4. Installation Instructions
Installation is a bolt-on process and typically requires no drilling or cutting. Professional installation is recommended for optimal results, but DIY installation is feasible with proper tools and care.

- Prepare Vehicle: Park your vehicle on a level surface and engage the parking brake. For safety, consider disconnecting the battery.
- Identify Mounting Points: Locate the pre-drilled mounting holes on your vehicle's frame or rocker panel. These are typically found along the underside of the vehicle where the running boards will attach.
- Attach Brackets to Running Boards: Identify the correct brackets for each running board (front, middle, rear). Secure the brackets to the running boards using the provided hex bolts, flat washers, and lock washers. Do not fully tighten at this stage.
- Mount Running Boards to Vehicle: Carefully lift each running board assembly into position. Align the brackets with the vehicle's mounting points. Use the remaining hardware (clip nuts, bolts, washers) to attach the brackets to the vehicle.
- Adjust and Tighten: Once all bolts are loosely installed, adjust the running boards for proper alignment and desired position. Ensure they are level and evenly spaced from the vehicle body. Once satisfied with the positioning, progressively tighten all bolts to the manufacturer's recommended torque specifications.
- Final Check: Double-check all connections to ensure they are secure. Test the stability of the running boards by applying pressure.
Note: Some vehicle models may require minor adjustments or specific bracket orientations. Refer to any included diagrams for precise placement.
5. Maintenance
Proper maintenance will extend the life and appearance of your running boards.
- Regular Cleaning: Clean the running boards regularly with mild soap and water. Avoid abrasive cleaners or harsh chemicals that could damage the finish or textured surface.
- Inspect Fasteners: Periodically check all mounting bolts and fasteners to ensure they remain tight. Re-tighten if necessary to prevent loosening due to vibrations or road conditions.
- Surface Inspection: Inspect the textured surface for any signs of wear or damage that could compromise its anti-slip properties.

6. Troubleshooting
If you encounter issues during installation or use, consider the following:
- Misaligned Holes: If mounting holes do not align perfectly, double-check that you have the correct running board (left/right) and the correct bracket for the specific mounting point (front/middle/rear). Slight adjustments may be possible before fully tightening.
- Loose Fit: Ensure all bolts are tightened securely. Over time, bolts can loosen, requiring re-tightening.
- Missing or Damaged Parts: Verify all parts against the parts list before starting installation. Contact customer support immediately if any parts are missing or damaged.
- Difficulty with Bolt Length: If bolts appear too short to accommodate all washers, ensure you are using the correct bolts for the specific connection. In some cases, slight compression of lock washers may be needed, or ensure the mounting surface is clear of obstructions.
