To service: manually deploy the step by opening the door and holding foot pressure on the step while closing the door. Pressure-wash the front and rear linkages at all 4 hinge points, avoiding direct spray on the motors. After washing, apply silicone spray (dry film lubricant) only to the linkage arms and pivot pins, then cycle the door. Do not apply silicone, wax, protectants (e.g., Armor All), greases, oils, WD-40, or penetrants beyond the specified silicone spray.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eThe Obsidian Take\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003ePowerStep earns its keep on a Sprinter by solving two problems at once: ground clearance while driving and a real step when the door opens. The single-motor deploy system and 600 lb load rating hold up to daily use as a work van running board, and the die-cast aluminum construction with stainless hinge hardware is built for the corrosion exposure that comes with year-round use. The trade-off is mechanical complexity — this is a motorized, hinge-and-linkage system, not a fixed bar, so it requires the periodic cleaning and lubrication routine outlined above to avoid binding.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eThis Product Is For You If\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eYou drive a 2010–2018 Mercedes-Benz Sprinter and want a running board that disappears when not needed\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eYou want factory-style automatic deploy\/retract rather than a fixed step\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eYou're comfortable with (or plan to follow) the periodic pressure-wash-and-lubricate maintenance routine\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eThis Product Is Not For You If\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eYour Sprinter is a 2019 or newer model year — this SKU will not work due to electronics incompatibility\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eYou want a zero-maintenance, purely mechanical fixed step\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eYour vehicle was not manufactured to U.S. OEM specifications\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCommon Questions\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cem\u003eDoes this fit my 2019 Sprinter?\u003c\/em\u003e No — this SKU does not work on 2019+ models due to an electronics compatibility issue.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cem\u003eIs drilling required?\u003c\/em\u003e No.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cem\u003eWhat's included?\u003c\/em\u003e A driver-side and passenger-side board, vehicle-specific mounting kit, and install guide.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cem\u003eCan I manually control deployment?\u003c\/em\u003e Yes, with the separately sold Override Switch accessory.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eManufacturer Data Disclaimer\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eSpecifications and fitment are sourced from AMP Research (a RealTruck brand) manufacturer documentation for SKU 76263-01A.
