3607 steps, new storage

[km1125]

On my 3607, the bottom step is hinged so you have access to the battery and fuel switches mounted inside.

I noticed that there seemed to be a gap under the second step, so when I was re-doing the carpet on the steps I decided to unscrew that step and check it out. Sure enough, there is a compartment there that's two steps high and one step deep. So I bought a piano hinge and now both steps open up for access.

I'm thinking of moving my battery and fuel switched up to that second step. I've been wanting to reconfigure the battery switch, as it's just a 1-all-2-off switch. It would be nicer to not have to bend as far down to check or switch either the battery or fuel too, and then I can use the lower step just for pure storage.

Here's some pics (they open farther but all I had handy to hold them open were small flashlights) :

Good find.....you know which way you are headed when you are searching for ways to not bend over quite as far.... .....
