PLEASE REFER TO MANUAL SUPPLIED WITH ELECTRONICS FOR WIRING INSTALLATION, OPERATION INSTRUCTIONS AND
TROUBLESHOOTING.
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!
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!
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 20mm.
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 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 Caravan Mover supplier.

Installation - Quick-fit Shark Clamp System (Fig.10.2)
Loosely assemble the main cross bar (3) inside motor framework side (1) and motor framework side (2) (see Fig.1). The nuts/bolts
(Fig.1B) on motor framework (1&2), must be no more than finger-tight at this stage.
Place the assembly (Fig.1) 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.
Typically the Shark Clamp will be pre-assembled onto the motorsides for ease of fitting, but if the clamps have been purchased
seperately or are not pre-assembled, they should be assembled onto the framework as shown in (Fig.15).
Before attempting to install the mover onto your caravan chassis ensure that the pinch bolts (Fig.10.2B) are removed and put safely
to the side.
In turn, open each jaw to its widest position (loosen nuts if required) and hang the motorside framework onto the chassis. If the
caravan chassis is a tall U profile, the nuts (Fig.10.2B) may need to be removed first to allow the jaws to be opened wide enough.
Loosen the crossbar nuts/bolts (Fig.1B) and adjust the lateral position of each motorside so that the rollers are central to the tyre,
or as close to the centre as possible, ensuring 10mm of space is left beween the tyre and gearbox for the Quattro Platinum (Fig.9).
After adjusting ensure the clamps haven’t moved out of position by holding the framework motorside firmly, while reaching round
and pushing the clamps outwards until the fastening bolts and chassis collide. Once happy with the overal width of the mover
system, tighten crossbar nuts/bolts (Fig.1B) to 9ft lbs/12Nm to set the width.
Slide the whole assembly along the chassis until the rollers (Fig.2A or Fig.4A) are 20mm away from the surface of the centre each
tyre (Fig.5 or Fig.7). Two 20mm spacers (30) are provided. Fully tighten the clamp bolts (Fig.10.2A) on both clamping assemblies to
a torque setting of 40 ft lbs/55Nm. When tightening one clamp bolt, the other may loosen slightly so it may take several passes to
get both bolts fully torqued on each clamp. A tip is to do all clamp bolts up until there is a strong resistance before torquing fully.
Insert pinch bolt (Fig.10.2B) and tighten to a torque setting of 18 ft lbs/25Nm, ensuring while doing this, that the retaining nut is at
