A Kwikee Series 32 electric entry step uses a motor-driven gearbox and curved A-style linkage to extend and retract its double treads. The factory drawings below show how the motor, linkage, gears and attachment pins fit together, with replacement parts you can compare by number.
Kwikee electric step motor and curved-linkage diagram
Lippert's factory exploded parts drawing identifies the A-style gearbox and linkage used by Series 32. Compare the motor plug, linkage shape and original part number before selecting service components.

Check the original step and motor/controller generation before replacing the newer IMGL-II motor. The full original Lippert diagram is available using the manual link below.
Why the step's motor generation matters
Kwikee has used different motor and controller generations. The current IMGL-II drive was introduced for 2019-and-newer production. On many 2006–2018 IMGL systems, replacing a failed original motor or controller requires the corresponding upgraded pair, not just whichever later motor looks similar.
See the factory motor/controller replacement chart by generation
Use the manufacturer table to check whether your step predates 2006, uses a 2006–2018 IMGL system, or has a 2019-and-newer IMGL-II drive. Different versions may need a complete motor-and-controller upgrade.

Before removing or replacing an electric step
Retracting steps can move unexpectedly when powered. Disconnect 12V power before mechanical work. Use the Lippert instructions for motor timing, linkage assembly, controller connections and the correct step-frame mounting pattern.
