WARNING
No repairs should be attempted by
anyone other than by a qualified
technical professional. The
deployment and retraction of the steps
can cause serious injuries.
Step Cover
An electrically operated stepwell cover will
extend and retract using the switch on the
center console. Power is supplied by a 15 Amp
circuit breaker in the roadside front electrical
panel.
To operate the Stepwell Cover:
Chassis Battery Disconnect must be on.
Press and hold the Step Cover switch
to the desired direction. Release the
switch to stop movement.
CAUTION
When operating the stepwell cover,
make sure there are no pets, shoes or
other obstructions in the stepwell area.
DO NOT operate the stepwell cover
while standing in the stepwell area.
Stepwell Storage Compartment
The interior stepwell
features a storage
compartment in the
upper step. This
compartment is ideal
for storing such items
such as gloves (for
refueling), tire pressure
gauge, flashlights or
outside slippers.

gRAB HANDLE
The grab handle is used to aid in
entering and exiting the motorhome.
Cleaning the Handle:
Clean the acrylic grab handle
using mild soap and water only!
What Not To Use:
DO NOT use alcohol based
glass cleaners as these solutions
adversely affect acrylic material
causing stress cracks leading to
eventual failure of the grab handle.
Use of alcohol based cleaners
combined with heat and light will
expedite deterioration of the acrylic
material.
ENTRY DOOR
The entry
door is adjusted
at the factory
and tested for
all operations.
The door uses
two separate
locks for safety
and security. One locking system is the door
lock and the other is a dead bolt. The door
handle incorporates a primary and secondary
latching system to ensure safety. There are
adjustments which can be made to help
maintain entry door performance.

Latch Adjustments
Adjusting the Entry Door Latch:
Determine which bolt needs adjustment.
Slowly close the entry door, observing
the latch and strike bolt alignment.
DO
NOT attempt to latch if the alignment
is off. If the alignment is correct, allow
the latch to catch in the first (primary)
position only.
The latch should move to the second
position with only slight pressure applied
to the entry door. Upper and lower
latches should be evenly timed. Press
on the entry door to check for further
movement.
The entry handle should operate with
little effort to open the entry door. Excess
pressure indicates the bolts are set too far
back.
With a box wrench or socket, loosen
the movable strike bolt. Make all
adjustments in small increments. Tighten
the bolt firmly after making adjustments.
The bolts should have slight up and
down movement for vibration control in
travel.
Test the operation of the dead bolt lock
to ensure proper functions.
Apply silicone weekly to the entry door
rubber gaskets to prevent squeaking
while the motorhome is in use. Use a 1”
sponge paint brush, sprayed with silicone
for easy application.
CAUTION
When operating the entry door, ensure
the dead bolt latch is fully unlocked
prior to closing. Failure to do so can
result in damage to the dead bolt and/
or entry door.
