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. Please follow the instructions below and handle the assembly carefully. CAUTION: Dropping the assembly or any excessive impact MAY cause damage to the motor. Instructions: 1. Position the gear cover in place as shown if not already in place. 2. Seat motor into position on the three mounting bosses. This may require an adjustment of the gear by moving the swing arms. 3. After seating into place, fasten the motor with the three motor mount screws with 4mm Hex Head. Tighten screws to 36 in-lbs (4N-m). Do not over torque.

Using supplied PosiTaps, connect trigger wires into corresponding door ajar wires. The Power Step trigger wires color coordinate with the factory door ajar wires. Note the differences explained below for Regular Cab and Super Cab. Front Driver-Side Door: Dark Green with Purple stripe (avoid other wires of similar color... the lighter green wires will not work. The correct wire will ground when the front door is closed and OL with the front door open.). Rear Driver-Side: Dark Green (avoid other wires of similar color... the lighter green wire will not work. The correct wire will ground when the rear door is closed and OL with the rear door open.).

Congratulations on your purchase of the genuine AMP Research PowerStep! Heres what you should know...

POWERSTEP OPERATION The AMP Research PowerStep automatically deploys when any door is opened. When both front and rear doors are closed, it retracts automatically under your vehicle. The drive system is designed to automatically stop if resistance, blockage or icing occurs. To reset, clear any obstruction, then simply open and close the door and normal operation will resume. MAINTENANCE TIPS - The stepping surface and linkages should be periodically washed with mild soap and water using a soft brush or sponge to dislodge any mud, dirt or accumulated road grime. In severe driving conditions, pressure washing the linkages is strongly recommended. Avoid spraying the motors directly with high-pressure water. After washing, apply Silicone spray lubricant to the pivot pins of each linkage assembly. Remove any excess lubricant with a soft clean cloth. Do not apply Silicone spray, waxes or protectants like Armor All to the stepping surfaces. KEEPING P When washing your vehicle, the PowerStep can be set to remain in the deployed position with the doors closed. DO THIS... 1. 2. Close the door while continuing to press down on the step. (This will not harm the motor.) 3. To resume normal operation, simply open and close the door. (Repeat for both sides of the vehicle.) C AU T I O N !
