CAUTION: HANDLE WITH CARE.
To ensure our customers receive all components with full integrity, we pack
the motors separate from their linkage assemblies. This requires that the
installer position and fasten the motor before continuing with the install.

CAUTION: Dropping the assembly or any excessive impact MAY cause damage
to the motor. Instructions:
- Position the gear cover in place as shown if not already in place.
- Seat motor into position on the three mounting bosses. This may require an adjustment of the gear by moving the swing arms.

POWER-DEPLOYABLE RUNNING BOARDS OPERATION: AMP Research PowerStep running boards automatically move when the doors are opened to assist entering and exiting the vehicle.
Automatic power deploy:
- The running boards will extend down and out when the doors are opened.
Automatic power stow:
- The running boards will return to the stowed position when the doors are closed. There will be a 2-second delay before the running boards move to the stowed position.
Automatic stop:
- If an object is in the way of the moving running board, the running board will automatically stop.
- To reset, clear any obstruction, then simply open and close the door to resume normal operation.
- Manually set in the deployed (OUT) position for access to the roof:
- The running boards can be manually set in the deployed position by firmly holding the step down with your foot while at the same time closing the door. To resume normal operation, open and close the door.
- Maintenance: In adverse conditions, debris such as mud, dirt, and salt may become trapped in the running board mechanism, possibly leading to unwanted noise.
- If this occurs, manually set the running boards to the deployed position and flush the front
- and rear hinge arms with a high-pressure car wash wand.
- Avoid spraying the motors directly. After washing, apply silicone spray lubricant to the hinge pivot pins.
- Do not apply silicone, wax, or protectants like Armor All® to the running board stepping surface.
- Caution! Keep hands away when the running board is in motion.
