OPERATION - MOTOR UNITS
The manoeuvring system has two motor units (1 & 2). In general they are mounted in front of the axle of the
caravan. Both units are identical but cannot be switched.

In order to engage the rollers, fit the end socket of the engagement tool (6) on the spindle (Fig.
11
) on the
right or left drive unit and turn the handle (Fig. 1

).
Traction indicator label:
The yellow-green-red traction indicator label (Fig.
4
A), on the side of each motor unit indicates if the roller is
depressing the tyre sufficiently to provide adequate traction.
•
If the pointer is in the yellow area – Rollers are not touching or depressing the tyre sufficiently.
•
If the pointer is in the green area – Rollers should be connecting correctly to the tyre (margin of 15mm)
•
If the pointer is in the red area – Rollers are connected to the tyre but in an extreme position. It could be
that the tyre of the caravan has insufficient air pressure or the drive unit has been knocked out of position
and a visit to a workshop is required to reposition the assembly.
OPERATION - REMOTE CONTROL HANDSET
The remote control handset (31) is powered by one PP3 9Volt battery, and is activated by moving the slide
switch to “On”-I (Fig. 5A). Once activated the green LED (Fig. 5H) will illuminate and the directional controls
can now be used.

When you drive straight forwards or reverse (press button B or C), it is also possible to adjust the direction by
additional pressing button D or E (when driving forwards) or button F or G (when driving reverse).
In addition, the ‘right forward’ (E) and ‘left reverse’ (F) buttons or ‘left forward’ (D) and ‘right reverse’ (G)
buttons may be pressed at the same time to turn the caravan around on its own axis without moving forward or
backward
.
When you switch within 2 seconds from forward driving to reverse driving (and the other way around), a small
delay of 1 second will appear to protect the electronics and the motors.
The slide switch (Fig. 5A) also acts as an “Emergency stop”.
The remote hand set switches off:
•
After 3 minutes, if no button is pressed: After 2 minutes the buzzer will beep for 5 times with a repetition
after 3 minutes. Than the system switches in the “stand-by” modes.
•
After 6 minutes, if one of the movement buttons is permanently held down: After 5 minutes the buzzer will
beep for 5 times with a repetition after 6 minutes. Than the system switches in the “stand-by” modes.
The green LED goes off and the remote control handset is in the “stand-by” modes which means that there
always will be used some current which causes the battery to go down. So always make sure the remote
control handset is turned off by the slide switch.
To reactivate the remote control, move slide switch to “Off” –O and then back to “On”-I after approximately 1
second.
