Motor and controller versions

How the two complete step packages differ
Lippert 371136 is sold as a Series 26 step assembly with logic control but without a switch kit. Lippert 3711363 is the Series 26 package with a power switch kit. Check your original assembly number, mounting-bolt pattern and the switch arrangement required by your RV.
Before working on the step
Disconnect the step's 12V supply and follow the manufacturer instructions before handling the motor or linkage. A powered step can move unexpectedly. Confirm the complete installed series number and motor/controller generation before installing service parts.
