Installation - Shark Clamp System
Insert pinch bolt (Fig.12.B) and tighten to a torque setting of 18 ft lbs/25Nm, ensuring while doing this,
that the retaining nut is at the highest position. Once the bolt is secure, tighten the retaining nut.
Finally tighten the pivot bolt (Fig.12.C) to 9ft lbs/12Nm.
The main mechanical components have now been installed.
Installation - Mechanical Components (AWD Configuration)
To install an All Wheel Drive configuration on your caravan, follow the same instructions outlined in the
previous 'Installation - Mechanical Components' sections. AWD set up follows the exact same process,
with the only difference being the orientation of the movers. In an AWD configuration, the movers
powering the rear axle of the vehicle must be orientated facing the front of the trailer (see Fig.8).
Ensure to follow the AWD configuration section of the Electrical/Electronic installation manual closely
to ensure that these motor assemblies work as intended and not against one another.
Please refer to manual supplied with electronics for wiring installation, operation instructions and
troubleshooting.
Mover Engagement/Disengagement
With the Cara-Move, the process of engaging is a manual one. To engage your motors, place the
engagement tool (6) onto the motor spindle (Fig.2.G) parallel to the ground at a position facing away
from the wheel in question. To engage the motor, rotate the engagement tool through 180deg rotating
toward the wheel in question (Fig.3). If you cross actuation bars have been mounted correctly, the
process of engaging one mover, should subsequently also engage the opposite side of the vehicle.
The engagement mechanism utilises a simple over-centre cam that pushes the rollers onto the tyres
and then locks into place automatically. If the mover has been installed correctly, at exactly 20mm
away from the tyres when disengaged, the amount of force provided onto the tyre by the roller will be
sufficient for most circumstances of use (Fig.5).
Note: Irrespective of which side of the vehicle you are operating the engagement from, the tool should
always rotate toward the wheel to engage, and away from the wheel to disengage.
To disengage the rollers, simply refit the tool onto one of the spindles and rotate away from the tyre.
Please note that you will feel a small amount of resistance initially as you disengage the cam from its
locked position; the spring will then do the rest of the work and pull the roller away from the tyre and
into the fully disengaged position (Fig.4).
