the board on the front and rear motor assembly bases. Align the sliding T-Nut
on the running board with the slots on the front and ear motor base. Once the
T-Nuts are aligned, rotate the running board so that the T-Nuts set in the
slots on the base of the arms.
Step
9: Determine where you want to position the board and secure the running
board to the arms using the (2 per bracket) M6x25 socket head cap screws.
Using a torque wrench, tighten to 9 ft-lbs. Step # With the running board is
installed, fasten the hardware on the Driver side front and rear motor

Wiring your E-Boards
Step 11: With the control module installed, plug in the harness
connectors to the corresponding connectors. On the round connectors, make sure
you plug in red to red and black to black.
Route the electrical harness from the controller along the frame rail of the
truck. Connect the male plug connector on the wire harness into the female
socket on the motors. The harness is labeled to show where to plug each male
connector to the female connector. For example, Front Left is for the front
Driver side motor and Rear Left for the rear Driver side motor. Use supplied
zip-ties to secure harness to the frame rail.
Step 12: Connect the male plug connector on the wire harness into the female socket on the motors. The harness is labeled Front Right for the front Passenger side motor and Rear Right for the rear Passenger side motor.
Wiring your E-Boards
Step 12: Align the arrows on the small round connectors and plug the PASSENGER side front and PASSENGER side rear LED lights. Prepare the surface by cleaning with a 50/50 mix of isopropyl alcohol and water or equivalent. Once the surface is completely dry, peel the backing from the double-sided tape and stick the LEDs to the bottom side of the rocker panel. Position the LED lights at the center of the front and rear passenger side doors
Step 13: Route the motor and LED wire harness from the controller to the Driver side frame rail of the vehicle. When routing the harness keep clear from any moving parts and avoid direct contact with the exhaust system.
Wiring your E-Boards
Step 14:
On the Passenger side, remove the front kick panel, front door sill trim
panel, and b-pillar trim panel. Pull the front passenger carpet back and cut a
7/16” hole on the rubber gromet as shown. Feed the door trigger signal wires
(white and brown) and the disable switch wires (two black wires) into the cab.
Seal around the wires using RTV silicone adhesive to prevent water intrusion.
Wiring your E-Boards
Step 15 : Route the passenger side door trigger wire (brown) towards the
driver side b-pillar.
Route the driver side door trigger wire (white) and the black disable switch
wires under the center console to the left side of the vehicle.
The white wire needs to go to the driver side bpillar, the black wires will go
to the center console.
Step 16: The door trigger sensor harness will need a ground connection to
the vehicle. Locate the seat belt assembly at the driver side b-pillar and
install the ground wire under the top bolt of the seat belt assembly.
Connect the snap-in bullet connector to the brown wire on the Passenger side
b-pillar
Wiring your E-Boards
Step
17: FRONT DOOR Apply a vertically oriented strip of masking tape on the
front driver side door using the deepest part of the latch as a reference
point. Make a mark 2-3” below the center line of the latch. Prepare the
surface by cleaning with a 50/50 mix of isopropyl alcohol and water or
equivalent.
Once the surface is completely dry, peel the backing from the double-sided
tape and stick the magnet to the door. Align the top of the magnet with the 5”
mark as shown.
Step 18: Apply a vertically oriented strip of masking tape on the door
jamb using the outer edge of the front driver side door striker as a reference
point.
Make a mark 2-3” below the center line of the striker.
Lift the bulb door seal to route the sensor wire underneath it. Prepare the
surface by cleaning with a 50/50 mix of isopropyl alcohol and water or
equivalent. Once the surface is completely dry, peel the backing from the
double-sided tape and stick the sensor to the b-pillar. Align the top of the
sensor with the 2-3” mark as shown.
Note: Magnet and Sensor Positioning. The measurement shown is for reference
only and can be adjusted depending on the vehicle application. The magnet
needs to align with the sensor in order to operate. With the magnets in
position and the power switched on, test the boards by opening each door
independently to ensure proper step function. Once all magnet locations are
confirmed and the system is operating correctly, mark the magnet positions and
permanently install using the round double-sided tape.
If the boards do not deploy, inspect the magnet position and realign with the
sensor.
Wiring your E-Boards

LIMITED WARRANTY
Go Rhino warrants to Buyer that for a period of five (5) years from the date
of shipment of the product(s) (“Warranty Period”) for black finishes and
chrome finishes, that such products will materially conform to the
specifications set forth in Go Rhino’s specifications in effect as of the
date of shipment(s) and will be free from material defects in material
workmanship.
Go Rhino warrants to Buyer that for the life of the product(s) from the date
of shipment of the product(s) (“Warranty Period”) for polished stainless steel
finished products purchased after April 2004, that such products will
materially conform to the specifications set forth in Go Rhino’s
specifications in effect as of the date of shipments and will be free from
material defects in material workmanship.
Warranty claims must be accompanied with the original invoice and photos of
the product. It is the customer’s responsibility to clean regularly and
protect finish with regular applications of a nonabrasive polish that is
compatible with the product’s finish.
This warranty covers the cost of the product only and does not include the
cost of removal, installation, third party modifications or shipping of the
product. In no event shall Go Rhino be liable to buyer or any third party for
any damage or harm caused by the roduct or use thereof, regardless of weather
such damages were foreseeable and whether or not Go Rhino has been advised of
the possibility of such damages, not withstanding the failure of any agreed or
other remedy of its essential purpose. This warranty is void if the product
shows signs of alteration, misuse, mishandling, improper care, neglect,
improper application and/or damage due to improper installation.
With respect to any such product(s) during the limited warranty period, Go
Rhino shall, in its sole discretion, either: (i) provide a one-time repair or
replacement of such products (or the defective part) or (ii) credit or refund
the price of such products at the pro
rata contract rate provided that, if Go Rhino so requests, Buyer shall, at Go
Rhino’s expense, return such product(s) to Go Rhino. The remedies shall be the
Buyer’s sole and exclusive remedy and Go Rhino’s entire liability for any
breach of the limited warrant(ies).

Finish Limited Warranty:
Limited lifetime on stainless steel products (after April 2004)
5 year warranty on black powder coat products
5 year warranty on chrome products
This warranty does not cover exposed welds
Finish warranty covers peeling, flaking, or cracking. Washing all finishes
regularly with car wash soap and rinsing well with water is the best method
for maintaining the finish on your products. You must also protect the finish
with nonabrasive automotive wax on a regular basis. The use of any compound
which contains abrasives becomes a self-defeating exercise as the compound
scratches the finish and opens it to corrosion. The use of harsh chemicals
used to remove bugs and tar may also cause the finish to fail and should be
avoided.
