Please make sure you read the safety instructions very carefully and make sure that you follow these guidelines!
Make sure that the battery that supplies the mover is fully charged and in good condition.
Make sure that the caravan is free from the vehicle and the handbrake is on. Also make sure that the corner-
steady feet are fully raised.
Engage both rollers as described in ‘Operation-Motor Units’. This only needs to be done on one side of your caravan
since the other side will automatically follow via the cross actuation bar.
Turn on the Battery Power Isolation Switch (29).
Before operating the Mover, release the handbrake.
Activate the mover by double-clicking the power button (Fig.3A) on the remote control. The LED (Fig.3H) on the remote
control will illuminate. Now you can choose the movements according the symbols shown on the remote control
As soon as the buttons are released the caravan will stop
The mover moves at one speed after the intitial ‘soft-start’. The speed can increase a little when going downhill and
decrease a little when going uphill.
TIP: The mover is more efficient when reversing the caravan up an incline.
After manoeuvring, deactivate the mover by double-clicking the power button on the remote control again. The LED on
the remote control will turn off. Apply the handbrake first and then disengage the drive rollers from the tyres.
Turn off the Battery Power Isolation Switch.
Store remote control in a safe place (out of reach of children or other unauthorised people).
It is possible to position the caravan’s hitch exactly over a stationery car’s tow ball using the mover. But please
be very careful!
Use the button controls on the remote control to bring the caravan to the car. It is better to reach the tow ball with
several short “trips” rather than trying to do it in one “trip”. When the hitch is right above the tow ball of the vehicle,
lower the hitch to the ball and engage in the normal way using the jockey wheel.
Hitch the caravan in the normal way ready for towing.
Release the rollers from the caravan’s tyres. You cannot tow the caravan with the Mover
engaged! Make sure that both rollers are fully disengaged!
Trying to drive away with the mover still engaged, will damage the mover, your caravan tyres and strain your tow
vehicle!

Operation - Getting Started
The Jockey Wheel
The jockey wheel that you use will have an impact on the performance of the mover. The heavier the ball weight, the
bigger the impact on performance.
It is strongly advised that you consider upgrading a standard jockey wheel to one that is able to cope with your caravan
and caravan mover.
Things to consider when choosing a jockey wheel are:
1.
Pneumatic or solid tyre
2.
What size of wheel and tyre (big is good)
3.
Twin or single wheel
4.
Freely swivelling, to allow easy turns
5.
Strength and robustness
power cables from the mover isolation switch to one battery and the negative cables from each board to the other
battery. In this way both batteries work together. If you attach the positives and the negatives to just one battery then
they will work separately. Please see Fig.22 for reference.
