• 1 x DIY instructions (this manual)

3. Tools Required

For installation, you will need the following basic tools:

• 13mm Socket

4. Installation Instructions

Installation is a bolt-on process and typically requires no drilling or cutting. Professional installation is recommended for safety.

4.1. Pre-Installation Check

• Ensure your vehicle is parked on a flat, stable surface and the engine is off.
• Identify the pre-drilled mounting holes on your vehicle's frame.
• Familiarize yourself with the mounting hardware and brackets. The brackets are not pre-welded to the step bars.

4.2. Attaching Brackets

Attach the appropriate mounting brackets to the vehicle's frame using the provided hardware. It is highly recommended to hand-tighten the bracket bolts only at this stage. This allows for easier adjustment once the running board is in place.

4.3. Mounting the Running Boards

Once the brackets are loosely installed, carefully position the running board onto the brackets. Secure the running board to the brackets using the remaining hardware. Ensure proper alignment before fully tightening all bolts.

4.4. Final Tightening

After the running boards are aligned and all hardware is in place, securely tighten all bolts using the 13mm socket and ratchet. Do not overtighten, but ensure all connections are firm to prevent movement.

5. Usage

The OEDRO 6 Inch Running Boards feature a two-stair layout, providing convenient access for vehicles with lift kits or oversized tires. They also facilitate easier access to the vehicle's rooftop for operations such as loading cargo.

6. Maintenance

To ensure the longevity and appearance of your running boards, regular maintenance is recommended:

• Cleaning: Wash the running boards regularly with mild soap and water to remove dirt, salt, and road grime. Avoid abrasive cleaners or harsh chemicals that could damage the powder coating.
• Inspection: Periodically inspect all mounting hardware for tightness. Re-tighten any loose bolts to ensure the running boards remain securely attached.
• Finish Protection: The unique powder coating offers exceptional rust and corrosion resistance. However, if any damage to the coating occurs, touch-up paint can be used to prevent rust.

7. Troubleshooting

If you encounter any issues with your OEDRO Running Boards, consider the following:

• Loose Running Boards: If the running boards feel loose or unstable, re-check all mounting bolts and ensure they are tightened to the recommended specifications.
• Unusual Noises: Rattling or squeaking noises may indicate loose hardware. Inspect and tighten all bolts and connections.
• Rust or Corrosion: While designed for resistance, prolonged exposure to harsh conditions without cleaning can lead to surface rust. Address any rust spots promptly with appropriate rust treatment and touch-up paint.
