Installation

Secure Threshold Plate

1. 

With the step extended in the down position, place the SolidStep® Levitate assembly inside the 

doorframe threshold.

NOTE:  

Make sure the step threshold plate (Fig. 4A) is placed firmly against the outside edge (red line) of 

the door threshold (Fig. 3B). If not positioned flush against the outside edge of the door threshold, 

the step assembly could prevent the door from closing.

NOTE:  

The leg extension is shipped attached to the top step with a cable tie and must be temporarily 

installed before complete step installation.

A.  Remove the leg extension from the step by cutting the cable tie.

B.  Pull the spring loaded plunger (Fig. 3B) and insert the leg extension into the receiver. Do not let 

the spring loaded plunger engage with any of the holes. 

C.  Insert a 3/16" temporary pin or tool (Fig. 3A) into the hole above the spring loaded plunger  

(Fig. 3B) to secure the leg extension. 

NOTE:  

Temporary pin will be removed once step and lift assist are fully installed.
