POWER STEP
WARNING: Make sure before exiting the vehicle, that the step is activated and/or extended.
Because of the height of the RV, you may accidentally slip or fall if attempting to exit
without use of the step. If the step will not operate, use extra care when exiting. Never
activate the step when someone is using it, and be sure to keep hands, feet, children, and
pets away from the mechanism when activated.
When the power step is activated, it extends and retracts automatically when the door is opened or closed.
There are two ways to control the operation of the step:
Switch panel-— Power to the step, provided by the chassis batteries, may be turned on and off with the
rocker switch located just inside the door. When on, the step will extend whenever the door is opened, and
retract when the door is closed. The step may be kept in the extended position by turning the switch off after
the step is lowered. To maintain your battery life this switch should be turned off while in storage.
Ignition switch-— Whenever the ignition switch is turned on, the power step is automatically activated. This
will prevent accidentally driving with the step lowered, since it will retract with the door closed.
STORAGE
Your RV is equipped with numerous outside storage compartments. Each door can be locked for security.
These doors are equipped with gas struts to hold the door open, if these become weak, contact your dealer for
proper replacement. If the wrong size strut is used it could cause damage to the door. On compartments under
the slide outs there are adjustable brackets, these will allow the door to open at two different heights. One
position is set up to open the door at a 90º level from the closed position, and the other setting is to open the
door more than 90º from the doors closed position. To adjust the gas struts; loosen the strut anchor nut,
located on the strut bracket, and position the strut in the desired bracket inlet. Tighten the strut anchor nut.
Repeat procedure for the other gas strut as well. Do not close the compartment door until both gas struts are
secure and in the same inlet setting.
Do not overload outside storage compartments with heavy densely
packed items. Remember that any weight added to the RV effects
the overall vehicle weight. Also remember to check side to side
weights, since putting an extremely heavy item on one side or the
other will effect proper load distribution.
Keep any emergency items stored in outside storage
compartments easily available, where they can be reached without
unloading the entire contents of the compartments.
NOTE: Make sure that all compartment doors are closed, latched,
and contents secure before starting and moving the RV.
WARNING: When closing the storage doors make sure that hands and fingers are clear of
hinges and openings
