Preparation
Before installation, verify that the trailer is on solid, level or near level ground.
1. Secure OEM-supplied wooden backer beam, or comparable structural substitute, underneath the sub-
floor in front of the doorway where the mounting brackets will be attached.
2. The backer beam should be 1" to 2" thick and at least as wide as the hinge plate.
NOTE: The backer beam provides better penetration for the screws and helps prevent damage to the floor
if the step is improperly deployed.
3. Chock trailer tires to prevent unwanted movement during component installation.
