Depending on the weight of the caravan, the manoeuvring system cannot overcome all obstructions
without assistance. Please use wedges as a ramp.
All wheels and tyres on the caravan must be of the same size and design. If tyres are worn or new
tyres are fitted, the distance between the drive rollers and the tyres may need readjusting (see
"Installation - Mechanical Components").
Sensitive objects such as cameras, DVD-Players etc. Must not be kept in the stowage box near the
control unit or the motor cable. They can be damaged by the electromagnetic fields.
Do not make any modifications on the caravan manoeuvring system (mechanical or electronically).
This can be very dangerous! No warranty claim will be accepted and we cannot guarantee the function
of the system if any modifications are made. We will not be liable for any damage whatsoever caused
as a result of incorrect installation, operation or modification.
OPERATION – MOTOR UNITS
The manoeuvring system has two motor units (1 & 2). In general they are mounted in front of the axle of the
caravan. Both motor units are identical but cannot be switched.

Traction indicator label:
The yellow-green-red traction indicator label (Fig. 10A), on the side of each motor unit indicates if the roller is
depressing the tyre sufficiently to provide adequate traction.
x
If the pointer is in the yellow area – Rollers are not touching or depressing the tyre sufficiently.
x
If the pointer is in the green area – Rollers should be connecting correctly to the tyre (margin of 15mm).
x
If the pointer is in the red area – Rollers are connected to the tyre but in an extreme position. It could be
that the tyre of the caravan has insufficient air pressure or the motor unit has been knocked out of position
and a visit to a workshop is required to reposition the assembly.
Disconnect the motor powered rollers in case of emergency:
In the case that the caravan battery is discharged too far to automatically take of the motor powered rollers of
the tyre, or there is a defect, you can also do this manually.
Open the cover on the rear of the motor housing (Fig. 11.1A). Place the emergency key (7) on the connecting
link in the motor unit and rotate until the motor unit including the drive roller is again in the initial position (Fig.
11.2B). Turn the emergency key in a clockwise direction in order to disengage the motor powered roller from
the tire! Repeat this also on the motor unit on the other side.
After use close the cover on the rear of the motor housing.
As soon as the battery is charged again, or the problem is solved, the motor powered rollers automatically work
again.
If the system still does not work automatically, even with a fully charged battery, contact your dealer to resolve
this problem. It is not allowed to use this emergency operation to engage the motor powered rollers to the tyre.
OPERATION – REMOTE HANDSET
The remote handset (6) is activated by moving the slide switch up (Fig. 13A). Once activated the power LED
(Fig. 13Q) and the communication LED (Fig. 13H) will illuminate and the directional controls can now be used to
manoeuvre your caravan.
