OPERATION

WARNING! To prevent personal accident and/or damage to the vehicle, it is imperative that the vehicle does not move during the fitting or use of the wheel step. Chock the wheels and ensure that the vehicle handbrake is on. Put automatics in ‘park’.

Unfold the step frame. Take the step in its fl at the condition as shown in fi g.1 and pull the adjustable wheel bar (C) into position.
Using bar (C), lift the whole frame away from the step into the fully open configuration shown in fi g.2.
Adjust bar (C) to suit tyre depth (A): Bar (C) can be set to one of three positions as indicated at 4, 5 & 6 in fi g.2. These holes occur on both sides of the frame. To move the bar to the next set of holes, depress the sprung chrome buttons (7) on either side into the frame and slide the frame in or out until the buttons ‘pop out’ into the next set of holes.
Adjust height of step (B): There are three positions for the step as indicated at 1, 2, & 3 in fi g.2. Loosen and remove nut (8) on both sides of the step. Withdraw the two bolts and reassemble the step at the height required ensuring that the nuts are not so tight as to prevent the hinges from operating when it is required to fold the frame flat. The step height can be changed either before or after hanging the frame onto a vehicle wheel/tyre.
Hang frame on tyre: Ensure that the handbrake is on and the wheels are chocked before positioning the wheel step.
Check that there is sufficient clearance between the wheel arch and the tire and then in sert bar (C) into the space above the tyre and drop it down over the top of the tyre ensuring that it is securely hooked over the back. If not, adjust the position of bar (C). Ensure that the step is level and the vertical parts of the frame are resting securely onto the face of the wheel/tyre.
Adjust the height of the step if necessary.
When using the step be aware of your surroundings. Do not become so engrossed in what you are doing that you forget you are standing on a step.
Removing the step: Remove the step immediately after use and certainly before the vehicle is next used
