extend.
8. The LAST OUT feature is only operative the first time the door is opened after the vehicle
ignition is turned off.
When the vehicle ignition is on, the step will always activate with the door movement, regardless
of the switch position.
y
WARNING: Be safe, look before you leap!
