OPERATION - HITCHING AND UNHITCHING
MAINTENANCE
TROUBLESHOOTING
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). If the
buttons of the remote control handset are released 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.
Release 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!
• 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 Pro

2 EM305 supplier.
Should your manoeuvring system fail to operate, please check the following:
Unit fails to operate, does not function at all:
• Make sure that the battery power isolation switch (29)
is turned on.
• Check the cable-connection between the caravan
battery and the control unit.
• Check the fuse (80A) in the red positive battery cable
(Fig. 20). If the fuse is blown, it must be replaced
with a fuse of the same value (80A). Never “bridge”
the fuse (if needed contact your
Camec Elite Pro
®
2
EM305 supplier). To replace the fuse, first disconnect
the positive (+) power cable from the battery. Then
release the mounting screws that hold the fuse
(Fig. 20A), replace the fuse (Fig. 20B), and finally
tighten the screws securely. Close the housing of the
fuse and connect the positive (+) power cable again
to the battery. The system is ready again for use.
