SECTION 2
DRIVING YOUR MOTOR HOME
The step cover movement is powered by air
pressure from the air brake/horn system. If sys-
tem air pressure drops below 60 psi (shown on
gauge in lower center of instrument panel), the
step cover will not operate properly. If the air
pressure is too low to retract step, use the Emer-
gency Air Release Valve as described below.
Stepwell Cover Emergency Air Release
Valve:
Rotate the knob so it points to OPEN to bypass
air pressure to the step mechanism. This allows
you to stop the travel of the step cover while ex-
tending, if necessary. It also allows you to manu-
ally push the step cover back into the storage
position for use of the step in case of low air
pressure.
Rotate the knob pointer back to the CLOSED
position to resume power operation.
LUGGAGE COMPART-
MENT DOORS
To ensure that compartment doors have
latched properly, press the bottom edge of the
door with the palms of your hands. This is more
important for smaller and lighter compartment
doors because when the door is “dropped”
closed, the air trapped inside the compartment
may create a cushioning effect that could some-
times prevent door latches from engaging proper-
ly.
POWER ELECTRIC
MIRRORS
The electric mirrors are adjusted using a
multi-directional switch located on the driver’s
side armrest.
CAUTION
Stay clear of entrance step area when
stepwell is being extended or retract-
ed. When entering or exiting, loose
clothing may catch on components of
the mechanism. Personal injury and/
or property damage may result.
