Expert Reply:
To install the Alumi-Tread steps # LC432698 you will need four 3/8"-16 x 1" grade 2 bolts and 4 matching nuts. Two self-tapping 1" x 1/4" screws will also be needed if using step support brackets. Hardware is not included. Lippert's installation instructions are as follows:
Take off the existing step by removing the lag bolts, which secure the step to the floor, and the step bolts from the outriggers. NOTE: If the existing step has a support bracket, remove
the screws securing the step to the bracket.
1. Verify the location and squareness of the step outriggers.
2. Make sure the step is completely backed up against the frame (I-beam).
NOTE: Some OEM designs allow the steps to rest against the I-beam and lag directly to the web of the beam. Other designs include step supports and, if supports are present, steps should be completely backed up against the step supports on the frame (angle or tube).
3. Align holes in the step with holes in the outrigger. Insert two bolts and flange lock nuts per side.
Tighten only until snug to allow for adjustments.
4. Verify that the step housing is square, level to the outrigger and plumb to the chassis.
5. Once verified, tighten the bolts to 20 ft-lbs of torque.
NOTE: If step support brackets are located on the step, they should be secured to the chassis I-beam or step support angles on the chassis by one 1" x 1/4" self-tapping screw per each side of the step.
NOTE: The adjustable step bracket is optional and may not be included on all steps.
6. Attach lag bolt or bolts to the floor through the outer end holes in the outrigger as per manufacturer's recommendations.
