How to operate your minibus side step is a common question we get asked every day, especially with the variety of options available. At Minibus World, we offer three types of side steps to suit different needs: a manual side step for straightforward use, an automatic sidestep for added convenience, and a twin fold-out sidestep designed for greater assisted access. Each type has its own benefits, and knowing how to use them correctly ensures safer, entering for all passengers.
1. Simply press the pedal located to the right of the side step to release it.
2. Board all passengers once the side step is ready.
3. To stow the side step, push tread in with a slight upward force with toes on the red line until it’s safely in place underneath the minibus.
1. Click the switch located to the right of the steering wheel to turn on the automatic side step.
2. Simply open the side door and the step will come out from underneath the minibus.
3. Once finished boarding, just close the side door and the step will return to underneath the bus.
1. To fold out the step, hold both left and right grab poles, slightly lift and pull out the side step.
2. Board passengers once the step is safely folded out.
3. To stow the fold out step away, simply hold both left and right grab poles and lift the step up until it’s safely back into place inside the minibus.
