Please make sure you read the safety instructions very carefully and make sure that you follow these guidelines!
Make sure that the battery that supplies the mover is fully charged and in good condition.
Make sure that the caravan is free from the vehicle and the handbrake is on. Also make sure that the corner-
steady feet are fully raised.
Engage both rollers as described in ‘Operation-Motor Units’. This only needs to be done on one side of your caravan
since the other side will automatically follow via the cross actuation bar.
Before operating the Mover, release the handbrake.
Activate the mover by double-clicking the power button (Fig.3A) on the remote control. The LED (Fig.3H) on the remote
control will illuminate. Now you can choose the movements according the symbols shown on the remote control
As soon as the buttons are released the caravan will stop
The mover moves at one speed after the intitial ‘soft-start’. The speed can increase a little when going downhill and
decrease a little when going uphill.
TIP:
The mover is more efficient when reversing the caravan up an incline.
After manoeuvring, deactivate the mover by double-clicking the power button on the remote control again. The LED on
the remote control will turn off. Apply the handbrake first and then disengage the drive rollers from the tyres.
Store remote control in a safe place (out of reach of children or other unauthorised people).
Operation - Getting Started
It is, of course, impossible for a twin-axle caravan to be manoeuvred in the same way as a single-axle as the turning
circle is greatly increased compared to a single-axle caravan. Also, the amount of different manoeuvres required to
locate/park your caravan is increased.
However, the advanced electronics of the Quattro® electronics take care of the manoeuvring whilst also taking care of
your caravan.
For example:
When the caravan is turning, the motors provide lower rotational speed on one side to help enable direction
change. This enables the caravan to manoeuvre with minimal tyre ‘scrub’ or being dragged along the ground,
which can cause undue stresses on its tyres, wheel hubs and chassis.
It is also a possibility that when operating a two motor twin-axle system, on very uneven ground, one of the wheels
driven by the mover will not make adequate contact to continue progress. If this occurs, you will need to move the
caravan in a different direction until adequate traction is regained.
Using your Caravan Mover with Quattro® Technology
Hold down the corresponding button on the Handset (Fig.3E for Single Axle Mode or Fig3.G for Twin-Axle Mode) and,
at the same time, install the third battery. Note: Twin-Axle Mode is used for twin-axle caravan installations that use two or
four motors.
The Handset will sound single beeps (for Single Axle Mode) or double beeps (for Twin-Axle Mode).
Keep holding the button down until the Handset stops beeping and the green LED(s) (Fig.2C) on the control unit(s) turn(s)
off.
The control unit(s) will switch off.
Press the power button on the handset (Fig.3A) twice. The Control Unit(s) will make a clicking noise to indicate the system
is operational.
The pairing procedure is now complete and the caravan mover system is ready for use.
