• Load Capacity: Each running board is rated for a maximum weight capacity of 500 pounds. Do not exceed this limit to ensure safety and product integrity.

6. Maintenance

Regular maintenance will ensure the longevity and optimal performance of your COMNOVA running boards.

• Cleaning: Clean the running boards regularly with mild soap and water. Avoid abrasive cleaners or harsh chemicals that could damage the powder coating. Rinse thoroughly and dry to prevent water spots.
• Inspection: Periodically inspect all mounting hardware for tightness. Vibrations from driving can sometimes loosen bolts over time. Re-tighten any loose bolts to ensure the running boards remain securely attached to the vehicle.
• Damage Check: Check for any signs of damage, such as dents, cracks, or significant scratches to the powder coating. Address any damage promptly to prevent further deterioration or rust.

7. Troubleshooting

If you encounter any issues with your running boards, consider the following troubleshooting steps:

• Loose Running Board: If a running board feels loose or unstable, immediately check all mounting bolts and brackets. Re-tighten any loose hardware. Ensure the brackets are correctly seated on the vehicle's frame studs.
• Difficulty Installing: Double-check that your vehicle is indeed a Ford Ranger Super Crew Cab (2019-2026) with 4 full-size doors. Refer to the installation instructions and diagrams to ensure all components are oriented correctly. The slider design allows for adjustment; ensure it is utilized for proper alignment.
• Unusual Noises: If you hear rattling or other unusual noises, inspect the running boards and mounting hardware for any loose components or contact points with the vehicle's undercarriage.
