CAUTION
Stay clear of the entrance step area when
the step cover is being extended or
retracted. Loose clothing may catch on
components of the mechanism when
entering or exiting the coach. Failure to
observe can cause injury.
Emergency Retract Feature
The step cover is equipped with an Emergency
Retract function in event of an emergency exit
situation and/or the step cover fails to retract
while in the extended position.
Do not use Emergency Retract feature unless
necessary for emergency. Operation of the
Emergency Retract feature will cause the step
cover to become non-functional until the cable
mechanism is reconnected by your dealer.
An emergency cable release is connected to a
black plastic snap-in plate labeled "Emergency
Retract" located at the front edge of the step
cover.
To release the step cover for exit emergency,
remove the black plastic plate by pulling it
upward and to the side.
A bead-chain is attached to the black plastic
cover and as you remove it, the chain will pull the
release allowing you to manually push the cover
in.
