The single-twin axle function switch (Fig. 14S/T): The Camec Elite
is suitable for both single axle and twin axle caravans. You just need to move the single-twin axle function
switch (Fig 14S/T) on the control unit, so that the manoeuvring system can be used for a single-axle caravan
or a twin-axle caravan (for 2 motor use but also for 4 motor use). In the twin axle function the all wheels will
drive but at a different speed.
The switch standard pre-selected for single axle use (Fig 14S). For twin axle use, just move the switch to the
twin axle position (Fig. 14T). When move the single-twin axle function switch, the battery power isolation
switch (29) must be turned off.
OPERATION - GETTING STARTED
Please 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 (7) onto the engagement spindle (Fig. 11) 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.
Turn on the battery power isolation switch (29).
Before operating the manoeuvring system, release the handbrake.
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.
Now you can choose the movements according the symbols shown on the remote control. Straight forward (Fig.
5B), straight reverse (Fig. 5C), left forward (Fig. 5D), left reverse (Fig. 5F), right forward (Fig. 5E), right
reverse (Fig. 5G).
In addition, the left forward (Fig. 5D) and right reverse (Fig. 5G) buttons or right forward (Fig. 5E) and left
reverse (Fig. 5F) buttons may be pressed at the same time to turn the caravan around on its own axis without
moving forward or backward.
When you drive straight forwards or reverse (press button 5B or 5C), it is also possible to adjust the direction
by additional pressing button 5D or 5E (when driving forwards) or button 5F or 5G (when driving reverse).
Because of the "soft start" technology, the caravan will slowly speed up. Because of the "soft stop" technology,
the caravan will stop slowly. This allows you to manoeuvre your caravan even more accurately without any
shocks.
WARNING: 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).
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.
After the "soft start" stage the caravan moves according one fixed speed. The speed can increase a little when
going downhill and decrease a little when going uphill. TIP: The manoeuvring system is more efficient when
reversing the caravan up an incline.
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.
When you are finished with manoeuvring you need to secure the handbrake.
Disengage the drive rollers from the tyres. Fully disengage the rollers by turning the handle on the engagement
Spindle (Fig. 11) until it no longer turns without excessive force. The pointer of the traction indicator label (Fig.
9A) will be in the beginning of the yellow area.
Before you start driving always make sure that the both drive units are fully disengaged!
