COACH STEP

AUTOMA TIC ELECTRIC STEPS AND AUTOMATIC ELECTRIC SLIDING STEPS

Keep clear of steps as they are deployed. Step actuation takes approximately two seconds whether extending or retracting.

Keep hands and fingers away from step mechanism during actuation process to prevent serious bodily injury.

TEST PROCEDURE PRIOR TO INST ALLATION

1. Steps will install easier when extended first. Place steps upside down on workbench or floor.

2. Cut and connect four (4) jumper wires to the 4-pin connector. Match the jumper wires to the posts on the connector color for color.

3. Connect GREEN WIRE to the NEGATIVE post of a fully charged, 12V automotive battery .

4. Connect RED and WHITE WIRES to the POSITIVE post of the battery.

5. Connect the BROWN WIRE to the NEGATIVE post of the battery .

6. Disconnect jumper wires from the battery.

Steps must be installed using four (4) 5/16”, GR 8 bolts, lock washer and nuts for the Automatic Elctric Steps and 3/8” bolts, lock washers and
nuts for the Automatic Electric Slideing Step. Retract steps by attaching wires in the following sequence:

1. Ground the GREEN WIRE to the chassis.

2. T ouch the RED and WHITE wires to the positive terminal on the battery .

Proceed to install door switch and power switch(items not included). The wires of the four pin connector must be routed as follows:

1. WHITE - Connect to power switch (16 ga. min. wire).

2. YELLOW - Must be connected to power source that is only hot when ignition is “ON.” Protect with 6A fuse or breaker (16 ga. min. wire).

3. RED - Connec to power for motor. Protect with 25A fuse (10 ga. min. wire).

4. BROWN - Connect to door switch (16 ga. min. wire).

INSTALLA TION - DOOR SWITCH

Lippert Components, Inc. (LCI) recommends the use of the LCI supplied switch. However, if another switch is to be used, it must be a switch held
open in the presence of a magnet and should have a triggering distance of no more than one inch.

Steps are designed to extend when the door switch closes (magnet is removed) and the switch completes the ground.
The Door Switch is ideally installed 6 inches above the floor on the hinge side of the door frame. The magnet will be installed on the door

immediately opposite. The distance between the magnet and the switch should be determined by trial unit the steps begin to extend when the door
is open around 6 inches.

Wires are best installed out of sight and away from sharp objects and potential snags. It is very important that a good ground is supplied in an
area not likely to corrode, as this can contribute to step failure.

NOTE: Installation of the Door Switch is a critical element in the installation of the step. The switch must be installed so that any flexing of the
door frame does not cause the step to extend. Conversely, the switch must trip early enough so when the door is opened, the steps extend prior to
the passenger exiting the coach. The steps should begin extending prior to the door opening 6 inches.
