I do not see that the Kwikee Revolution series steps can be adjusted. I did find the following instructions about maintaining and lubing the moving parts of the step which may help your issues.

Step Motor Assembly Lubrication
Clean all mud, salt, and road grime from the step before lubricating. Lubricate all moving parts (bearings, pivot points, slides, clevis pin, and drive linkage ball) every 30 days with a good quality moisture and heat resistant penetrating grease. KwikLube™ Spray Grease is specially formulated to lubricate Kwikee® Electric Steps and is recommended for lubricating all moving parts. Refer to the figures below for lubrication locations.
Note: Silicone lubricants and WD-40® are not recommended as they have a tendency to evaporate and dry the mating surfaces which leave them vulnerable to the elements.
1. On the square shaft bearing, lubricate around outside and under head of bearing.
2. On step models equipped with a plastic cover, this cover will have to be removed to lubricate center bearings. Lubricate bearings under cover every 90 days.
3. Lubricate around the bushing-in-bushings.
4. Maintain clean, dry electrical connections at the 2-way and 4-way connectors and any butt connections leading from the 4 connectors on the vehicle. A small dab of dielectric grease at the connections and replacing corroded butt connections with heat shrink type crimp style automotive connectors will help maintain a good electrical source for the step.

If that still doesn't work there is likely something damaged on the step and you may need to replace it with the Single # LC3726041 or Double # LC3725791 replacement assembly.
