Suspension
To significantly reduce body roll, sag and sway Torklift strongly recommends the
StableLoad. Torklift International StableLoads improve safety, handling, and to
help level your truck. More information can be found at
(www.Torklift.com/stableload).
If your truck is additionally equipped with suspension air bags Torklift cautions
against over pressurization as this may lead to unsafe vehicle handling
characteristics. We have found that airbags used in conjunction with StableLoads
have allowed operators to lower air bag pressure by 50% or more. Only pressurize
suspension air bags enough to level the truck.
Warning: Fire Danger
Some entry doors are equipped with a gas strut or other device
limiting the travel of the door. In some cases, these devices are
installed to prevent the door from opening against a heat
source such as a furnace or hot water heater exhaust. If this is
the case on your RV, do not install the GlowStep Revolution
Uprising. Installation may result in a fire danger.

Installation
Step 1
•Open the RV door as wide as possible. The door will need to open
well passed 90 degrees to be able to install, store, and deploy the
step system.
•If the door is equipped with a gas strut limiting its travel, read the
fire danger warning at the beginning of this manual. If the warning
does not apply to your RV, the gas strut will need to be removed
before continuing. Any remaining hardware on the threshold
molding will need to be removed.
•If equipped, remove the threshold kick molding just inside the door
frame. (See Figure 1.1)
Figure 1.1

Step 2
•Remove the GlowStep Revolution Uprising (GSRU) from the
packaging.
•Extend the steps to their fully open position. Move the lower step
latch lever to the right to unlock the lower step. (See figure 2.1)
•Rest the main bracket inside the door frame. If required, adjust the
All-Terrain Landing Gear to allow the main bracket to sit against the
floor inside of the threshold molding.
Step 3
•Install the right-hand side mounting bracket to the main bracket as
shown in Figure 3.1. Leave the hardware loose enough to slide in
the slotted hole in the mounting bracket.

•Repeat the process for the left-hand side mounting bracket.
Step 4
•Center the GSRU in the door frame. It is important that it is as
centered as possible.
•Slide the GSRU toward the outside until the two mounting brackets
touch the inside of the door frame. Make sure the mounting
brackets are flush against the floor.
•Using the slots in the mounting brackets as a guide, drill three
7/32” holes through both the left and right door frame flange. (See
Figure 4.1.)

the inside of the door until the vertical portion of the main bracket
contacts the threshold molding. (See figure 6.1)

hardware holding the main bracket to each mounting bracket to 25
in-lbs (2.8 Nm)
•Installation is complete.

Operating the Steps
Storing the GlowStep Revolution Uprising:
Collapse the steps
•Open the door as far as possible, it will need to be opened well
passed 90 degrees.
•Lift up on the bottom step until the Main Bracket begins to
rotate up.
•Push the bottom step towards the RV to collapse the steps. The
studs on the sides of the steps should engage in the slots on the
main bracket. (See Figure A.1)
•If the bottom step is deployed, move the lever to the right, then
collapse the step.

Store the steps
•Rotate the collapsed steps up and into the RV.
•Slide the safety latch to the right. The safety latch will keep the
steps from rotating back out. (See Figure A.2)
•Close the door.
•NOTE: Screen door to door frame flange clearances do vary. In
some instances, it may be necessary to modify the screen door
frame to allow it to fully close. Please refer to Screen Door
Modification section on page 15.
