Entry Step

[Stephen Birtles]

On our 77 pretty basic also it is wired to a 4 way valve
push the door button in step goes up let the button out step comes out
speed regulation is done on the valve itself by way of controlling the
speed of the air exhausting
It has no micro or mercury switches just the valve
the only caveat is as with all other bird steps don't be too close when
the step comes out it will knock you on your butt
look for the wiring on your on the inside wall of the generator bay
there should be a ice cube relay thats where to start
if you plan it it out and ask questions here and proceed with
moderation you will be able to do it yourself
All the parts are available from various sources
Randy Dupree has a line on the ram and the valve the relay is
available at a good supply house potter and bromfeld ice cube double
ice cube
if you need a hand give me a call 905 328 0162
