RH 2 Manoeuvring Assistant
Batteries
For optimum operation we recommend batteries with button
cells and an appropriate charger.
So-called drive, lighting and gel batteries with sufficient capacity
are also suitable.
Recommended battery capacities
Button cell technology at least 55 Ah
Gel / AGM at least 70 Ah
Lead acid battery (liquid electrolyte) at least 80 Ah
Starter batteries are not suitable
Batteries with greater capacity allow the equipment to be
used for longer.
Battery care (including maintenance-free batteries)
In order to achieve a long battery service life, attention must be
paid to the following points:
– Batteries should be fully charged before and after removing
power,
– for stationary periods of longer than 24 hours, interrupt
power circuit (e.g. using circuit breaker or by disconnecting
the battery poles),
– for longer stop periods the battery must be disconnected and
charged for 24 hours at least every 12 weeks.
In winter, store the fully-charged battery in a cool and
frost-free place and recharge at regular intervals (every
12 weeks).
Notes for handling batteries
– When handling batteries, pay attention to the manufacturer’s
safety instructions and data sheets
– Ensure that the terminal clamps are secure.
– Secure battery poles with protection caps in order to prevent
a short circuit
– When removing the battery, first disconnect the earth con-
nection (negative terminal), followed by the positive terminal.
When installing the battery, first connect the positive terminal
followed by the negative terminal.
Function description
Always observe the operating instructions and the “Safety
instructions” prior to starting! The vehicle owner is respon-
sible for correct operation of the device.
The manoeuvring assistant is a system that allows a caravan
to be manoeuvred without the aid of the towing vehicle.
The manoeuvring assistant consists of two separate drive
units, each with its own 12 V DC motor. These units are mount-
ed on the frame of the vehicle in the immediate vicinity of the
wheels, and are connected by lateral bars.
Once the drive rollers have been engaged using the lever pro-
vided, the manoeuvring assistant is ready for operation. It is
operated exclusively via the remote control, which transmits ra-
dio signals to the control unit. A separately installed 12 V lead-
acid battery or suitable lead-gel battery (not supplied) provides
the control unit with electrical power.

Switching on the remote control
No other remote control function must be active when the
remote control is switched on.
a = On / Off slide switch
On (LED 4 lights up*)
Off (LED 4 goes off)
* LED 4 flashes for approx. 5 seconds after the remote control
is switched on, until the system is ready for operation.
The following options are available for controlling the caravan:
b using the control knob only
c using the slide control only
b + c using the control knob and the slide control
The caravan symbol on the control knob indicates the current
direction of travel (of the caravan).
The slide control enables smooth forward / reverse travel.
Slide control only
(forwards, reverse)
– Push slide control forwards –> caravan moves
forwards (in the direction of the drawbar)
(both wheels rotate forwards)
– Pull slide control backwards –> caravan moves
backwards (in the opposite direction to the drawbar)
(both wheels rotate backwards)
Control knob only
(Right / left rotation around the middle of the caravan)
– Turn to the right –> caravan drawbar moves to the right
left wheel rotates forwards – right wheel rotates backwards
rotation around middle of caravan
– Turn to the left –> caravan drawbar moves to the left left
wheel rotates backwards – right wheel rotates forwards
rotation around middle of caravan
The caravan can be rotated on the spot without being moved
forwards.
