Hitching To A Tow Car - Truma Mover S M2 Gebrauchsanweisung

Hitching to a tow car

It is totally possible to position the caravan's hitch to a
stationary car tow ball using the Mover, but take some care.
Use the instructions above as your guide. Use the button con-
trols to bring the caravan to the car (car handbrake "ON", and
car in gear). Use a button stabbing technique to exactly posi-
tion the hitch directly over the ball. Lower the hitch to the ball
and engage in the normal way using the jockey wheel.
Prepare the caravan for towing as usual. The caravan must
not be towed with the drive rollers swivelled in.
Maintenance
Please do not allow the drive units to become soiled with
coarse road material. When you are cleaning the caravan,
spray the Mover with a water hose to dissolve mud etc. Please
ensure that no stones, twigs or the like become trapped in the
equipment. The control unit does not require maintenance.
Please keep the remote hand set in a dry place.
Every year (and / or before putting away for the winter), clean
Mover as described, dry and lightly spray the drive unit guides
with oil spray or a similar water-repelling lubricant. Do not
put lubricant on the rollers or the tyres! Swivel the drive
units in and out several times to allow the lubricant to pen-
etrate all the guides. Do not park the caravan with the drive
rollers swivelled in.
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. If in doubt, please contact
the Truma Services (see Truma Service Booklet or
www.truma.com).
Checks
– Check the installation, wiring and connections for damage
at regular intervals. The drive units must be able to move
freely and be returned automatically to the safe idle position
by the return spring when they are swivelled out. If this is
not the case, examine drive units for soiling or corrosion at
the guides and clean if necessary. Undo all moving parts as
required and oil or spray with a lubricant 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.

Trouble-shooting
Before calling customer service, please check the following:
Are the batteries in the remote handset in good condition?
Is the caravan battery in good condition and fully charged?
Please note that battery performance can deteriorate rapidly at
cold ambient temperatures.
Perform a reset by briefly disconnecting the battery (for approx.
10 seconds).
If the fault cannot be remedied, please contact your dealer or
the Truma Service department (see Truma Service Booklet or
www.truma.com).
Synchronising the electronic control unit with
the radio remote hand set
The remote hand set and the control unit are
synchronised with each other in the factory.
If the control unit or the remote hand set is replaced, they
must be re-synchronised as described below.
Check the installation in accordance with the installation in-
structions and ensure that the drive rollers are not applied.
Check that the battery is properly connected, check the condi-
tion of the battery and that a voltage of 12 V is present at the
control unit. Please ensure that the caravan plug has been
plugged into the safety socket.
Press the reset button (k) on the control unit and hold down
(red LED – j – flashes slowly), and after approx. 5 seconds the
LED (j) starts to flash rapidly. Then release the reset button
and press and hold down the caravan reverse button on the
remote hand set (c) within 10 seconds, simultaneously swit-
ching on the remote hand set using the slide switch (a).
