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 .
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!
Do Not Use:
• Alcohol based glass cleaners or
citrus based cleaners as these
solutions adversely affect acrylic
material causing stress cracks
leading to eventual failure of the
grab handle .
ENTRY DOOR
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 lock
incorporates a primary and
secondary latching system
to ensure safety .
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 . Adjust in small increments . Tighten the
bolt firmly after making adjustments . 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 .
• Spray silicone on a 1” sponge paint brush then brush
door gasket to eliminate squeaks during travel .
Changing Screen Door Glass:
• The screen slider is Tuffak® . The slider can be
bowed for removal and replacement .
• Replace with new Tuffak and reverse the procedure .
WARNING:
Step repairs should be performed by a qualified
technician . Failure of the step to extend can result
in serious injuries .
INSPECTION:
Clean and inspect step more frequently in
inclement weather . Mud, snow, road salts and sand
could quickly break down lubricant and corrode
painted surfaces .
