SteppIR Fluid Motion Beam
Check on Down my Page to see the Progress...from arrival to install - And honestly on Christmas Eve night,
My lovely Wife and I were able to put the STEPPIR 3 Element Boom assembly together as well as set the Motors
and wire this whole assembly (Test Mode, and working as instructed) in about 3 Hrs! Sit Back and most important
"READ FIRST + READ STEP -- BY STEP+ AND FOLLOW EVERY INSTRUCTION"
Together She even commented..."Honey this wasn't so hard to do!"
"Thank you, to my loving, supportive Wife"
"My OPINION" - STEPPIR = 100% SATISFIED.
Update: It's been 3 years now... and I'm still SATISFIED.
This is a Steppir Control Motor

The Fiberglass Steppir Elements assmbled, Taped, and Ready to go!


NOTICE...BECAUSE OF WHAT ANOTHER STEPPIR OWNER HAD WRITTEN THAT i WENT AHEAD
AND I TAPED THE "RUBBER BOOTS" BECAUSE OF CRACKS THEY REPORTED AFTER USING IT AWHILE.
WHAT THE HECK...IT'S ONLY A LITTLE MORE TAPE!!!
