The EN
EM505FL manoeuvring system is suitable for both single axle and twin axle caravans. You just
DURO
need to pull the single/twin axle function switch (Fig 14S/T) on the control unit, so that the manoeuvring
system can be used for a single axle caravan or a twin axle caravan (for 2 motor use but also for 4 motor use).
In the twin axle function the all wheels will drive but at a different speed.
The switch standard pre-selected for single axle use (Fig 14S). For twin axle use, just move the switch to the
twin axle position (Fig. 14T). When move the single/twin axle function switch, the battery power isolation
switch must be turned off.
OPERATION – GETTING STARTED
Please make sure you read the safety instructions very carefully and make sure that you
follow these guidelines!
Make sure that the battery that supplies the system is fully charged and in good condition.
Make sure that the caravan is free from the vehicle and the handbrake is on. Also make sure
that the corner steady feet are fully raised.
Turn on the battery power isolation switch (28).
Activate the manoeuvring system by moving slide switch (Fig. 13A) on the remote handset up. The power LED
(Fig. 13Q), the manoeuvring system LED (Fig. 13V) and the communication LED (Fig. 13H) on the remote
handset will illuminate and you will hear a short beep. The remote handset is ready for use.
Press at the same time, during at least three seconds, the two buttons for engaging the motor powered rollers
(Fig. 13I). The blue LED (Fig. 13H) will blink fast during these three seconds and every second there will be a
beep. This warns you that the system will be activated!
After these three seconds the motor powered rollers will be pressed against the tyre and the blue LED will
illuminate constant. Now you can release the two buttons. When the motor powered rollers are pressed on the
tyre strongly enough, you hear a short beep, the blue LED will switch off and is the system ready to
manoeuvre. The colour of the traction indicator (Fig. 10A) should be into the green area.
Before operating the manoeuvring system, release the handbrake.
Now you can choose the movements according the symbols shown on the remote handset. Straight forward
(Fig. 13B), straight reverse (Fig. 13C), left forward (Fig. 13D), left reverse (Fig. 13F), right forward (Fig. 13E),
right reverse (Fig. 13G).
In addition, the left forward (Fig. 13D) and right reverse (Fig. 13G) buttons or right forward (Fig. 13E) and left
reverse (Fig. 13F) buttons may be pressed at the same time to turn the caravan around on its own axis without
moving forward or backward (this function just can work under the "single-axle function").
When you drive straight forwards or reverse (press button 13B or 13C), it is also possible to adjust the
direction by additional pressing button 13D or 13E (when driving forwards) or button 13F or 13G (when driving
reverse).
Because of the "soft start" technology, the caravan will slowly speed up. Because of the "soft stop" technology,
the caravan will stop slowly. This allows you to manoeuvre your caravan even more accurately without any
shocks.
WARNING: When the buttons on the remote handset are released, the caravan will slowly
stop after 0.5 second and continue to move about 6cm (depending on final speed). When
the buttons of the remote handset are released when the system is still in the "soft start"
stage (slowly speed up), the caravan will stop immediately.
After the "soft start" stage the caravan moves according one fixed speed. The speed can increase a little when
going downhill and decrease a little when going uphill.
TIP: The manoeuvring system is more efficient when reversing the caravan up an incline.
During manoeuvring you can already see if your caravan is level. The display shows by orange and red LEDs
which side is the lowest. This is made visible in the longitudinal direction (front/rear) and in the width direction
(left/right). With the aid of the jockey wheel, the "longitudinal direction" level to be adjusted, and with the help
of, for example, a drive block or leveller under the wheel, the "width direction" level can be adjusted. If the
caravan is level (approximate) only the green centre LED will light up.
You can also level the caravan automatically by using the Finding Level function. See the separate chapter
OPERATION – Finding Level for this.
