Make sure that the main cross bar (3) and the cross actuation centre bar (4) are positioned in the middle of the
caravan (the centre of the bar is marked).
With the main assembly is loosely fitted onto the chassis, slide the whole assembly along the chassis until the
rollers are 20mm away from the surface of the centre each tyre (Fig. 10). Two 20mm spacers (30) are provided.
It is vitally important that each roller is at exactly the same distance away from the tyre.
The whole assembly must be parallel to the caravan/trailer axle.
Slide the motor units in or out of the cross bar (3) accordingly to ensure the roller will have
the maximum possible contact with the tread of the tyre. Ensure that the position of each
motor unit does not obstruct shock absorbers (if fitted) and that the plastic chain guard is
not too close to the surface of the tyre/shock absorber. The minimum clearance when the
drive units swivelled in is 10mm.
Fully tighten (10Nm torque) the four bolts (Fig. 1B) on the main cross bar and the four bolts (Fig. 1C) on cross
actuation assembly and lock them by the additional nuts.
Fully tighten all the nylon nuts on both clamping assemblies (Fig. 2). First tighten the diagonal placed M10x60
bolts with a 20Nm torque, and then M10x50 bolts to a 40Nm torque.
Re-check the distance of 20mm from the rollers to the tires, the position of the aluminium rollers in addition to
the surface of the tire and finally the distance between the chain cover (Fig. 8) and the tires & shock absorbers
(>10mm). The weight of the caravan must be on the wheels when doing this. If necessary, loosen the bolts and
re-adjust the position of the assembly.
Re-check that all bolts/nuts have been tightened to the correct torque!
The main mechanical components have now been installed.
INSTALLATION – ELECTRICAL/ELECTRONIC COMPONENTS
Make sure the 12 Volt supply from the battery and any 230 Volt electricity supply are
disconnected.
Remove battery cable terminals and disconnect any external electrical power before starting work.
Find a suitable place for the control unit (32), such as a storage area, under a seat or a bed. Make sure this
place is dry and close to the battery (40cm to 60cm). The control unit can be mounted vertically on a side wall
or be mounted flat. When mounted vertically, the connections must point downwards to avoid any short-circuits
by objects falling into. When choosing location, ensure that the antenna can be completely extended and
cannot easily be damaged.
Fix the control unit securely into position with four screws (19). Note: if the provided screws are not of suitable
length or type for the desired location/material please substitute these as appropriate.
Drill a 25mm hole through the floor of the caravan approximately 150mm centrally in front of the control unit
(32) terminals.
Caution! Take extra care to avoid any chassis members, gas pipes and electrical wires!
Route and connect the motor-cables in accordance with wiring diagram (Fig. 12) (red = positive, black =
negative).
The wiring diagram (Fig. 12 + Table. A (see below)) depicts the wiring route when installing the motor units in
front of the wheels/axle towards the 'A' frame. Please refer to table B (below) for fitment of the motor units to
the rear of the axle.

cables)
Motor unit A: positive (+) cable to terminal 4
Motor unit A: negative (-) cable to terminal 3
Motor unit B: positive (+) cable to terminal 2
Motor unit B: negative (-) cable to terminal 1
Mark the motor cables for both motor units using the cable markers (25). The cables for the left and the right
motor should have the same length. Avoid any loops.
Remember to leave a small amount of slack cable near the motors to allow for their movement when the drive
rollers are engaged.
