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 that
particular manufacturer’s manual. 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 that
specific manufacturer’s manual.
entry Step
Operation
The exterior electric entry
step features retractable
steps, automatic retraction
with the ignition key in the
RUN
position and a last out
feature.
NOTE
Turn off the power
switch to the step
when dry camping to
avoid draining the chassis battery.
Operating the Entry Step:
1. With the entry door open, turn the step
switch on.
2. Close the door. The step should retract
and lock in the
IN
position.
3. Open the door. The step should extend
and lock in the
OUT
position. The step
will retract when the door is closed.
4. 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.
5. 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.
6. 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.
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 front
distribution 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 there is the
possibility of causing major damage to
both the step and the motorhome.
Lubrication:
Keeping the
step clean is
essential for
smooth and
reliable operation.
Before applying a quality silicone based grease
on the moving parts, thoroughly clean the step
using a pressure washer or a stiff nylon bristle-
brush and automotive detergent. Allow the step
to thoroughly dry. Lubricate approximately
every thirty days.
CAUTION
Keep fingers, clothing and other
hardware away from moving
components.
NOTE
Clean and lubricate step more
frequently in adverse weather
conditions. Mud, snow, road salts and
sand quickly break down lubricant and
corrode painted surfaces.
NOTE
WD-40 is not recommended, as it has
a tendency to evaporate and dry the
mating surfaces, which leaves them
vulnerable to the elements.
Step Cover
Cover:
An electrically operated stepwell cover will
extend and retract using the switch on the center
console. Power is supplied by a 15 Amp fuse in
the roadside front electrical bay.
Located on right
side of dash.
