EN INSTRUCTIONS
Readthisinstallationinstructionandthesafetyinstructionsinappendixthoroughly.
No guarantee will be allowed for damages caused by wrong installation or operation.
 Followthewiringdiagramforallelectricalinstallation!
1 - Extend the step
ConnecttheThuleStepmotortoa12VDCBattery.Placethepurplewireonthepositivepoleandthe
orange wire on the negative pole.
 Cuttheconnectionwhenthestepisfullyextended.
 Warning:DonotkeeptheThuleStepmotorundertensionformorethan2-3seconds!
2 - Requirements

InordertomeettheEN1646-1(motorhomes)andEN1645-1(caravans)requirements,thestep should not be
more than 400 mm from the ground and should be 300 mm at the most from the next step, when extended.
3 - Installation of the Thule Step

Theseinstallationinstructionsaresuggestionsonly.Dependingonthevehicletype,theinstallation
requirementsmayvary:
a. Rightthroughthevehiclebottom.
b. In rails incorporated in the chassis.
c. On a special construction welded or bolted to the chassis.
• Contactyourlocaldealerormanufacturerbeforedrilling,tomakesurethattherearenoobstaclesat
the inside (for example electric cables, gas pipes and so on).
• Drillfour9mmholesaccordingtothecoordinatesshowninthedimensionsdrawing.UseholeAorB
onbothsides.Keepinmindthatwhenretracted,thefootboardis60mmoutsidetheframe.
• Ensurethattheinstallationismadesothatthereisnoclampingdanger(fingers,toesetc.)whenthe
step is extended or retracted.
• InstalltheThuleStepinadismountableway.
4 - Check the operation of the step
• Placethepurplewireonthenegativepoleandtheorangewireonthepositivepoleofthebatteryfor
the step to retract.
• Placethepurplewireonthepositivepoleandtheorangewireonthenegativepoleofthebatteryfor
the step to extend.
5 - Install the operating switch (S1)
Install the switch near the door for easy access. Drill a 48 mm hole in the closet wall (most common).
Mounttheswitchwithfourscrewsand"click"thecoverplateinplace.
6 - Standard installation
• Placetwo2,5mm2wiresfromthebatterytotheswitch(S1)viaa16Afuseinthepositiveconduc-
tion. In order to prevent short circuit, do not insert the fuse in the fuse holder until all the electrical connections
are completed.
• PlacethepurpleandtheorangewirefromtheThuleStepmotortotheswitch(S1).
• Providethewiresfortheswitch(S1)withflatconnectors4,8Fandconnectthem.
• Aswitch(S2),whichispushedinwhenthestepisretracted,isincorporatedintheThuleStep.
A warning light (L) that is turned on if the step is not fully retracted and the engine is running, must
beconnectedtothisswitch(S2).Connecttheaccessoriesclamp,position1oftheignitionkey(S3),
viathewarninglight(L)tothegreyswitchwire.Connectthebrownswitchwiretothenegativepole of the same
battery as the positive current is taken from.
• Completetheelectricalconnectionsandinsertthe16AfuseinthefuseholderandtheThuleStepis
now ready to use.
7 - Installation with auxiliary relay for automatic retraction
 InordertomeettheEMCstandards2004/108/EC,anauxiliaryrelaythatpreventsoperationofthe
ThuleStepandkeepsitretractedwhilstdrivingisinstalled.
• Placetwo2,5mm2wiresfromthebatterytotheswitch(S1)viaa16Afuseinthepositiveconduc-
tion. In order to prevent short circuit, do not insert the fuse in the fuse holder until all the electrical connections
are completed.
• Mounttherelayatasuitableplace.
• PlacethepurplewirefromtheThuleStepmotortotheswitch(S1)andtheorangewiretotherelay.
• Providethewiresfortheswitch(S1)withflatconnectors4,8Fandthewiresfortherelaywithflat
