c. Once that proper placement is achieved we recommend using a permanent

marker to outline the magnet on the door.

21. Re-check all wires to make sure they are completely secure and free from coming into

contact with any moving part to prevent system damage due to a cut wire

Led light should come on. The system is now active. Wait for 10 seconds so the system

MAINTENANCE OF THE STEP SLIDER

Please note the slider is a mechanical mechanism that requires maintenance to operate

properly. To keep the slider operating at an optimal level it needs to be maintained
with lubrication. We recommend using a Teflon based lubrication on the 7 indicated

points below to keep the slider operating smoothly. A good rule of thumb is every time

you change your engine oil. Heavy trail use will increase the frequency in lubrication.

TROUBLE SHOOTING/FRICTION POINTS

The slider is powered by the truck’s battery when engine is off and powered by the
Truck’s engine while the vehicle is running. This will cause the slider to operate at

different speeds depending on if the truck engine is running or not.

If you feel the slider is sticking at certain points or the motor is stressing it may be

possible a friction point has developed during the install due to a variance in the slider
or truck’s construction

o

To identify a friction point that may be stressing the slider motor, look at the

slider from outside the truck and open and shut the truck door a couple of times
