6.5″ SAWTOOTH RUNNING BOARD

ADAPTER PLATE INSTALLATION

1. Flip the Running Board over. Place each Backing Plate and each Bolt Adapter Plate together (1a) and place them onto the underside of the running board and through the notch (1b). Slide plates into channels of the running board and position plates so they line up approximately with the existing mounting bracket location (1c).
   Note: It might be helpful to position the underside of the running board parallel to the existing mounting plates already installed on your vehicle, so you can align the Backing Plate/Bolt Adapter more accurately.

2. You may need to adjust the plates slightly to align with the existing brackets (2a). Once aligned, insert provided Allen drive studs into the holes on the Bolt Adapter Plate (2b), and finger tighten to hold both plates securely in place (2c), while still allowing for further adjustment to match up with vehicle mounting brackets. Repeat steps 1 and 2 for the passenger side.
   BOARD INSTALLATION

3. Tighten Allen drive studs with Allen wrench (3a). Place the Running Board in brackets (3b). Each running board is marked Driver and Passenger.

4. Align each Allen drive stud with each hole in the bracket. Place the spacer plate in between the bracket and the board when installing.

5. Fasten the Running Board on each bracket by using two (2) M8 Flat Washers, two (2) M8 Lock Washers, and two (2) M8 Hex Head Nuts per bracket. When all hardware is in place, everything must be tightened. Tighten until the split lock washer is flat between the M8 Flat Washer and M8 Hex Head Nut. Repeat these steps for driver-side installation.
