<p> INTRODUCTION</p><p>Your step purchase represents the very latest technological advances/updates for this type of product. Incorporating several innovative features with the 3 greatest advantages being;</p><p> a) a thin 2.5” thick aircraft aluminum anti-slip extrusion base offering best in class road clearance (particularly useful on uneven road, ramps, and sudden incline/decline changes), strength and durability; </p><p> b) a rotational opening pivot system with sealed auto-lubricating long life bearings all galvanized against corrosion and; </p><p> c) select plastic parts made of a high temperature DuPont polymer. </p><p>Two sources of light are installed on both sides of the front face projecting the light laterally and to the ground below the step providing additional safety during night operation both for passengers and on-coming vehicles. Special sealed lighting lenses keep the bulbs waterproof while offering easy access for maintenance purposes. The extension force is electronically controlled to prevent possible injuries and a warning light on the driver’s dashboard signals in the event the step has not retracted. Should your vehicles 12V power ever fail while the step is in its extended position, the unit may be manually retracted/stowed in its closed position by sliding the manual override pin and pushing it inwards by hand. </p><p>Your step is ideally suited for a variety of transport applications including all social services, airport/hotel shuttles and ambulatory among others due its robust design supporting up to 660lbs. Europe’s best selling step has the vast majority currently in service with in excess of 230,000 cycles (230,000 represents 65 operations a day under load consecutively for 10 years).</p><p>Due to the extensive engineering of this rotational step design coupled with it’s unique auto-lubricating bearing feature – your step should prove to be trouble free when compared to those operating systems found on cassette steps that often fall victim to the collection of dust, dirt, ice or snow experiencing reduced efficiency often ending in slide seizures. </p>
