Quattro QUATTRO500-Rhodium, Installation Manual

EN-18

Installation - Classic Clamp System (Fig.10.1) cont.

Loosely assemble the main cross bar (3) inside motor framework side (1) and motor framework side 

(2) (see Fig.1). The nuts/bolts (Fig.1B) on motor framework (1&2), must be no more than finger-tight at 

this stage.

Place the assembly (Fig.1) loosely under the caravan. In principle, the unit should be fitted in front of 

the caravan road wheels, but if fitting in this position is not possible, it is permissible to fit it to the rear 

of the wheels by rotating the whole assembly by 180° degrees.

Typically the Shark Clamp will be pre-assembled onto the motorsides for ease of fitting, but if the 

clamps have been purchased separately or are not pre-assembled, they should be assembled onto 

the framework as shown in (Fig.15). Before attempting to install the mover onto your caravan chassis 

ensure that the pinch bolts (Fig.10.2B) are removed and put safely to the side.

In turn, open each jaw to its widest position (loosen nuts if required) and hang the motorside 

framework onto the chassis. If the caravan chassis is a tall U profile, the nuts (Fig.10.2B) may need to 

be removed first to allow the jaws to be opened wide enough.

Loosen the crossbar nuts/bolts (Fig.1B) and adjust the lateral position of each motorside so that the 

rollers are central to the tyre, or as close to the centre as possible, ensuring 10mm of space is left 

between the tyre and gearbox for the Quattro Platinum (Fig.9). After adjusting ensure the clamps 

haven’t moved out of position by holding the framework motorside firmly, while reaching round and 

pushing the clamps outwards until the fastening bolts and chassis are within 1-2mm of each other. 

Once happy with the overall width of the mover system, tighten crossbar nuts/bolts (Fig.1B) to  

9ft lbs/12Nm to set the width.

Slide the whole assembly along the chassis until the rollers (Fig.2A or Fig.4A) are 20mm away from 

the surface of the centre each tyre (Fig.5 or Fig.7). Two 20mm spacers (30) are provided. Fully tighten 

the clamp bolts (Fig.10.2A) on both clamping assemblies to a torque setting of 40 ft lbs/55Nm. When 

tightening one clamp bolt, the other may loosen slightly so it may take several passes to get both bolts 

fully torqued on each clamp. A tip is to do all clamp bolts up until there is a strong resistance before 

torquing fully.

Insert pinch bolt (Fig.10.2B) and tighten to a torque setting of 18 ft lbs/25Nm, ensuring while doing 

this, that the retaining nut is at the highest position. Once the bolt is secure, tighten the retaining nut. 

Finally tighten the pivot bolt (Fig.10.2.C) to 9ft lbs/12Nm.

Installation - Quick-fit Shark Clamp System (Fig.10.2)

Fully tighten the four nylock nuts (17) on both clamping assemblies (Fig.10.1) to a torque setting of 40 

ft lbs/55Nm, then the four bolts (Fig.1B) on the Main Cross Bar (3) and the four bolts (Fig.1C) on Cross 

Actuation assembly (4 & 5) to a torque setting of 9ft lbs/12Nm. Re-check the distance of 20mm from 

the rollers to the tyres and if necessary, loosen the bolts and re-adjust the position of the assembly. 

Once satisfied with the position of the assembly, fit and tighten the Chassis Stop Nuts & Bolts (7) , 

one pair in each of the Upper Classic Clamp Plates (see Fig.10.1). Tighten to a torque setting of 40 ft 

lbs/55Nm. The Stop Bolts grip the lip of the chassis and help prevent the mover from sliding along the 

chassis. The main mechanical components have now been installed.
