Operation Manual

3
5. After starting up, the Mover moves at one speed only. The
speed will increase a little when going downhill and decrease a
little when going uphill.
6. Move slide switch on remote control to the „Off”
£ position
to switch the remote control and the Mover off.
The slide switch also acts as an „Emergency stop”
switch.
7. After manoeuvring, apply the handbrake first and then
disengage the drive rollers from the tyres.
Hitching to a tow car
1. It is totally possible to position the caravan’s hitch to a
stationary car tow ball using the Mover, but take some care.
2. Use the instructions above as your guide. Use the button
controls to bring the caravan to the car (car handbrake „ON“,
and car in gear). Use a button stabbing technique to exactly
position the hitch directly over the ball. Lower the hitch to the
ball and engage in the normal way using the jockey wheel.
3. Hitch the caravan in the normal way ready for towing. You
cannot tow the caravan with the Mover engaged! Release
drive elements from tyres using wheel spanner before starting
off. Trying to drive away with the Mover still engaged, will da-
mage your caravan tyres and strain your tow vehicle!
Maintenance
The drive units should be kept reasonably clean of road debris.
Clean the area with a hose pipe to release mud, etc. along with
cleaning the caravan. Make sure no large stones, wood bran-
ches, etc. are trapped in the mechanism. There is no more care
than the above required on the drive units. The controllers
require no maintenance. Keep the handset in a dry place.
It is extremely easy for you or your caravan dealer to perform
the checking and maintenance of your Mover during the an-
nual inspection of your caravan. If in doubt, please contact the
Truma-Services (page 9).
1. Upon an annual basis (or before storing the caravan for the
winter) we recommend that you clean the unit as described
above, dry off and lightly spray the drive units and mechanisms
with a silicon lubricant/water repellent. Keep the spray off
the rollers and tyres! Apply and release the drive units a few
times to work the spray into all the joints. Do not store the ca-
ravan with the drive rollers engaged.
2. To prevent the battery from becoming totally discharged
during long periods of inactivity it must be disconnected and
recharged before using again. Repeat section 1 before starting
up and charge the caravan battery.
Checks
1. Always ask your dealer to check the installation each year
when the caravan is serviced.
2. Check the installation, wiring and connections for damage
at regular intervals. The drive units must be able to move freely
and automatically move away from the tyres when released.
If they do not, examine the unit for debris or corrosion at the
pivot points and adjust if necessary. Free all pivots as required,
oil or spray with WD40 to ensure full and correct movement.
3. After the annual inspection, check whether all motors react
properly to the buttons on the remote control.
General instructions
The manufacturer is not liable for damage caused as a result
of incorrect installation or operation.
The driver rollers are guaranteed against manufacturing faults
for 24 months. However, the guarantee does not cover nor-
mal wear or damage caused by sharp-edged objects such as
stones jammed in the tyres.
The Mover has been designed to cope with inclines of up to
approx. 25% bearing a gross weight of 1200 kg or 15% bea-
ring a gross weight of 1700 kg on a suitable surface. Always
consider with care and consideration the action you are going
to take by considering the effort required if you were attemp-
ting the manoeuvre using your tow car.
The Mover cannot overcome obstacles more than approx.
2.0 cm in height without assistance (please use wood wedges).
Due to the nature of a radio signal, it can get corrupted by ex-
ternal terrain or objects. So there may be small areas around
the caravan where the quality of reception reduces, hence the
Mover may stop momentarily.
When the Mover is switched off using the remote control
the relay controller remains in standby. In order to switch
off completely the battery must be disconnected or an
isolating switch installed.
Batteries
We recommend the use of so-called drive and lighting batte-
ries. Gel batteries and round cell batteries are also suitable.
These batteries are designed for high power demands and
have an extremely long service life. The maximum power con-
sumption of the Mover on the steepest incline and carrying
the maximum weight is 120 A. The correct choice of battery
depends on the usage period and the scope of use (other
consumers in caravan). For Mover operation we recommend
batteries with a capacity of approx. 60 Ah or more.
Example:
A fully charged lead-acid battery with a capacity of 60 Ah al-
lows the Mover to be operated for approximately 30 minutes
with a full load (depending on weight of caravan, battery type
and terrain). On level terrain the Mover has average power
consumption of approximately 30 A and therefore an operating
time of approx. 2 hours.
The use of gel batteries or round cell batteries means that
smaller batteries can be used.
Batteries with more capacity allow the equipment to be used
for longer.
We recommend the use of chargers with the IuoU characte-
ristic curve (e.g. Truma battery charger NT 12/ 3-18, Art. no.
39901-01), which prevent the battery from being damaged
because of overcharging, for example.
Trouble-shooting
In the event of a fault, please contact your dealer or the Truma-
Service (see page 9).
Before calling customer service, please check the following:
1. Are the batteries in the remote handset in good condition?
2. Is the caravan battery in good condition and fully charged?
Do not use the Mover if the battery voltage is below 10.2 V DC.
