Maintenance - Carbest Cara-Move Manuel D'utilisation

Operation - Manoeuvring
The mover soft start feature of the motors means that for the first 2.5 seconds, the movers will operate
at a lower speed. Note that the general speed can increase a little when going downhill and decrease
a little when going uphill. The mover is more efficient when reversing the caravan up an incline.
After manoeuvring, apply the handbrake before disengaging the drive rollers from the tyres. Turn off
the system by double-clicking the power button (Fig.13.A) on the remote control. The indication LED
(Fig.13.B) on the remote control will turn off. Turn off the Battery Power Isolation Switch to cut power
to the electronics control box(es).
Store remote control and isolation key in a safe place (out of reach of children or other unauthorised
people).
Some mover models 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 manoeuvring is complete, ensure to apply your vehicle hand break prior to
disengaging your movers or turning off your electronics unit or handset. Never rely on the
movers to act as a break.
Hitching an Unhitching
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 movement buttons 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 (see Operation - Mover Engagement/Disengagement).
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!

Maintenance

To prevent your leisure battery from becoming totally discharged during long periods of inactivity it
must be disconnected and recharged before using again.
Please check regularly that the rollers of the drive units are free of any dirt, or debris that may have
been picked up during use/during periods of inactivity.
Please check regularly the distance between the rollers and the tyres. In the neutral, fully disengaged
position this must be 20mm.
