ELECTRIC STEP

SCS Frigette Coach Step

Manufacturer:

Fleming Sales Company

2101 Industrial Parkway

Elkhart, Indiana 46516

574 - 295 - 0234

The step is easy and convenient to operate. Just inside the main door is a wall switch

for the step. When traveling, leave the switch in the “ON” position - the step will lower

when the door is opened and retract when the door is closed.

When parked, open the door so the step is lowered, then shut the switch off. The step

will remain in the lowered position

WARNING

: Look before you exit. As it is possible to deliberately lock

the steps up with the rocker switch, passengers should always be cautioned to

be sure the steps are fully deployed before exiting the motor home.

WITH THE POWER SWITCH “ON”

Open the door and the steps will extend and lock in the down position. The amber

entry lamp will turn on automatically.

Closing the door will shut off the light and will cause the steps to retract.

CAUTION

: With the power switch ON, steps extended, and door open,

it will be possible to start the vehicle and drive away with the steps extended.

This combination of events is discouraged since damage to the steps and vehicle

is possible.

WITH THE POWER SWITCH “OFF”

If the steps are extended with the door open and the power switch is then turned OFF,

the steps will remain extended. The amber light will go off.

If the steps are retracted when the power switch is turned OFF, the steps will remain

retracted.

With the power switch OFF, the steps extended and the door closed, turning on the

ignition will cause the steps to automatically retract. This feature reduces the possibil-

ity of the vehicle being driven with the steps extended.

After the ignition is turned OFF, and the door is opened, the steps will extend one time

only. This is known as the “last man out” feature.

If the door is opened and closed without allowing the steps to fully extend, the step

will retract and will stay in that position until the power switch is turned ON and the

door is reopened.
