Practice operating the manoeuvring system in an open area before using for the first time. This is to fully
familiarise yourself with the handset / manoeuvring system operation.
Before use, always check the caravan manoeuvring system for any damage.
When towing or moving the caravan please be aware, at all times, that ground clearance is reduced
when the manoeuvring system has been fitted.
Always ensure that children and pets are kept well out of the way during operation.
When operating the system, ensure that no hairs, fingers or other body parts, clothing or any other
objects carried on the body can become trapped by moving or rotating parts (e.g. drive rollers).
In the event of malfunctions, pull on the handbrake immediately and turn off the main isolation power
switch.
To maintain signal strength, always make sure that, during manoeuvring, the distance between the
remote handset and the caravan does not exceed 5 metres.
Due to the nature of a radio signal, it can get corrupted by external terrain or objects. So there may be
small areas around the caravan where the quality of reception reduces, hence the manoeuvring system
may stop momentarily.
Always be aware that the manoeuvring system increases the weight of your caravan or trailer. So this
reduces the payload of the caravan.
Do not exceed the total safe working load of 2000kg laden weight (caravan including load) when 2
motors are used and 3000kg laden weight (caravan including load) when 4 motors (twin axle) are
used.
Always make sure that the rollers are fully disengaged from the tyres when the manoeuvring system is
not in use. This is better for the tyres and for the system.
Always make sure that the rollers are fully disengaged before towing/moving the caravan by vehicle or
manpower. This can damage the tyres, manoeuvring system and the towing vehicle.
Always make sure that after you have finished using the manoeuvring system, the battery power
isolation switch (29) is switched off and the key is removed and stored in a safe place (out of reach of
children or other unauthorised people). If you don’t switch off, the battery will be discharged by the
small ”standby” current.
Always make sure that the remote handset is switched off and stored (in the wall holder) in a safe
place (out of reach of children or other unauthorised people). If you don’t switch off, the battery will be
discharged by the small ”standby” current.
Do not rely on the manoeuvring system to act as a brake.
Always apply the handbrake after manoeuvring, before disengaging the drive rollers from the tyres.
Do not use the manoeuvring system as a support when jacking up the caravan, since this can damage
the drive unit.
Depending on the weight of the caravan, the manoeuvring system cannot overcome all obstructions
without assistance. Please use wedges as a ramp.
All wheels and tyres on the caravan must be of the same size and design. If tyres are worn or new
tyres are fitted, the distance between the drive rollers and the tyres may need readjusting (see
“Installation - Mechanical Components”).
Sensitive objects such as cameras, DVD-Players etc. Must not be kept in the stowage box near the
control unit or the motor cable. They can be damaged by the electromagnetic fields.
Do not make any modifications on the caravan manoeuvring system (mechanical or electronically).
This can be very dangerous! No warranty claim will be accepted and we cannot guarantee the function
of the system if any modifications are made. We will not be liable for any damage whatsoever caused
as a result of incorrect installation, operation or modification.
