OPERATION - GETTING STARTED 

Please make sure you read the safety 
instructions very  carefully and make sure 
that you follow these guidelines!

 

Make sure that the battery that supplies the 
system is fully charged and in good 
condition.

 

Make sure that the caravan is free from the 

vehicle and the handbrake is on. Also make sure that the 
corner steady feet are fully raised.

 

• 

Fit the end socket of the engagement tool (7) onto the 
engagement spindle (Fig. 19) on the right or left hand 
motor unit. This only needs to be done on one side of 
your caravan since the other side will automatically follow 
via the cross actuation bar. 

• 

Turn the handle until it will turn no more without 
excessive force. The colour of the traction indicator label 
(Fig.20A) should be in the green area. 

• 

Turn on the battery power isolation switch (29). 

• 

Before operating the manoeuvring system, release the 
handbrake. 

• 

Activate the manoeuvring system by move slide switch to  
“On”-I on the remote control (Fig. 21A). The green LED (Fig. 21H) on the remote control handset will illuminate 

and you will hear a short beep. The remote control is ready for use.  

Now you can choose the movements according the symbols shown on the 

remote control:  

In addition, the left forward (Fig. 21D) and right reverse (Fig. 21G) buttons or right 

forward (Fig. 21E) and left reverse (Fig. 21F) buttons may be pressed at the 
same time to turn the caravan around on its own axis without moving forward or  
backward. 

When you drive straight forwards or reverse (press button 21B or 21C), it is also 

possible to adjust the direction by additionally pressing button 21D or 21E (when 

driving forwards) or button 21F or 21G (when driving reverse). Because of the “soft start” technology, the caravan 

will slowly speed up. Because of the “soft stop”  technology, the caravan will stop slowly. This allows you to 
manoeuvre your  caravan even more accurately without any shocks. 

WARNING: When the buttons on the remote control handset are released, the caravan will 
slowly 

 

stop after 0.5 second and continue to move about 6cm (depending on final speed). When the  
buttons of the remote control handset are released when the system is still in the “soft start” 

stage (slowly speed up), the caravan will stop immediately.

 

After 

the 

“soft 

start” 

stage 

the 

caravan moves  accordingly 

one 

fixed 

speed.  The

 

speed  can 

increase a 

little 

when 

going 

downhill and decrease a little when going 

uphill. 

TIP:

 

The 

manoeuvring 

system  is 

more 

efficient when 

reversing 

the

 

caravan up an incline. 

• 

After manoeuvring, deactivate the manoeuvring system by moving the slide switch to “Off”-O on the remote  
control handset (Fig. 21A). The green LED (Fig. 21H) on the remote control handset will turn off. Store remote  
control in a safe place (out of reach of children or other unauthorised people).
