DOOR SWITCH STEP ACTIVATION
INSTALLATION GUIDE (1421330)
STEPS
Purpose
Note:
Information for this document has been obtained from Kwikee® Products document number
1421330, Revision 0B, dated February 2008 and updated for current practices.
This document explains the removal of an existing door switch and installation of a replacement door switch
that will activate the Kwikee electric step when the door is opened and closed. A brief guide to replacement
parts is also included.
Moving parts can pinch, crush or cut. Keep fingers, arms, and legs clear of the step mechanism while
performing these tasks. Failure to do so may result in personal injury. Keep clear and use caution.
If the vehicle is driven with the step in the extended position, there is the possibility of causing major
damage to both the step and the unit. Always make sure that the step is fully retracted before traveling.
Step safely supports up to 300 lbs. Do Not overload the step assembly. Stepping on a partially extended
step can cause damage to the step frame. Continue pressing door switch until control unit shuts motor
off.
