General instructions

The Mover® XT has been designed to cope with inclines of up
to approx. 25 % bearing a gross weight of 1200 kg or 13 %
bearing a gross weight of 2300 kg on a suitable surface.
The Mover® XT2 has been designed to cope with inclines of
up to approx. 25 % bearing a gross weight of 1200 kg or 10 %
bearing a gross weight of 2400 kg on a suitable surface.
Depending on the weight of the caravan, the Mover® XT / XT2
may not be able to overcome obstacles more than about
3 cm in height without auxiliary equipment (please use ascent
chocks).
As a result of the characteristics 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® XT / XT2 may be briefly interrupted.
When the Mover® XT / XT2 is switched off using the
remote control, the control unit remains in standby.
In order to switch off completely the battery must be discon-
nected or an isolating switch installed.

Batteries

For optimum operation we recommend the Truma
Mover® PowerSet, which contains batteries with button cells
and an appropriate charger. So-called drive, lighting and gel
batteries with sufficient capacity are also suitable.
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 416 IU charger, which is suitable for all battery
types up to 160 Ah.
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 removing
power,
– for stop periods of longer than 24 hours, interrupt power
circuit (e.g. using circuit breaker or by disconnecting the
battery poles),
– for longer stop periods the battery must be disconnected
and charged for 24 hours at least every 12 weeks.
In winter, store fully charged battery in a cool and
frost-free place and recharge at regular intervals (every
12 weeks).

Description of function

Always observe the operating instructions and "Safety
instructions" prior to starting! The vehicle owner is re-
sponsible for correct operation of the device.
Please note that the Mover® XT is only suitable for sin-
gle-axle trailers, while the Mover® XT2 is only suitable
for dual-axle trailers.
The Mover® XT / XT2 is a manoeuvring system which allows
a caravan to be manoeuvred without the aid of the towing
vehicle.
It consists of two separate drive assemblies, 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
connected by a lateral bar.
Once the drive rollers have been engaged using the remote
control, the Mover® XT / XT2 is ready for operation. It is oper-
ated exclusively via the remote control, which transmits radio
signals to the control unit. A separately installed 12 V lead ac-
id battery or suitable lead-gel battery (not supplied) provides
the control unit with electrical power.
