Charger
For optimum battery charging we recommend the Truma
BC 10 charger, which is suitable for all battery types up to
200 Ah.
Notes for handling batteries
– When handling batteries, pay attention to the manufactur-
er's safety instructions and data sheets
– Ensure that the terminal clamps are secure.
– Secure battery poles with protection caps in order to pre-
vent a short circuit
– When removing the battery, first disconnect the earth con-
nection (negative terminal), followed by the positive termi-
nal. When installing the battery, first connect the positive
terminal followed by the negative terminal.
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 current is
drained;
– for stationary periods of longer than 24 hours, interrupt
power circuit (e.g. using circuit breaker or by disconnecting
the battery poles),
– for longer stationary periods the battery must be discon-
nected 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).
Function description
Always observe the operating instructions and the
“Safety instructions” prior to starting. The vehicle owner
is responsible for correct operation of the device.
Please note that the
Mover is only suitable for single-
axle trailers.
The Mover is a manoeuvring system which allows a caravan
to be manoeuvred without the aid of the towing vehicle.
It consists of two separate drive units, each with its own
12VDC motor. These units are installed on the chassis right
next to the wheels and are connected with crossbars.
– Do not put the ready-to-operate remote control in your
pocket or lay it down, otherwise functions could be trig-
gered accidentally via the control knob or slide control.
– Never tow the caravan with the drive rollers engaged, as
this may cause damage to the tyres, the towing vehicle and
the drive units, as well as to attachments.
– All wheels and tyres on the caravan must be of the same
size and type. If this is not observed, there is a risk of injury.
– To ensure that the Mover works properly, the gap between
the tyres and the disengaged drive rollers must be 20 mm.
All tyres must have the same pressure – according to the
manufacturer's instructions (check regularly). Tyre wear
or fitting new tyres may require an adjustment of the gap
between the drive rollers and tyres (see “Installing the drive
units”).
– When jacking up the vehicle, do not use the Mover as a
support point as this could damage the drive unit and the
vehicle.
– Sensitive objects such as cameras, DVD players etc. must
not be kept in the stowage box near the control unit or the
motor cables, The strong electromagnetic fields could dam-
age
themthem.
– The empty weight of the vehicle increases by the weight of
the Mover, which reduces the payload of the vehicle.
– When engaging, make sure that there are no objects (e.g.
stones, lumps of ice) between the drive roller and tyre in
particular.
– Inspect the system for damage before use.
The system must not be used if it is damaged.
General instructions
The Mover is a manoeuvring assistant with which a caravan
can be moved without the help of the towing vehicle.
The Mover has been designed to cope with inclines of up to
approx. 13 % bearing a gross weight of 2000kg on a suitable
surface.
Depending on the weight of the caravan, the Mover cannot
overcome obstacles from a height of about 20mm without an
aid (use ramps).
Due to the characteristic properties of a radio signal, it may be
interrupted by terrain / objects. This reduces reception quality
in small areas around the caravan, as a result of which the op-
eration of the Mover may be briefly interrupted. In this case,
the remote control must be switched off and on again.
When the Mover is switched off using the remote con-
trol, the control unit remains in standby. To completely
switch it off, the battery must be disconnected or isolated
from the power supply via a previously installed circuit
breaker.
Power supply
For optimum operation, we recommend the
Truma PowerSet BC and high-performance Optima® batteries.
Drive, lighting and gel batteries with sufficient capacity are
also suitable.
