PROCEDURE:

REMOVE CONTENTS FROM BOX. VERIFY ALL PARTS ARE PRESENT. READ INSTRUCTIONS CAREFULLY BEFORE STARTING INSTALLATION. ASSISTANCE IS RECOMMENDED.

1. Start the installation under the driver side of the vehicle. Locate the front factory running board mounting location along the inner side of the body, (Figure 1).

2. Slide (1) Plastic Washer over each of the (3) factory mounting studs in the body panel, (Figures 2 & 3). IMPORTANT: The Plastic Washers are designed to prevent corrosion between the aluminum body panel and the steel mounting brackets. Do not install the Brackets without the Plastic Washers.

3. Select (1) Mounting Bracket. NOTE: All (6) Brackets are universal and will fit left or right side. Attach the Mounting Bracket to the (3) factory studs with (3) 8mm Flat Washers and (3) 8mm Nylon Lock Nuts, (Figures 4 & 5). Leave brackets loose at this time.

4. Repeat Steps 1—3 to install the center and rear driver side Brackets, (Figure 8).

5. Carefully unwrap and select the driver/left Running Board. Place the Running Board on top of the Brackets. Locate the channels in the bottom of the Running Board. Select (3) 6mm Double Bolt Plates, (Figure 6). Insert the Bolt Plates into the channels in the bottom of the Running Board closest to the Brackets, (Figure 7). Lift the Running Board up and guide the studs through the Brackets.

6. Attach the Running Board to the Brackets with (6) 6mm Flat Washers, (6) 6mm Lock Washers and (6) 6mm Hex Nuts, (Figure 8). NOTE: The Running Board is designed to fit close to the vehicle. It may be necessary to loosen the Bracket hardware slightly and tilt the Brackets downward to insert the Running Board between the Brackets and the body.

7. Level and adjust the Running Board as necessary and fully tighten all hardware.

8. Repeat Steps 1—7 for the passenger side Running Board installation.

9. Do periodic inspections to the installation to make sure that all hardware is secure and tight.

To protect your investment, wax this product after installing. Regular waxing is recommended to add a protective layer over the finish. Do not use any type of polish or wax that may contain abrasives that could damage the finish. Mild soap may be used also to clean the Running Board.
