Firtly, ensure power isolation key is on. Turn on your handset by double-pressing the multi-function button (Fig.1C). Once activated
the display will illuminate and begin the automatic connection process. When initialised the handset is ready to use, although to
prevent accidental operation of the thumbstick the handset is locked. This is shown by the image below:
Once the thumb stick has been unlocked access to the homescreen will be granted and operation of the mover can begin. Note at
any point during operation the thumb stick can safely be disabled by clicking the thumbstick button (Fig.1B). The mover operation
homes screen is explained below. If any of the icons are flashing this indicates an issue, please refer to troubleshooting.
To manouver your caravan move the thumb stick in the direction you would like to travel. The further the thumb stick is moved
outwards from the centre the faster the mover will operate. To turn the caravan progressively move the thumbstick to the side
from the forward position. At any time the orientation of the caravan controls can be flipped by pressing multi-function button
(Fig.1C).
The Quattro mover utilises a thumb stick for precise control over speed and direction. The speed of operation is dictated by how far
the stick moves from its centre point, to the outer point. Direction is dictated by the radial position of the thumbstick (moving the
stick from left to right).

Thumb stick lock function
When the display shows this icon, the thumb stick operation is disabled. This mode can be exited and
entered by clicking your thumbstick (Fig.1B). Note the thumbstick will only click when it is centred.

- Indicates signal strength between handset and control unit inside cara-
van.

- Circles touching indicates movers are engaged onto wheels.

(C) Leisure battery status
- Indicates charge level of leisure battery, for maximum perfor-
mance ensure battery is fully charged and showing 4 bars before operating mover.
(D) Handset battery status
- Indicates handset battery level.
(E) Mover orientation
- This shows the direction of travel of the caravan, when the thumb
stick is moved the caravan will follow in this direction. By default the hitch is designated as
the forward direction. At any time press the multi-function button (Fig.1C) to flip the caravan
orientation, the rear of the caravan will then move forward when the thumb stick is moved
upwards.
Caravan orientation flipped
Refer to your handset screen to ensure the caravan is orientated in the desired
way. For example if the hitch is at the top of the display, when the thumb stick
is moved upwards the hitch side of the caravan will move forward. If the rear of
the caravan is at the top of the display, the rear of the caravan will move forward
when the thumb stick is moved upwards.
For fluid operation always begin by moving the stick in the general direction you
would like to head (forwards or reverse), the futher the thumb stick moves away
from the centre the faster the mover will operate. From this point progressively
move the stick radially (sidewards) to acheive a fluid change in direction. The
more the stick is moved sidewards the tighter the turning radius that will be
acheived. Note moving the thumb stick to the hard right or left position will en-
gage the spin on the spot function on single axle caravans, which may counteract
the direction of travel in some instances.
Single axle caravans have the ability to spin on the spot. To engage this, move
the stick into the hard right or hard left position from centre . The spin function is
biased in favour of the forward direction, so if transitioning from a reverse direc-
tion the spin function may counteract the direction of travel. For the best level of
control operate the spin function from a static position.
The Quattro electronics have an automatic brake feature to prevent caravan run
away on an incline, this can mean when decending with a heavy load the level of
directional control is reduced. For best levels of control decend using the hard
forward and reverse controls, stop periodically and adjust direction with the spin
functions. Full fluid directional controls are available for operation on level ground
and on inclines.
