Safety instructions
– Practice operating the Caravan Mover® in
an open area before using for the first time.
This is to fully familiarise yourself with
the remote control / Caravan Mover®
operation.
– Always check tyres and drive rollers before
using the equipment; remove sharp-edged
stones and the like if necessary.
– The side slide switch on the remote control
(ON / OFF) also serves as an “Emergency
Stop switch”. Switch the side slide switch to
“OFF” immediately in the event of any ab-
normalities, e. g. uncontrolled behaviour of
the manoeuvring system.
– No person must be present in the caravan
during operation.
– There must be no persons (particularly
children) inside the turning and movement
range (manoeuvring range) of the mobile
home.
– When engaging and disengaging and while
operating the Caravan Mover® care must
be taken to ensure that no hair, parts of the
body, clothing or other parts on the body can
become caught in moving and / or rotating
parts (such as drive rollers).
– The distance between the radio remote con-
trol and the centre of the caravan when ma-
noeuvring must not exceed 10 m!
– In the event of malfunctions pull on the
handbrake.
– To prevent the caravan from tipping, direct
the tow coupling downhill when manoeuver-
ing down a slope.
– After manoeuvring, always apply the
handbrake first, disengage the drive
rollers from the tyres and block the
wheels (particularly on downwards-slop-
ing surfaces). The Caravan Mover® is not
suitable for use as a parking brake for a
parked caravan.
– Ensure that the remote radio control is pro-
tected from unauthorised access (particularly
by children!).
– Never tow the caravan with the drive rollers
applied. This can cause damage to the tyres,
the towing vehicle and the drive units.
– All wheels and tyres on the caravan must be
of the same size and design.
