Kwikee 90615 Series Operating Instructions

Overview
The 90615 Series Step Well Covers,
manufactured by Kwikee Products
Company, Inc., are designed for
front-entry coaches. The step well
cover provides comfort and foot-
support for the person riding in the
passenger seat. The step well cover
also provides added user safety by
preventing accidental falls into the
entry step well.
The construction of the step well
cover consists of three primary parts:
1) Outer shell
2) Slider
3) Drive mechanism
The outer shell connects directly to
the chassis of the motor coach and
provides the structural support and
environmental protection for the drive
mechanism and slider.
The slider is the portion of the slide
that extends and that the user sees
during normal operation.
The drive mechanism is responsible
for providing the power to drive the
slider in and out and also provides
the Emergency Retract function.

DO NOT RIDE THE SLIDER DURING OPERATION.
Extension
To extend the unit, first make sure that
there are no obstructions in the step well
which will interfere with the operation of the
unit. Locate the step well slide rocker
switch and position yourself fully inside the
coach. Do not stand in the entry step well.
Press and hold the rocker switch in the
extend position until the unit is fully
extended and stops moving.
Verify that the slide is fully extended by
visually checking to see that the unit is
level and parallel to the main floor and that
the front edge of the slide is resting on the
support blocks next to the entry door.
Retraction
To retract the unit, first make sure that
there is nothing laying on top of the slider.
Locate the step well slide rocker switch
and position yourself fully inside the coach.
Press and hold the rocker switch in the
retract position until the unit is fully
retracted and stops movement.
Verify that the slide is fully retracted by
visually checking to see that the unit is
flush with the back part of the step.

Retract will cause the unit to become
