EQUIpMENT - INTRODUcTION
This section covers the basic operation and
care of equipment found in the motorhome,
most of which are provided for entertainment
and comfort. More detailed information about
specific equipment may be found in the OEM
manuals. Optional equipment will also be
discussed in this section which may not apply
to all motorhomes.
INFORMATION
Detailed information with CAUTION
or WARNING instructions for the
various electronics, other than what is
provided in this section, can be found
in the OEM manuals.
ENTRY STEp
The exterior electric entry
step features retractable
steps, automatic retraction
with the ignition key in the
RUN position and a last out
feature.
NOTE
When dry camping it is important
to note that when the switch is
illuminated, all step circuits are active
and drawing current from the chassis
battery. Chassis battery disconnect
switch must be on for entry step to
operate.
Operating the Entry Step:
With the entry door open, turn the
step switch on. Ensure the chassis
disconnect switch is on.
Close the door. The step should retract
and lock in the IN position.
Open the door. The step should extend
and lock in the OUT position. The step
will retract when the door is closed.
When the switch is turned off, the step
should remain in the extended position.
Close the door and turn on the ignition
switch. The step will retract for travel.
With the power switch off, the step
extended, the entry door closed and the
ignition turned on, the ignition override
system will engage to automatically
retract the step.
Turn the ignition off and open the
door. The step will extend and lock
in the OUT position. This is the “last
out” feature. When the ignition is on
the step will always activate with door
movement, regardless of the power
switch position.
WARNING
Turning the ignition switch to the
ON position while the motorhome is
parked will cause the entry step to
retract. Visually confirm that the entry
step is fully extended prior to exiting
the motorhome.
CAUTION
High curbs can impede step operation.
Use care when parked on side streets.
If the entry step fails to operate:
Verify that the entry step switch is ON.
Check the main power supply for the
step: a 25 Amp fuse located in the
roadside front electrical panel.
A magnetic door
jam switch is
used to control
step operation.
Use a separate
magnet to apply
a “trigger” to the door jam switch.
Rotate test magnet to align polarity
field.
WARNING
If the motorhome is driven with the
step in the extended position major
damage to both the step and the
motorhome could occur.
CAUTION
Keep fingers, clothing and other
hardware away from moving
components.
Maintenance
The steps are equipped with self-lubricating
bushings in the drive assembly and step joints
and require no maintenance. If in extreme
weather conditions and lubrication is deemed
necessary a silicon based grease or spray can
be used on the bushings.
NOTE
Clean and inspect step more frequently
in adverse weather conditions. Mud,
snow, road salts and sand could
quickly break down lubricant and
corrode painted surfaces.
