If the pointer on the traction indicator label is in the green area, the rollers should be connecting correctly to the tyre (margin of 15mm).

If the pointer on the traction indicator label is in the yellow area, the rollers are not touching or depressing the tyre sufficiently.

If the pointer is in the red area, the rollers are connected to the tyre but in an extreme position. It could be that the tyre of the caravan has insufficient air pressure or the drive unit has been knocked out of position and a visit to a workshop is required to reposition the assembly.

In order to engage the rollers, fit the end socket of the engagement tool (6) on the spindle (Fig. 9) on the right or left drive unit and turn the handle (Fig. 10).

Disengage the drive rollers from the tyres. Fully disengage the rollers by turning the handle on the engagement Spindle (Fig. 9) until it turns no more without excessive force. The pointer of the traction indicator label (Fig. 11A) will be in the beginning of the yellow area.

Activate the manoeuvring system by move slide switch to “On”-I on the remote control (Fig. 5A). The green LED (Fig. 5H) on the remote control handset will illuminate and you will hear a short beep. The remote control is ready for use.

When you drive straight forwards or reverse (press button B or C), it is also possible to adjust the direction by additional pressing button D or E (when driving forwards) or button F or G (when driving reverse).

The ‘right forward’ (E) and ‘left reverse’ (F) buttons or ‘left forward’ (D) and ‘right reverse’ (G) buttons may be pressed at the same time to turn the caravan around on its own axis without moving forward or backward.

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.

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).

After manoeuvring, deactivate the manoeuvring system by moving the slide switch to “Off”-O on the remote control handset (Fig. 5A). The green LED (Fig. 5H) on the remote control handset will turn off. Store remote control in a safe place (out of reach of children or other unauthorised people). Turn off the battery power isolation switch.

Always apply the handbrake after manoeuvring, before disengaging the drive rollers from the tyres.

Green LED (Fig. 5H) is blinking, no buzzer: no communication between handset and control unit. This could be because of too much distance between remote control handset and control unit, or the battery isolation switch for manoeuvring system is not turned on or that there is a distortion signal disturbing the communication. As soon as connection is good again the green LED will be continue on and the system is ready to use.

Blue battery voltage LED (Fig. 5K) is blinking in combination with buzzer (2 times blinking, break, 2 times blinking, break etc.): Battery voltage too low (<10V). Battery needs to be recharged.

Blue battery voltage LED (Fig. 5K) is blinking in combination with buzzer (4 times blinking, break, 4 times blinking, break etc.): Battery Voltage too high (over charged). Try to discharge the battery by turning on a user (for example a lamp or water-pump).

Red overload LED (Fig. 5I) is blinking in combination with buzzer (6 times blinking, break, 6 times blinking, break etc.): Amp overload protection is activated. Wait about 60 seconds and try again.

Blue 9V battery LED (Fig. 5J) is blinking, no buzzer: The internal 9V battery is near empty and needs to be replaced.

When the battery is empty (blue 9V battery LED (Fig. 5J) is blinking), it needs to be replaced.

Open the rear cover of the handset (Fig. 7A).

Take out the dead/old battery and dispose in the appropriate way.

Install a new replacement battery (Fig. 7.1). Make sure to use a leak proof PP3 (9Volt) battery (No claims under guarantee can be considered for damage caused by leaking batteries).

Close the rear cover again.

Dead and used batteries may leak and damage the remote control handset! Remove the batteries if the handset is not going to be used for an extended period.

Green LED (Fig. 3B): Power LED continuously illuminated when system is activated (by moving slide switch to “On”-I). If the handset far away from the control unit, beyond the availably distance, this LED will go out.

Blue LED (Fig. 3C): Error message LED concerning caravan battery:

Blue LED is blinking (2 times blinking, break, 2 times blinking, break etc.): Battery voltage too low (<10V). Battery needs to be recharged.

Blue LED is blinking (4 times blinking, break, 4 times blinking, break etc.): Battery Voltage too high (over charged). Try to discharge the battery by turning on a user (for example a lamp or water-pump).

Red LED (Fig. 3D) is blinking (6 times blinking, break, 6 times blinking, break etc.): Amp overload protection is activated. Wait about 60 seconds and try again.

In general all error messages will reset automatically after one minute. If this is not the case, reset the electronics of the manoeuvring system by switching off the system via the isolation switch and the remote control handset for at least 15 seconds and then turning it on again.

The Reset Button (Fig. 3A) is used for re-synchronisation:

Check the installation in accordance with the installation instructions and ensure that the drive rollers are not applied. Check that the battery is properly connected, check the condition of the battery and that a voltage of 12 V is present at the control unit.

Please ensure that the battery isolation switch is on.

Activate the remote control handset by sliding the slide switch to “On”-I (Fig. 5A). The green LED on the remote control handset (Fig. 5H) starts to flash slowly.

Press the reset button (Fig. 3A) on the control unit. All three LED’s on the control unit (Fig. 3B, 3C & 3D) will flash slowly.

Press both forwards (Fig. 5B) and reverse (Fig. 5C) button on the remote control handset for about 3 seconds. Then the handset buzzer will give a short beep to confirm that the synchronisation is complete.

After successful synchronisation, the green LED on the control unit (Fig. 3B) and on the remote control handset (Fig. 5H) will illuminate continuously.

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 (6) onto the engagement spindle (Fig. 9) 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. 11A) should be into the green area.

It is possible to position the caravan’s hitch exactly over a stationery car’s tow ball using the manoeuvring system. But please be very careful!

Use the button controls on the remote control to bring the hitch of the caravan to the car. The soft start technology allows you to locate the tow-ball of the car by centimetre. It is better reach the tow ball with several short “trips” rather than trying to do it in one “trip”.

When the hitch is right above the tow ball of the vehicle, lower the hitch to the ball and engage in the normal way using the jockey wheel.

Release the rollers from the caravan’s tyres. You cannot tow the caravan with the drive units are engaged! Before you start driving always make sure that the both drive units are fully disengaged!

Trying to drive away with the drive units still engaged, will damage the manoeuvring system, your caravan tyres and strain your tow vehicle!

To prevent the battery from becoming totally discharged during long periods of inactivity it must be disconnected, fully charged and frost-proof stored.

Please check regularly that the rollers of the drive units are free of any dirt, or debris that may have been picked up from the road.

Regularly clean the drive units with a water hose to dissolve mud etc.

Please check regularly the distance between the rollers and the tyres. In the neutral (fully disengaged) position this must be about 20mm.

Once a year have your caravan manoeuvring system maintained and visually inspected. This inspection must include all the bolt/nut connections, the cables and electrical connections and lubrication of movable parts/joints.

Make sure that the battery power isolation switch (29) is turned on.

Check the cable-connection between the caravan battery and the control unit.

Check the fuse (80A) in the red positive battery cable (Fig. 6). If the fuse is blown, it must be replaced with a fuse of the same value (80A). Never “bridge” the fuse (if needed contact your emove supplier). To replace the fuse, first disconnect the positive (+) power cable from the battery. Than release the mounting screws that hold the fuse (Fig. 6A), replace the fuse (Fig. 6B), and finally tighten the screws securely. Close the housing of the fuse and connect the positive (+) power cable again to the battery. The system is ready again for use.

Check the battery of the remote control handset. If empty, renew the 9V battery.

Caravan battery could be empty. If empty, recharge completely or renew caravan battery before taking any further action.

Caravan battery could be overloaded. Check your charging equipment and try to discharge the battery by connecting/using a light or any other load. If this does not give any result, renew caravan battery before taking any further action.

Check the distance between the remote control and the caravan is not more than 5 metres. If there is no signal between the remote control handset and the control unit, the manoeuvring system will not function at all and the green LED on handset is blinking.

Check if there is any distortion signal (other transmitter, high power cables, Wifi etc.) that disturbs a good communication between remote control handset and control unit. If there is no good communication between the control unit and remote control handset, the manoeuvring system will not function and the green LED on remote control handset will blink.

In general, all error messages will reset automatically after one minute. If this is not the case, reset the electronics of the manoeuvring system by switching off the manoeuvring system via the isolation switch and the remote control handset for at least 15 seconds and then turn them on again.

Check the battery of the remote control. If empty, renew the 9V battery.

Caravan battery could be empty. If empty, recharge completely or renew caravan battery before taking any further action.

Caravan battery could be low – with the rollers engaged. Check the voltage drop on the caravan battery, if this drops well below 10 volts, charge or renew caravan battery

Caravan battery could be overloaded. Check your charging equipment and try to discharge the battery by connecting/using a light or other load. If this does not give any result, renew caravan battery before taking any further action.

Check the cable-connection between the caravan battery and the control unit.

Badly connected or corroded battery terminals can cause intermittent problems, check battery terminals, clean and connect again.

Check the distance between the remote control and the caravan is not more than 5metres. If there is no signal between the remote control handset and the control unit, the manoeuvring system will not function at all and the green LED on handset is blinking.

Check if there is any distortion signal (other transmitter, high power cables, Wifi etc.) that disturbs a good communication between remote control handset and control unit. If there is no good communication between the control unit and remote control handset, the manoeuvring system will not function and the green LED on remote control handset will blink.

In general, all error messages will reset automatically after one minute. If this is not the case, reset the electronics of the manoeuvring system by switching off the manoeuvring system via the isolation switch and the remote control handset for at least 15 seconds and then turn them on again.

The motor or gear is broken, please contact your emove supplier.

Check distance of rollers to tyres. You can move the rollers closer to the tyre. In certain circumstances, one of the caravan’s wheels may be moving on a surface with less traction than the other, in which case, you can move the rollers closer to the tyre.
