CAUTION: HANDLE WITH CARE.
To ensure our customers receive all components with full integrity, we pack
the motors separate from their linkage assemblies. This requires that the
installer position and fasten the motor before continuing with the install.
Please follow the instructions below and handle the assembly carefully.
CAUTION: Dropping the assembly or any excessive impact MAY cause
damage to the motor.
Instructions:
1. Position the gear cover in place as shown if not already in place.
2. Seat motor into position on the three mounting bosses. This may require
an adjustment of the gear by moving the swing arms.
3. After seating into place, fasten the motor with the three motor mount
screws with 4mm Hex Head. Tighten screws to 36 in-lbs (4N-m). Do not
over torque.

Congratulations on the purchase of your
AMP Research Power Step
Here’s what you should know...
OPERATION
The AMP Research Power Step automatically deploys when at least one door opens and automatically retracts under
your vehicle when both front and rear doors close. If resistance or blockage is encountered while the Power Step is
in motion, the drive system is designed to automatically stop. To reset, simply open or close the vehicle door and the
Power Step will resume normal operation.
MAINTENANCE TIPS
The stepping surface and drive mechanism can be washed with mild soap and water using a soft brush or sponge to
dislodge any mud, dirt or accumulated road grime. Rinse with fresh water.
To prevent slipping, avoid applying waxes, lubricants or protectants like Armor All® to the step surface.
When washing your vehicle, the Power Steps can be set to remain deployed with the doors closed for easy cleanning. Do this...
1 With the Power Step deployed, press and hold the board down with your foot.
2 Close the door while continuing to press down the board. (This will not harm motor.)
3 To reset the Power Step, simply open and close the door. (Repeat for both sides of vehicle.)
CAUTION! BE SURE TO KEEP HANDS AWAY WHEN THE POWER STEP IS IN MOTION.
