AIRSTREAM LAND YACHT GAS

MAINTENANCE AND LUBRICATION

Clean all mud, salt, and road grime from step before lubricating. Lubricate all moving parts
(bearings, pivot points, slides, clevis pin, and drive linkage ball) every 30 days with a good
quality moisture and heat resistant penetrating grease. Kwik-Lube Spray Grease is specially
formulated to lubricate Kwikee Electric Steps and is recommended for lubricating all moving
parts. Refer to the figures below for lubrication locations.
NOTE: Figures are to be used as a general reference only. Some may not pertain to your
particular step model. Views are typical to both ends of the steps.
1. Figures 1 & 3 - square shaft bearing - lubricate around outside and under head of bearing.
2. Figure 4 - on step models equipped with plastic cover, this cover will have to be removed to
lubricate center bearings. Lubricate bearings under cover every 90 days.
3. Figure 4 - 1" O.D. tube bearing - lubricate around drive tube and between head of bearing and
drive leg.
NOTE: We recommend that penetrating oils and silicone lubricants not be used on the step
as they do not last.
