Air Step Problem? - birdshill123 - 11-06-2006 14:16 When I park my 88 FC35 I always turn off both master electrical switches. I switch the step to be locked in. It stays in for a day or less then when I return to the unit the step is out. Is that normal or do I have a leak somewhere? Bruce 1988 FC35 Air Step Problem? - Pete Masterson - 11-06-2006 14:32 When the air pressure drops off, the step comes out. That's normal. Pete Masterson aeonix1@...

A forum member parked his new to him 91SP inches from a curb and came out a day later to find that the step extended and then the air bags deflated, resting the bus on the extended step. This is why it is important to park with your steer wheels set straight. If not, models like the 94Pt will rest down on the tires and damage the body.

It droops to about a 2/3 out position, which is not very convenient. Any fixes?

I had assumed that was "normal". Maybe not. Don 87FC35 Jensen Beach FL [Non-text portions of this message have been removed] Air Step Problem? - RWW - 11-07-2006 02:28 I believe the step design is to open once the air pressure at the pressure switch drops below 90 psi.

The ram on my 94pt is not servicable.

Mine never moves by itself, air or not. Only when I tell it to.

Mine extends to a fully locked position as the air bleeds off. Pete Masterson aeonix1@...
