DIRTYBARS INSTALLATION GUIDE.

Park the vehicle on a level surface and disconnect the negative battery terminal.

Lay out all supplied components and compare them with the parts list before beginning installation.

If fitted, remove the factory side steps and any brackets attached to the vehicle.

Clean the mounting surfaces to ensure the new brackets sit flush against the body.

Attach the supplied reinforced iron mounting brackets using the factory mounting locations.

Do not fully tighten the hardware at this stage, allowing for minor adjustment once the side steps are fitted.

Lift each DirtyBars assembly onto the mounting brackets.

Install all mounting bolts and align the steps so they sit level with the vehicle.

Once aligned, tighten all hardware to the recommended torque.

Mount the electric motors to each side step assembly as shown in the installation video.

Ensure each motor is fully seated and the drive mechanism rotates freely without binding.

Run the supplied wiring harness along the chassis/body following existing factory wiring where possible.

Secure the harness using the supplied cable ties while keeping it clear of:

• Exhaust components
• Moving suspension parts
• Steering components
• Sharp edges

Mount the Smart ECU inside the engine bay in a dry, protected location.

Ensure all connectors are easily accessible before securing the ECU.

Connect the positive power cable to the battery positive terminal.

Connect the earth cable to a suitable chassis grounding point.

Reconnect the negative battery terminal once all wiring is complete.

Connect the supplied trigger harness to the vehicle's door sensor wiring as outlined for your specific model.

This allows the side steps to automatically deploy when a door is opened and retract once all doors are closed.

Plug each motor into the corresponding ECU connectors.

Check that all electrical connectors are fully locked into place before testing.

Open each door individually and confirm:

• Side steps deploy smoothly
• Side steps retract completely
• Motors operate quietly
• No wiring interferes with moving components

If required, slightly loosen the mounting hardware and adjust the position of the steps until the gaps are even on both sides of the vehicle.

Retighten all mounting hardware once satisfied.

Secure any remaining loose wiring using cable ties.

Double-check that no wiring can rub, stretch or contact hot or moving components.

Before driving the vehicle:

• Confirm all bolts are fully tightened
• Check all electrical connections
• Verify the anti-pinch function operates correctly
• Confirm the manual override button functions correctly
• Perform several open/close cycles to ensure smooth operation
