Changing the batteries in the remote handset
Please be sure to use leak proof micro -
batteries only, type LR 03, AAA, AM 4,
MN 2400 (1.5 V).
When fitting new batteries ensure the
polarity is correct!
Dead and used batteries may leak
and damage the remote handset!
Remove the batteries if the handset is not
going to be used for an extended period.
No claims under guarantee will be considered for
damage caused by leaking batteries.
Before throwing away a defective handset, it is essential that
the batteries are removed and disposed of in proper manner.
Manoeuvring the Caravan
Please read the "Safety instructions" before using
the Mover®!
With the caravan uncoupled (apply handbrake), engage the
drive rollers to the tyres using the provided lever. Swivel the
lever until it cannot be swivelled any further without using
excessive force. The drive unit securely engages in the end
position.
Before operating the Mover®, release the handbrake.
Move slide switch (a) on remote hand set to the "On"
– green LED flashes for 5 seconds in combination with the
acoustic alarm until the control unit is ready for operation.
The six direction buttons provide movement in six directions –
forward, reverse, left forward, left reverse, right forward, right
reverse.
The "left forward" (e) and "right reverse" (f) or "right forward"
(d) and "left reverse" (g) buttons can also be pressed simulta-
neously in order to turn the caravan 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.
Move slide switch on remote control to the "Off"
to switch the remote control and the Mover® off.
The slide switch also acts as an "Emergency stop"
switch.
After manoeuvring, first apply the handbrake and then dis-
engage the drive rollers away from the tyres.

Hitching to a tow car
It is totally possible to position the caravan's hitch to a station-
ary 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
not 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
disengage the drive units in and out 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
recharged before using again. Charge the caravan battery
before starting up.
❙
position
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
by the return spring 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.

Is the caravan battery in good condition and fully charged?
Please note that battery performance can deteriorate rapidly at
cold ambient temperatures.
Perform a reset by briefly disconnecting the battery (for
approx. 10 seconds).
If the fault cannot be remedied, please contact your dealer or
the Truma Service department (see Truma Service Booklet or
