Coupling To A Towing Vehicle; Maintenance; Checks; Emergency Disengagement - Truma Mover TE R4 Gebrauchsanweisung, Einbauanweisung

The Softstart / Softstop makes the caravan start to move
without jolting, and brakes it gently when stopping.
When the buttons are released, or if the radio signal is inter-
rupted or becomes too weak, the caravan stops moving.
Radio equipment or other Mover® remote controls will not
activate your Mover®.
After starting up, the Mover® moves at a uniform speed. Speed
increases slightly on downhill slopes and decreases on uphill
slopes.
After manoeuvring, apply the parking brake first and then
disengage the drive rollers from the tyres.
Move the slide switch on the remote control to the "Off"
position to switch off the remote control and the Mover®.
The slide switch also acts as an "Emergency Stop"
switch.
Remove the plug from the safety socket after manoeuvring,
otherwise the battery will be discharged. Quiescent current
with plug inserted approx. 300 mA.

Coupling to a towing vehicle

The Mover® allows a caravan to be coupled to a towing ve-
hicle with millimetric precision. However, this requires care
and a degree of practice.
Following the operating instructions, move the caravan close
to the towing vehicle (apply parking brake and engage gear).
In order to position the caravan precisely, press the appropri-
ate direction button briefly and repeatedly until the caravan's
coupling is located precisely over the ball coupling on the
towing vehicle. Then couple the caravan to the vehicle by low-
ering it at the support wheel in the usual manner.
Prepare the caravan for towing in the usual way.
The caravan must not be towed with the drive rollers
engaged.

Maintenance

Keep drive elements clear of coarse road dirt. When cleaning
the caravan, spray the Mover® with a water hose to remove
mud etc. Make sure that no stones, twigs etc. are trapped in
it. The control unit does not require servicing. The remote con-
trol must be kept in a dry place.
Every year (or before overwintering), clean the Mover® as
described above, dry it and spray the drive assembly guides
lightly with spray oil or similar water-repellent lubricants. Do
not put lubricant on the rollers or the tyres. Engage and
disengage the drive assemblies a few times to allow the lubri-
cant to penetrate all the guides. Do not park the caravan with
the drive rollers engaged.
To prevent the battery from becoming totally discharged dur-
ing long periods of inactivity it must be disconnected and
recharged before using again. Charge the caravan battery
before starting up.
It is extremely easy for you or your caravan dealer to perform
the checking and maintenance of your Mover® during the
annual inspection of your caravan. In case of doubt, please
contact Truma Service (see www.truma.com).

Checks

– Check the installation, wiring and connections for damage
at regular intervals. The drive assemblies must be able to
move freely and be returned automatically to the safe idle
position when they are disengaged. If this is not the case,
check the drive assemblies for dirt or corrosion on their
guides, cleaning them if necessary. Undo all moving parts
as required and oil or spray with a spray oil (such as WD40)
to ensure that the equipment moves correctly and provides
the full range of movement.
– After the annual inspection, check whether all motors react
properly to the buttons on the remote control.
– At least every 2 years, an expert must check the Mover® for
rust, check that detachable parts are firmly attached and
check that all safety-related parts are in good working order.

Emergency disengagement

If the caravan battery is discharged to the extent that electri-
cal disengagement no longer works, or if a defect is present,
disengagement can also be performed manually.
Prise out the plastic cap (m) at the rear end of the engage-
ment motor using a screwdriver. Attach the socket wrench
(WAF 7 – included in the scope of delivery) to the hex bolt and
disengage drive assembly by rotating in an anticlockwise di-
rection. Repeat the procedure for all drive assemblies
Figure 4
Once the battery has been charged or the fault remedied, the
rollers can be engaged electrically again.

Troubleshooting

Check that the batteries in the remote control are in immacu-
late condition!
Check whether the caravan plug has been plugged into the
safety socket!
Check whether the caravan battery is in immaculate condition
and is fully charged! Please note that battery performance can
deteriorate considerably at cold ambient temperatures.
Check whether the flat fuses (20 A) for the engagement mo-
tors are OK. If the fuses are defective, check the connecting
cables of the engagement motors at the control units for pos-
sible short circuiting!
Perform a reset (approx. 10 seconds – briefly disconnect bat-
tery or disconnect and reconnect safety plug)! Check again
the correct position of all drive assemblies.
If these actions do not remedy the problem, please contact
Truma Service.
