Power supply
For optimum operation, we recommend the Truma Mover
PowerSet and high-performance Optima® batteries.
So-called drive, lighting and gel batteries with sufficient ca-
pacity are also suitable.
Batteries
Recommended battery capacities
Button cell technology
at least 55 Ah
Gel / AGM
at least 70 Ah
Lead acid battery (liquid electrolyte)
at least 80 Ah
Starter batteries are not suitable
Charger
For optimum battery charging we recommend the Truma BC 10
charger, which is suitable for all battery types up to 200 Ah.
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 removing
power,
– for stationary periods of longer than 24 hours, interrupt
power circuit (e.g. using circuit breaker or by disconnecting
the battery poles),
– for longer stop periods the battery must be disconnected
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 assistant 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
12 V DC motor. These units are mounted on the chassis in the
immediate vicinity of the wheels and are connected by lateral
bars.
Once the drive rollers have been engaged against the tyres
using the lever provided, the Mover is ready for operation. It is
operated exclusively via the remote control, which transmits
radio signals to the control unit. A separately installed 12 V
lead-acid battery or suitable gel battery (not supplied) pro-
vides the control unit with electrical power.
– The empty weight of the vehicle is increased by the weight
of the Mover, thus reducing the vehicle’s payload.
– When engaging, make sure that there are no objects (e.g.
stones, lumps of ice) particularly between the drive roller
and tyres.
General instructions
The Mover is a manoeuvring assistant which allows a caravan
to be manoeuvred without the aid of the towing vehicle.
The Mover has been designed to cope with inclines of up to
approx. 13 % bearing a gross weight of 2000 kg on a suitable
surface.
Depending on the weight of the caravan, the Mover may not be
able to overcome obstacles more than about 20 mm in height
without auxiliary equipment (please use ascent chocks).
As a result of 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 operation of the Mover may be briefly interrupted. In this
eventuality, 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.
