Locate the battery isolation switch to be accessible at all times when parking and moving the trailer.
Do not remove, change or alter any parts of the chassis, axle, suspension or brake mechanism.
Do not operate the unit if you are under the influence of drugs, alcohol or medication that could impair your
ability to use the equipment safely.
Installation - Mechanical Components
FOR PROFESSIONAL INSTALLATION ONLY. These instructions are for general guidance.
Installation procedures may vary depending on trailer type.
Working under a vehicle without appropriate support is extremely dangerous!
Place the trailer on a hard, level surface. The use of a lifting ramp or an assembly pit is ideal for access and
personal safety.
Unpack all the components and check for the presence of all parts (see package contents list). Write down, on
the guarantee card and in the back of this manual, the 10-digit serial number (this is located on an aluminium
plate on the side of one of the motor units).
Clean the area of your chassis where you need to mount all components to ensure a good fitting.
Make sure the trailer is prepared for installation. Check before installation that important areas, such as
drains/spare tire etc. do not cause any obstruction to the function of the manoeuvring system.
Ensure both rollers are in the DISENGAGED position (Fig.10A), as the unit will not fit correctly otherwise (Note:
when fully disengaged, the pointer in the beginning of the yellow area).
Loosely assemble the left hand motor unit (1), right hand motor unit (2) and main cross bar (3) (see Fig.1).
The nuts (Fig.1B), on the cross bar (3) to secure both motor units, must be no more than finger-tight at this
stage.
Loosely fit the two chassis hanging brackets (8）to the chassis (Fig.2 & Fig.6) by using bolts M12 x 40 (19),
nuts M12 (21), spring washers(22) and plain washers (23). Place suitable quatity of 5mm shims (10) between
the two chassis hanging brackets (8), and then loosely fit the carrier plate (9) to the chassis hanging brackets
and 5mm shims by using bolts M12 x 50 (20), nuts M12 (21), spring washers (22) and plain washers (23),
choosing suitable holes in the chassis hanging brackets (8) to fix the carrier plate to
drive roller of the pre-mounted manoeuvring system approximately on the same altitude as the center(axle) of
the caravan wheel.
Loosely fit the bar support hanging bracket (12) to the carrier plate by using bolts M12 x 30
(18), nuts M12 (21) , spring washers (22) and plain washers (23). Nuts must be no more than finger-tight.
If you are NOT using the clamp bracket option and are bolting the bracket to the chassis you will need to
assemble the bracket with the mover attached for positioning. Ensure the mover is fully disengaged and
position the mover 20mm (3/4") away from the surface of the centre each tire (Fig.10). Two 20mm spacers (40)
are provided. Mark the chassis where you need to drill the holes and drill the holes. Remove the mover from
the bracket and bolt the bracket to the chassis.
Assemble the pre-mounted manoeuvring system to the steel chassis clamp plates (Fig.2 & Fig.6) by using the
cross member support bracket (11), bolts M10x40 (24), nuts M10 (25), spring washers (27) and plain washers
(26). Nuts must be no more than finger-tight.
Make sure that aluminium drive roller of the manoeuvring system is approximately on the same altitude as the
centre (axle) of the trailer wheel.
Adequate ground clearance: Please notice that the min. distance between the lowest line of
manoeuvring system and ground is 4 ½".
Assemble the parts of the cross actuation bar (4 & 5) and connect them to the motor units (1 & 2) with the
nylon nut and bolt (factory fitted) onto the cross actuation bar-connectors (Fig.1 & Fig.1A). Nuts must be no
more than finger-tight at this stage.
Make sure that the Main Cross Bar (3) and the Cross Actuation Centre Bar (4) are positioned in the middle of
the trailer/ manoeuvring system (the centre of the bars is marked).
With the main assembly is loosely fitted onto the chassis, slide the whole assembly along the chassis until the
rollers are 20mm (3/4") away from the surface of the centre each tyre (Fig.10). Two 20mm spacers (30) are
provided.
