Choose a location out of sight and in a secure spot so it will not come into contact with anything or be kicked by a rear seat passenger 5. Plug the harness into the control box and lay the harness wire into position in the truck starting on the rear passenger side a. You will want to divide the harness between the rear seats, the front passenger seat and inish with the driver door. This will reveal how you will be able to conceal the harness under the carpet when your done 6. Once the harness is positioned in its proposed layout you will need to gain access to the slider outside the truck to power the slider. 7. Starting on the rear passenger side, run the actuator wires from the slider up through the loor of the vehicle. THIS MAY REQUIRE YOU TO DRILL AN ACCESS HOLE DEPENDING ON MODEL AND YEAR. Connect the red/black connector on the wiring harness. a. Secure wires to minimize slack so they are protected. We recommend zip ties b. *Optional: The pink/tan wire is used if LED light package is being installed 8. Inside the truck, route the rear passenger door sensor wire along the doorframe; and using a sticky pad, mount the sensor underneath the door latch

10 a. Pull the rubber door seal away from near the latch and run the sensor wires under the seal. b. Connect the blue/white wire to the door sensor c. Place a small piece of electrical tape on the sensor wire to secure the wire from the truck and protect it on the metal seam 9.

Connect the orange/yellow wire to the door sensor b. Place a small piece of electrical tape on the sensor wire to secure 13. Drill an 18 mm hole to mount the cutoff switch. We recommend using a blank switch spot or near the emergency break release (see picture below).

11 14. Mount the ground from the cutoff switch to a metal surface behind dash panel 15. Route the cutoff switch wires by running the POS+ and NEG- wires rom the wiring harness plug them into the back of the cutoff switch 16. Route the remaining POS+ and NEG- wires through the irewall on the driver s side into the engine compartment. YOU MAY NEED TO DRILL A HOLE THROUGH THE FIREWALL INTO ENGINE COMPARTMENT a. Make sure there is NO INTERFERENCE with any of the pedal linkage under the dash Attach the POS+ to the POS+ side of the battery

12 e. Once that proper placement is achieved we recommend using a permanent marker to outline the magnet on the door. 21. Re-check all wires to make sure they are completely secure and free from coming into contact with any moving part to prevent system damage due to a cut wire 22. Reinstall all internal plastic and carpet pieces that were removed. 23. Make sure that all wires are tucked back and out of heavy traf ic areas on the loor. f. Route them toward the furthest back area underneath the rear seat 24. Close all doors 25. Insert the fuse into the holder on the POS+ side of the battery 26. Get in the vehicle. Start it and then turn the cutoff switch into the ON position. The red Led light should come on. The system is now active. Wait for 10 seconds so the system can check the system. Open your door and the step will actuate. MAINTENANCE OF THE STEP SLIDER Please note the slider is a mechanical mechanism that requires maintenance to operate properly. To keep the slider operating at an optimal level it needs to be maintained with lubrication. We recommend using a Te lon based lubrication on the 7 indicated points below to keep the slider operating smoothly. A good rule of thumb is every time you change your engine oil. Heavy trail use will increase the frequency in lubrication.

13 The slider is powered by the truck s battery when engine is off and powered by the Truck s engine while the vehicle is running. This will cause the slider to operate at different speeds depending on if the truck engine is running or not. If you feel the slider is sticking at certain points or the motor is stressing it may be possible a friction point has developed during the install due to a variance in the slider or truck s construction o To identify a friction point that may be stressing the slider motor, look at the slider from outside the truck and open and shut the truck door a couple of times and study the way the slider operates. Look at the slider for wear in the powder coating. The slider leaves our manufacturing facility with a perfect powder coating so if you see a spot on the slider that has scratches or the powder coating shows a blemish; that s a good indication of a friction point. Using a ile or other grinding tool to smooth over a small area on the slider can alleviate this problem.
