INSTALLATION - SAFETY GUIDELINES 

Read this user manual carefully before installation and use. Failure to comply with these rules 
could result in serious injury or damage to property.

 

These symbols identify important safety precautions. They mean CAUTION! WARNING! 
SAFETY FIRST! IMPORTANT INFORMATION!

 

Before starting installation under the caravan:

 

• 

Check the towing load of your vehicle and the gross weight of your caravan in order to establish whether they 
are designed for the additional weight. The manoeuvring system itself has a weight of about 37kg and a battery 
has a weight of about 20-25kg. 

• 

Check 

the 

minimal installation 

dimensions 

of 

the 

manoeuvring 

system

 

based  on 

figure 

2.  

• 

Check that the caravan is disconnected from the battery supply and the mains electrical supply.   

• 

Only use adapters and accessories that are supplied or recommended by the manufacturer. 

• 

Check 

that 

the 

tyres 

are 

not 

worn 

and 

do 

have 

the 

same 

size

 

and 

design  (fitting  to 

new 

or 

nearly  new 

tyres 

is 

the 

best option). 

• 

Make sure that the tyre-

pressures are correct to the manufacturer’s recommendation. 

• 

Make sure the chassis is in good condition without any damage and is free from rust, dirt etc. 

• 

Stop work immediately if you are in doubt about the assembly or any procedures and consult one of our 
engineers (please refer to contact information on the last page of this manual). 

• 

Locate the battery isolation switch. It must be accessible at all times when parking and moving the caravan. 

• 

Do not remove, change or alter any parts of the chassis, axle, suspension or brake mechanism. Any drilling of 
holes in the chassis is not allowed. 

• 

Do  not 

install 

the 

unit 

if 

you 

are 

under 

the 

influence 

of

 

drugs,  alcohol  or 

medication 

that 

could 

impair  your 

ability 

to 

use the 

equipment safely. 

 

INSTALLATION - MECHANICAL COMPONENTS 

FOR PROFESSIONAL INSTALLATION ONLY. These instructions are for general guidance. 
Installation procedures may vary depending on caravan type.

 

Working under a vehicle without appropriate support is extremely dangerous!

 

Please refer to figure 3 for an overview of the whole assembly fully fitted.
