Before starting installation under the caravan:
DO only use adapters and accessories that are supplied or recommended by the manufacturer.
DO check that the tyres are not over worn (fitting to new or nearly new tyres is the best option).
DO make sure that the tyre-pressures are correct to the manufacturer’s recommendation.
DO make sure the chassis is in good condition without any damage and is free from rust, dirt etc.
DO stop work immediately if you are in doubt about the assembly or any procedures and consult one of our engineers
DO NOT remove, change or alter any parts of the chassis, axle, suspension or brake mechanism.
DO NOT operate the unit if you are under the influence of drugs, alcohol or medication that could impair your ability to
use the equipment safely.
These instructions are for general guidance. Installation procedures may vary depending on
caravan type.
Use appropriate support! Working under a vehicle without appropriate support is extremely
dangerous. If you are fitting the mover system yourself, it is advisable that the installation is
conducted by two people, as the mover will need to be raised up to the bottom of the caravan’s
chassis before the clamps can be installed.
Place the caravan on a hard, level surface. The use of a lifting ramp or an assembly pit is ideal for access and personal
safety.
Clean the area of your chassis where you need to mount all components to ensure a good fitting.
Unpack all the components and check for the presence of all parts (see Package Contents List).
Make sure the caravan is prepared for installation. Check before installation that important areas, such as drains/spare
tyre etc. do not cause any obstruction to the function of the mover.
Ensure both rollers are in the DISENGAGED position (Fig.14), as the unit will not fit correctly otherwise
Loosely assemble cross bar (3), cross bar (4) and the centre cross bar (5). The nuts (Fig.1B), on each cross bar (3&4)
must be no more than finger-tight at this stage.
Place the assembly loosely under the caravan. In principle, the unit should be fitted in front of the caravan road wheels,
but if fitting in this position is not possible, it is permissible to fit it to the rear of the wheels by rotating the whole
assembly by 180° degrees.
Loosely fit the two clamping assemblies to the chassis (see Fig.9) and attach using the bolts, nuts and washers
(13,14,15) provided in the installation kit. Nuts must be no more than finger-tight.
Make sure that the Centre Cross Bar (5) is positioned in the middle of the caravan/mover (the centre of the bar is
marked).
With the main assembly loosely fitted onto the chassis, slide each motor unit (1&2) onto each end of the cross bar
assembly and secure using either the wire-lock pins (9) or, if you do not have the requirement to detach the motors
everytime you use the mover system then secure the motors using the bolts (18), washers (17) and Nylock Nuts (19).
With the main assembly loosely fitted onto the chassis, slide the whole assembly along the chassis until the rollers
(Fig.2A) are 20mm away from the surface of the centre each tyre (Fig.14). Two 20mm spacers (23) are provided.
It is vitally important that each roller is at exactly the same distance away from the tyre. The whole
