Once you have checked that the Steps function
properly, reinstall the Step Plates.

Due to variations in vehicle build, the PowerBoards

may contact the vehicle body when in the up position.
If you would like to stop the board’s travel earlier, install
the supplied PSA Bumpers to the inner links or stick the
bumper to the body at the location of contact.
To stop the board travel earlier, look for the area on the
inner link where the Stop Bumper on the outer link would
make contact if the board did not stop early (see gap in
illustration).
Open the door to lower the board. Stand on the board to
keep it in the down position and shut the door. Remove
the fuse. Peel the backing off of the PSA Bumper and
stick it to the surface on the inner link where the Stop
Bumper will contact it. Do this on both idler and motor
links. Reinstall the fuse and check to make sure the Stop
Bumper hits the PSA Bumper when the doors are shut.
