•
Turn off the battery power isolation switch.
When you are finished with manoeuvring, secure the handbrake.
•
Disengage the drive rollers from the tyres. Fully disengage the rollers by turning the handle on the engagement
spindle (Fig. 19) until it no longer turns without excessive force. The pointer of the traction indicator label (Fig.
20) will be in the beginning of the yellow area.
Before you start driving always make sure that both drive units are fully disengaged!
OPERATION - HITCHING AND UNHITCHING
It is possible to position the caravan’s hitch exactly over a stationery car’s tow ball using the manoeuvring system.
But please be very careful!
Use the button controls on the remote control to bring the hitch of the caravan to the car. The soft start technology
allows you to locate the tow-
ball of the car by centimetre. It is better reach the tow ball with several short “trips”
rather than trying
to do it in one “trip”.
WARNING: When the buttons on the remote control handset are released, the caravan will
slowly stop after 0.5 second and continue to move about 6cm (depending on final speed). When
the buttons of the remote control handset are rele
ased when the system is still in the “soft
start” stage (slowly speed up), the caravan will stop immediately.
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.
Relea
se the rollers from the caravan’s tyres. You cannot tow the caravan with the drive units
are engaged! Before you start driving, always make sure that the both drive units are fully
disengaged!
Trying to drive away with the drive units still engaged, will damage the manoeuvring system,
your caravan tyres and strain your tow vehicle!
MAINTENANCE
•
To prevent the battery from becoming totally discharged during long periods of inactivity it must be
disconnected, fully charged and frost-proof stored.
•
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.
•
Regularly clean the drive units with a water hose to dissolve mud, etc.
•
Please check regularly the distance between the rollers and the tyres. In the neutral (fully disengaged) position
this must be about 20mm.
•
Once a year have your caravan manoeuvring system 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 failure or problem, please contact your Camec Elite
