Tighten the step to the motor bracket using a 5mm Allen to 14ft/lbs. 30 Place the magnet on the vehicle door aligned with the module. (Shown on the passenger side) for aluminum door vehicles this can be done with painter's tape to test and ensure it will work correctly. See Photos 15 and 16. 31. Ensure the On-Off switch is in the ON position. Now test the front and rear doors on the right and left side of the vehicle. If each one works correctly, the magnets are in line with the module. Mark the magnets position on each of the 4 doors, remove the covering from the double sided tape and stick the magnet to the door in the marked position. NOTE: The On-Off switch will remain in the On position for normal use. We recommend the switch be in the Off position in icy or off roading conditions to prevent binding or damage to the step board, motor or motor bracket.
