Designed as a match for many Kwikee series (22, 23, 28A, 30, 32–36, 38, 40), the kit includes a sealed gearbox, a torque‑rated motor, a control assembly and two wired door\/window contact sensors. All components arrive ready to fit, helping restore automatic extend\/retract behavior while improving corrosion resistance and gear alignment.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eHow will this kit restore automatic step operation?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe included 676061 step motor delivers strong turning force for dependable extension and retraction. The control unit coordinates motor action with the door contact sensors so the step moves when the door opens and retracts when it closes. Built‑in safety stops halt extension if the step meets an obstruction.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eMotor model 676061 provides high torque for smooth movement\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eControl Unit Assembly (379146) synchronizes motor and sensors\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eWired door\/window contacts trigger automatic extend\/retract\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eObstacle detection stops motor to prevent damage\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eWhat makes the gearbox and linkage durable for outdoor use?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe gearbox for the A curved linkage (379160) is produced from heavy‑gauge steel and features semi‑sealed housings that keep gears aligned and resist moisture.
