Step Cylinder

[Mike Hohnstein]

It's a great idea to disconnect the cylinder from the step assembly so you can
cycle it with out the real danger of the step kicking your butt.

Gene you might check a couple of things.

1. For some strange reason the factory could not explain my 1982 FC35 does
not nor has it ever had the two microswitches that turn the step on and
off. Mine has one microswitch that only turns the dash light on and off.
You might check if your coach has the two switches. They will be located on
a vertical part of the step towards the back. One of them has a dual
purpose to turn the light on and off on the dash when the step is extended
or retracted.

3. The two solenoids turn the air off to the air solenoid when the step is
extended or retracted. When you view the two switches (if you have them)
you can tell which is which.

3. You can remove the air soldnoid at the back of the step and take it
apart and clean it thoroughly and then replace the O rings. Put it back
together.

4. . If you have the two microswitches and they are adjusted properly then
your step should work now.

5. If it still leaks and you do not have the two microswitches then you
need to install them. The wiring is easy. If you need help I can tell you
how to wire them.
