Care and Maintenance
To ensure the longevity and appearance of your YITAMOTOR Drop Running Boards, follow these maintenance guidelines:
- Regular Cleaning: Clean the running boards regularly with mild soap and water to remove dirt, road salt, and debris. Avoid abrasive cleaners or harsh chemicals that could damage the finish.
- Inspect for Damage: Periodically inspect the running boards and mounting hardware for any signs of damage, loose bolts, or corrosion. Tighten any loose fasteners immediately.
- Protective Finish: The running boards feature a powder-coated surface over an E-coat layer and steel material, designed for rust resistance and durability. While highly resistant, extreme conditions or physical damage can compromise this protection.
Troubleshooting
If you encounter issues with your running boards, consider the following:
- Loose Fit: If the running boards feel loose, re-check all mounting bolts and ensure they are tightened to the manufacturer's specifications. Over time, vibrations can cause bolts to loosen.
- Corrosion/Rust: While designed to be rust-resistant, prolonged exposure to harsh elements (e.g., road salt, extreme humidity) or damage to the powder coating can lead to corrosion. Regular cleaning and inspection, especially after exposure to corrosive materials, can help prevent this. Address any chips or scratches in the coating promptly to prevent rust from spreading.
- Unusual Noises: If you hear rattling or squeaking, inspect all contact points between the running board, brackets, and vehicle frame. Ensure no components are rubbing or loose.
For persistent issues not resolved by these steps, please contact customer support.
