Capacité de poids :

• Each running board has a maximum weight limit of 300 livres. Exceeding this limit may compromise the integrity of the running board and its mounting system.

Entretien

Proper maintenance will ensure the longevity and appearance of your running boards.

Nettoyage:

• Regularly clean the running boards with mild soap and water to remove dirt, mud, and road grime.
• Avoid using abrasive cleaners, harsh chemicals, or stiff brushes, as these can damage the textured powder coat finish.
• Rincer abondamment à l'eau claire et sécher avec un chiffon doux pour éviter les taches d'eau.

Protection contre la corrosion :

The running boards feature an E-coating and heavy textured powder finish designed to resist rust and corrosion. This multi-layer protection helps to keep moisture and dirt away from the carbon steel structure.

Inspection:

• Periodically inspect all mounting hardware for tightness. Re-tighten any loose bolts to ensure the running boards remain secure.
• Check for any signs of damage or wear on the running boards or step pads.

Dépannage

Problèmes d'installation :

• Misaligned Brackets/Holes: If brackets do not align perfectly with vehicle holes, ensure all bolts are kept loose during initial assembly. This allows for minor adjustments to align components before final tightening. Verify that the correct brackets are used for each position (front, middle, rear).
• Difficulty with Threaded Holes: For older vehicles, factory threaded holes may accumulate rust or debris. It may be necessary to clean or re-tap these holes before installation.
• Incorrect Cab Type: Double-check that your vehicle is an Access Cab. These running boards are not designed for Double Cab or Regular Cab models, and attempting to install them on an incompatible cab type will result in fitment issues. Refer to the compatibility section and image for clarification.

Questions générales:

• Loose Running Boards: If running boards feel unstable, inspect all mounting bolts and re-tighten them to the recommended torque specifications.
• Bruits inhabituels : Rattling or squeaking may indicate loose hardware. Inspect and tighten all connections.
