Operation - Hitching and Unhitching

Caution! Please read the operation safety guidelines closely BEFORE to attempting to operate
your caravan mover system.
It is possible to position the caravan's hitch exactly over a stationery car's tow ball using the mover
system, however this should be done with caution.
Use the Directional Thumb Stick (Fig.10.B) on the remote control to bring the caravan to the car. It is
better to reach the tow ball with several short "trips" rather than trying to do it in one "trip". When the
hitch is right above the tow ball of the vehicle, lower the hitch to the ball and engage in the normal way
using the jockey wheel. Hitch the caravan as you would for normal towing. Disengage the movers from
the caravan's tyres (Fig.4).
Do not attempt to tow your vehicle with the Movers engaged! Make sure that both rollers are
fully disengaged. Trying to drive away with the mover still engaged, will damage the mover,
your caravan tyres and strain your tow vehicle!
The Cara-Move II electronics have
a regenerative braking feature that
allows full directional control to be
maintained while moving downhill. This is
achieved by feeding energy under braking
back from the motors into the battery. Some
lithium leisure batteries do not allow this and
when an incompatible battery is detected, the
feature will be automatically disabled within
software to prevent damage. Therefore, when
moving down an incline with an unsupported
battery, manoeuvring is limited. To ensure the
best performance and compatibility on a
lithium battery we recommend only using
approved batteries.
When manourvering is complete,
ensure to apply your vehicle
handbreak prior to disengaging your movers
or turning off your electronics unit or handset.
Never rely on the movers to act as a break.
