General Instructions; Batteries; Notes For Handling Batteries; Function Description - Truma Mover XT4 Mode D'emploi

– All wheels and tyres on the caravan must be of the same
size and type. If this is not observed, safe operation is not
guaranteed.
– To ensure that the Mover XT4 works properly, the gap be-
tween the tyres and the disengaged drive rollers must be
20 mm. All tyres must be inflated to the same pressure
in accordance with manufacturer's instructions and be
checked regularly. Tyre wear or the fitting of new tyres may
make it necessary to readjust the gap between the drive
rollers and the tyres (see "Fitting the drive units").
– When jacking up the vehicle, do not use the Mover XT4 as a sup-
port point as this could damage the drive unit and the vehicle.
– Sensitive objects such as cameras, DVD players etc. must
not be kept in the stowage box near the control unit or the
motor cables, as the powerful electromagnetic fields may
damage them.
– The empty weight of the vehicle increases by the weight of
the Mover XT4, which reduces the payload of the vehicle.
– Remove the plug / adapter from the safety socket after
manoeuvring, otherwise the battery will be discharged.
Quiescent current with plug / adapter inserted < 80 mA.
Quiescent current with plug / adapter unplugged < 150 µA.

General instructions

The Mover XT4 has been designed to cope with inclines of up
to approx. 10 % bearing a gross weight of 3100 kg on a suit-
able surface.
Depending on the weight of the caravan, the Mover XT4 can-
not overcome obstacles from a height of about 5 cm without
an aid (use ramps).
Due to the characteristic properties of a radio signal, it may be
interrupted by terrain / objects. This reduces reception quality
in small areas around the caravan, as a result of which the op-
eration of the Mover XT4 may be briefly interrupted.
When the Mover XT4 is switched off using the remote
control, the control unit remains in standby for one hour.
In order to switch off completely, the battery must be discon-
nected or an isolating switch installed.

Batteries

Recommended battery capacities
Button cell technology
Gel / AGM
Lead-acid battery (liquid gel electrolyte)
Starter batteries are not suitable
Batteries with greater capacity allow the equipment to
be used for longer.
Charger
For optimum battery charging we recommend the Truma BC 10
charger, which is suitable for all battery types up to 200 Ah.

Notes for handling batteries

– When handling batteries, pay attention to the manufac-
turer's safety instructions and data sheets
– Ensure that the terminal clamps are secure.
– Secure battery poles with protection caps in order to pre-
vent a short circuit
– When removing the battery, first disconnect the earth con-
nection (negative terminal), followed by the positive termi-
nal. When installing the battery, first connect the positive
terminal followed by the negative terminal.
Battery care (including maintenance-free
batteries)
In order to achieve a long battery service life, attention must
be paid to the following points:
– Batteries should be fully charged before and after current is
drained;
– for stationary periods of longer than 24 hours, interrupt
power circuit (e.g. using circuit breaker or by disconnecting
the battery poles),
– for longer stationary periods the battery must be discon-
nected and charged for 24 hours at least every 12 weeks.
In winter, store the fully-charged battery in a cool and
frost-free place and recharge at regular intervals (every
12 weeks).

Function description

Always observe the operating instructions and the
"Safety instructions" prior to starting. The vehicle owner
is responsible for correct operation of the device.
Please note that the Mover XT4 is only suitable for
twin-axle trailers.
The Mover XT4 is a manoeuvring system with which a cara-
van can be moved without the help of the towing vehicle.
It consists of four separate drive units, each with its own
12 V DC motor. These units are mounted on the frame of the
vehicle in the immediate vicinity of the wheels, and are con-
nected by a lateral bar.
Once the drive rollers have been engaged against the tyres,
using the remote control, the Mover XT4 is ready for opera-
tion. It is operated exclusively via the remote control, which
transmits radio signals to the control unit. A separately in-
stalled 12 V lead-acid battery or suitable lead-gel battery (not
supplied) provides the control unit with electrical power.
Always completely engage the drive rollers. If the drive
rollers are not completely engaged, the caravan cannot
be controlled. If this is not observed, there is a risk of injury
and property damage.

Intended use

The Mover XT4 has been designed for use on twin-axle cara-
vans with a gross weight of up to 3100 kg.
at least 55 Ah
The Mover XT4 weighs approx. 60 kg.
at least 70 Ah Check the maximum towable weight for your towing
vehicle and the gross weight of your caravan to make
sure that they are designed for this additional weight.
at least 80 Ah

Approval

The Truma Mover XT4 has design approval, and a "general
operating permit" (ABE) has been issued for Germany. Ac-
ceptance by a vehicle expert is not required (except when
installing the low chassis kit). The general operating permit
(ABE) must be kept in the vehicle.
The Mover XT4 complies with other requirements of
EC Directives and Standards (see Declaration of conformity).
When installing the Mover XT4, the technical and administrat-
ive regulations of the country of first registration of the vehicle
must be observed.
Any modifications made to the device, or the use of any spare
parts or functionally significant accessories other than original
Truma parts, or failure to comply with the contents of the op-
erating and installation instructions invalidates the warranty
and precludes any liability claims. This will also invalidate the
operating permit for the equipment.
