2.7 DECREASING AND INCREASING SPEED
When the handset is first switched on the settings indicator window will always show an
illuminated green LED to the extreme right-hand side of the window and this is the default
position of maximum speed (100%). The speed can be decreased by pressing
the ‘Speed
Decrease’ button (J), each time this button is pressed the speed will decrease by 25% and the
green LED will move in the window to indicate the speed setting selected.
ℹ️
The minimum speed setting is 25%. As the speed decreases the torque decreases in the
same ratio i.e. 50% speed is 50% torque. This function of using a slow speed with lower torque
setting is designed to maintain the
RV’s manoeuvrability in very restricted and/or confined
spaces.
If the Powrtouch is not at its maximum speed, then the speed can be increased in 25%
increments by pressing
the ‘Speed Increase’ button (K). When changing the speed of the
Powrtouch, the illuminated green LED will move (a maximum four stages) from the left to the
right of the meter; when the LED is positioned at the extreme right of the display this indicates
the Powrtouch has returned to the maximum speed setting. The speed can only be changed
when the RV is not moving.
2.8 PRECISION CONTROL OF THE RV USING THE ELECTRONIC SOFT START
FUNCTION
By utilising its very effective Electronic Soft Start System the Powrtouch Freedom can easily
move the RV a distance of 1mm (0.04 inch) at a time. This small movement can be achieved
by pressing and quickly releasing a direction button, this facility makes attaching the RV to the
hitch of the vehicle, a simple operation. Reducing the speed will also give greater control of the
RV when using the soft start in
this way. It is recommended that a good practice session
should be carried out on level ground and in an open space before any difficult manoeuvres
are undertaken.
2.9 RETRACTION OF THE ROLLERS FROM THE TIRES
⚠️ ALWAYS ENSURE THE RV HANDBRAKE IS ON BEFORE DISENGAGING THE
