Manoeuvring the caravan
Please read the “Safety instructions” before using
the Mover!
Apply handbrake with caravan uncoupled.
Unplug 13-pin plug from vehicle and plug into safety socket of
caravan.
For safety reasons the Mover can only be operated if the
13-pin plug of the caravan has been plugged into the
safety socket.
In the event of an error, the 13-pin plug should not be
removed from the safety socket as otherwise the elec-
tronic protection function is deactivated.
If there is a fault in both caravan brake lights, the power
circuit of the safety socket is not closed. In this case the
Mover cannot be operated.
Switch remote hand set on – green LED flashes for 5 seconds
in combination with the acoustic alarm until the control unit is
ready for operation.
Simultaneously press the two buttons (h) for engaging, which
starts after approx. 3 seconds (safety delay).
Use the
position indicator
to
check
whether
both drive
rollers have been correctly applied
(arrow of yellow posi-
tion indicator is above the line that is closest to the tyre).
Before operating the Mover, release the handbrake.
The six direction buttons provide movement in six directions –
forward, reverse, left forward, left reverse, right forward, right
reverse.
With the Mover SE R, the “left forward” (e) and “right
reverse” (f) or “right forward” (d) and “left reverse” (g) buttons
can also be pressed simultaneously in order to turn the cara-
van in a circle on the spot without moving it forwards.
The soft start / stop facility means that the caravan starts
without jerking and is gently braked when stopping.
If the buttons are released or the radio signal is interfered with
or becomes too weak, the caravan stops. Your Mover cannot
be activated by radio devices or other Mover remote hand
sets.
After starting up, the Mover moves at a uniform speed. The
speed will increase a little when going downhill and decrease
a little when going uphill.
After manoeuvring,
first apply the handbrake
and then
dis-
engage the drive rollers from the tyres.
Move slide switch on remote control to the “Off”
£
position
to switch the remote control and the Mover off.
The slide switch also acts as an “Emergency stop”
switch.
Remove plug from safety socket after manoeuvring, otherwise
the battery will be discharged. Standby current with plug
inserted approx. 200 mA.
Hitching to a tow car
It is totally possible to position the caravan’s hitch to a
stationary car tow ball using the Mover, but take some care.
Use the instructions above as your guide. Use the button con-
trols to bring the caravan to the car (car handbrake “ON“, and
car in gear). Use a button stabbing technique to exactly posi-
tion the hitch directly over the ball. Lower the hitch to the ball
and engage in the normal way using the jockey wheel.
Prepare the caravan for towing as usual.
The caravan must
never be towed with the drive rollers engaged.
Maintenance
Please do not allow the drive units to become soiled with
coarse road material. When you are cleaning the caravan,
spray the Mover with a water hose to dissolve mud etc. Please
ensure that no stones, twigs or the like become trapped in the
equipment. The control unit does not require maintenance.
Please keep the remote hand set in a dry place.
Every year (and/or before putting away for the winter), clean
Mover as described, dry and lightly spray the drive unit guides
with oil spray or a similar water-repelling lubricant.
Do not
put lubricant on the rollers or the tyres!
Engage and dis-
engage the drive units several times to allow the lubricant
to penetrate all the guides. Do not park the caravan with the
drive rollers engaged.
To prevent the battery from becoming totally discharged dur-
ing long periods of inactivity it must be disconnected and re-
charged before using again. Charge the caravan battery
before starting up.
It is extremely easy for you or your caravan dealer to perform
the checking and maintenance of your Mover during the
annual inspection of your caravan. If in doubt, please contact
the Truma Services (see Truma Service Booklet or
www.truma.com).
Checks
– Check the installation, wiring and connections for damage
at regular intervals. The drive units must be able to move
freely and be returned automatically to the safe idle position
when they are disengaged. If this is not the case, examine
drive units for soiling or corrosion at the guides and clean
if necessary. Undo all moving parts as required and oil or
spray with a lubricant such as WD40 to ensure that the
equipment moves correctly and provides the full range of
movement.
– After the annual inspection, check whether all motors react
properly to the buttons on the remote control.
– At least every 2 years, an expert
must
check the Mover for
rust, check that detachable parts are firmly attached and
check that all safety-related parts are in good working order.
Emergency disengaging function
If the caravan battery has become so discharged that a disen-
gaging cannot be performed using electrical means, or a fault
has occurred, the drive motors can be disengaged manually.
Prise out the plastic cap (m) at the
rear end of the motor using a screw-
driver. Place the socket wrench
(size 7 mm – included in scope of
delivery) onto the hexagon bolt and
disengage the drive unit by turning
anticlockwise. Repeat procedure at
the opposite side.

Once the battery has been recharged the rollers can be
engaged again electrically.
