Maintenance
To prevent the battery from becoming totally discharged during long periods of inactivity it must be disconnected and
recharged before using again.
Please check regularly that the rollers of the drive units are free of any dirt, or debris that may have been picked up from
the road. Any further maintenance is not required.
Please check regularly the distance between the rollers and the tyres. In the neutral (fully disengaged) position this must
be 20 mm.
When your caravan is stored for an extended period of time (over winter for example) it is recommended to remove the
leisure battery from the caravan. Make sure you keep it charged to ensure it is in good condition the next time you want
to use it.
Once a year have your Purple Line® caravan mover maintained and visually inspected. This inspection must include all
the bolt/nut connections, the cables and electrical connections and lubrication of movable parts/joints.
In case of any failures or problems, please contact your Purple Line® Caravan Mover supplier.
Trouble Shooting
Should your mover fail to operate, please check the following:
Unit fails to operate, does not function at all:
Make sure that the Battery Power Isolation Switch (29) is turned on.
Is the Remote Control Handset ‘paired’ with the Control Unit? To ‘pair’ the Handset and Control Unit please follow the
procedure detailed in the section ‘Before First Use - Pairing the Handset & Control Unit(s)’ regarding the Reset Button
(Fig.6A).
Check the batteries of the remote control. If empty, renew using three new ‘AAA’ 1.5V batteries.
Caravan battery could be empty. Check electronics box (Blue LED is on and Red LED is flashing twice slowly). If empty,
recharge completely or renew caravan battery before taking any further action.
Advice on battery voltage:
Even though batteries are rated at 12V, a fully charged battery will provide a charge nearer
to 13V. A voltimeter reading of 12.7V or higher means that the battery is 100% charged, 12.5V is three quarters charged
and 12.4V can mean your battery is only 50% charged. The caravan mover needs at least 12.5V to function correctly.
Caravan battery could be overloaded. Check electronics box (Blue LED is on and Red LED is flashing continuously).
Check your charging equipment and try to discharge the battery by connecting/using a light or other load. If this does
not give any result, renew caravan battery before taking any further action.
Check the cable-connection between the caravan battery and the control unit.
Check the distance between the remote control and the caravan is not more than 5 metres. If there is no signal between
the remote control and the control unit, the mover will not function at all, even though the LED on the remote control is
on.
All error messages will reset automatically after 40 seconds. If this does not occur, reset the mover by switching off the
mover via the isolator switch for at least 10 seconds and turn it on again. Then re-establish the connection with the
remote control (by pressing the power button on the handset twice within 1 second).
Unit fails to operate or moves intermittently:
Check the battery of the remote control.
If empty, renew using three new ‘AAA’ 1.5V batteries.
Caravan battery could be empty. Check electronics box (Blue LED is on and Red LED is flashing twice slowly). If empty,
recharge completely or renew caravan battery before taking any further action.
