THULE ELECTRIC STEP
o
peration
• The Thule step is operated by the rocker
switch located inside the habitation door of
your motorhome.
• The maximum static load it can withstand
is 200kg.
• When using the step you must press
and hold the switch until the step is fully
extended. Never use the step in a partial
state of opening. This will lead to damage to
the motor.
• Always check the step is fully retracted
before departure!
m
aintenance
Dirt and frost can prevent the Thule Step from
operating properly. In this case the moving
parts should be cleaned or defrosted. Keep the
footboard clean and check the operation of the
switch regularly.
It's possible to take out the footboard in order
to clean the step inside.
• Retract the footboard by the lever switch,
when possible not fully. Disconnect the
power to the step.
• Disconnect the 2 drive rods from the
footboard by removing the clips at the
bottomside of the foot- board.
• Take away the 2 black stops with the screws
at the outside.
• Take out the footboard and clean.
• Brush the inside of the step and remove the
dirt with a vacuum cleaner. Never use a high
pressure cleaner or water.
• First reconnect the driving rods. Followed by
fixing the endstops.
i
n caSe of electrical failure
• If the step does not retract by motor it is
possible to take out the footboard.
• Never retract or extend the step by hand
without this mechanical disconnection.
c
urrent drawn
• The Thule Step motor uses 2A during
operation.
• Note: If the switch is kept pushed when fully
extended or retracted, it uses 9A.
a
cceSSorieS
• Electronic control unit (308812) for
automatic extension and retraction when
opening or closing the door.
• Relay for automatic retraction (x10)
(308200) that prevents operation of the
Thule Step and keeps it retracted whilst
driving.
