    Once the appliances are paired, the red LED (Fig. 38-2) on the control unit and the symbol on the remote control light up continuously.
  • If pairing was unsuccessful, the red LED (Fig. 38-2) flashes and you have to repeat the process.

Care and maintenance

Cleaning and user-performed maintenance must not be carried out by children when unsupervised.


Severe to lethal injury due to short circuiting
Parts of the appliance are supplied with power over an on-board power supply consisting of 12 V batteries. In the event of high electrical loads or a short circuit, very high currents can flow through the supply lines, causing the cables to heat up and a cable fire to break out.

  • Fuse cables with appropriate safety fuses.
  • Cover the battery poles.
  • Cover open electrical contacts.
  • Use isolated plug-in connectors.

NOTICE
Damage to the manoeuvring system due to incorrect cleaning

  • Do not clean the manoeuvring system with a high-pressure cleaner.
  • Only use gentle detergents.

12 V battery care

Notes for handling batteries

  • When handling batteries, pay attention to the manufacturer's safety instructions and data sheets.
  • Ensure that the terminal clamps are secure.
  • When removing the battery, first disconnect the negative terminal, followed by the positive terminal.
  • When installing the battery, first connect the positive terminal, followed by the negative terminal.
  • When the batteries are removed, cover the terminals with protection caps to prevent a short circuit.

Battery care (including maintenance-free batteries)
In order to achieve a long battery service life, attention must be paid to the following points:

  • Batteries should be fully charged before and after removing power.
  • For stationary periods of longer than 24 hours, interrupt the power circuit (e.g. using the battery cut-off switch or by disconnecting the battery poles).
  • For longer stationary periods, the battery must be disconnected and charged at least every 12 weeks.

information In winter, store the fully charged battery in a cool, frost-free place and recharge it regularly (every 12 weeks).

Remote control care

  • Keep the remote control in a dry place.
  • During long periods of inactivity (e.g. in winter), the batteries must be removed from the remote control. This prevents damage to the remote control due to leaking batteries.

Tyre care

If the caravan is parked with the drive units engaged, the tyres can get pressure marks and damage.

  • Disengage the drive units when the caravan is parked.

Drive unit care

The drive units 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 units for dirt or corrosion on their guides and clean them if necessary to ensure they can move properly.
  • When cleaning the caravan, spray the manoeuvring system with a water hose and clean with a soft brush. Make sure that no stones, branches etc. are trapped.

Maintaining the manoeuvring system


Personal injury due to a lack of system maintenance
If the gap between the drive rollers and tyres is too large or if the tyre pressure is too low, there is a risk that the drive rollers will no longer engage completely with the necessary pressure.

  • Regularly check the gap between the drive rollers and tyres using the spacer plate.
  • Regularly check the caravan's tyres and the tyre pressure.
  • At least every 2 years, the manoeuvring system must be checked by an expert for rust, tight fit and the proper condition of all safety-relevant parts.

information The manoeuvring system is extremely easy to check or maintain during the caravan's annual inspection.
information If in doubt, please contact Truma Service (www.truma.com).

Maintaining the tyres

  • Before use, check the tyre pressure and that the drive rollers have the correct gap to the tyres when disengaged.
  • Every time tyres are replaced, check the gap between the drive rollers and the tyres and, if necessary, have it adjusted by a specialist shop.

Check the gap between the rollers and the tyres

The gap between the tyres and drive rollers can be checked using the spacer plate. The distance must be 20 +/- 1 mm.

  • Disengage the manoeuvring system.
  • Slide the spacer plate between the tyre and the drive roller.

The spacer plate may just fit between the tyre and the drive roller. If the spacer has too much play and falls through between the tyre and the drive roller, the gap must be readjusted.

  • Consult a specialist workshop to set the correct gap.

Standstill for an extended period of time

  • Clean the manoeuvring system as described above every year (or before preparing for winter).
  • In case of a longer standstill period, the battery must be disconnected. This prevents a deep discharge of the battery.
  • Charge the battery before starting up.

Maintenance of the control unit

The control unit does not require any maintenance

Repair

NOTICE
Damage due to repair work being carried out by incompetent individuals
If the manoeuvring system is damaged, further damage may result if untrained individuals perform the repair work or genuine Truma spare parts are not used.

  • Only have experts perform repair work on the manoeuvring system.
  • Use only original Truma spare parts.

Safety instructions

General safety

Disregarding the safety instructions and regulations may seriously endanger the health or life of persons or cause serious property damage.

  • Read the safety instructions and follow them exactly
  • Observe locally applicable laws, directives and standards relating to using and operating the appliance

Obligations of the operator/vehicle owner

Prerequisite for operation
Who is allowed to operate the manoeuvring system? The manoeuvring system may be operated only by persons of legal age who have been made aware of the potential risks when using the product and who are able to safely operate the manoeuvring system together with the vehicle.
Cleaning and maintenance must not be carried out by children without supervision.
Children must be supervised so that they do not play with the appliance.
Children under 3 years of age must be kept away from the appliance or supervised at all times.

  • Never allow children to play with the manoeuvring system
  • Never use the manoeuvring system under the influence of drugs, alcohol or medication

Condition of the tyres
In order to ensure that the manoeuvring system operates correctly, the gap between the tyres and the disengaged drive rollers must be 20 mm. All tyres must be inflated to the same pressure in accordance with manufacturer's instructions. Tyre wear or the fitting of new tyres may make it necessary to readjust the gap between the drive rollers and the tyres.

  • Regularly control the distance between the drive roller and the tyre
  • Regularly control the tire pressure

All wheels and tyres on the caravan must be of the same size and type In the event of disregard, safety during operation cannot be secured.
information Before using the manoeuvring system for the first time, practice with it to familiarise yourself with the functions of the remote control and of the manoeuvring system.

  • Inspect the manoeuvring system for damage before use. The manoeuvring system must not be used if it is damaged.
  • Before each use of the manoeuvring system, check the tyres and drive rollers; remove any sharp stones and similar objects between the drive rollers and tyres.

Safe operation

Drive rollers
If the drive rollers are not completely engaged, the caravan cannot be controlled.

  • Always fully engage the drive rollers.
    When engaging/disengaging and during operation of the shunting system, care must be taken to ensure that no hair, parts of the body, clothing or other parts of the body can be caught by moving parts of the shunting system (e.g. drive rollers).
    Never tow the caravan with the drive rollers engaged, as this may cause damage to the tyres, the towing vehicle and the drive units, as well as to accessories.
    Always apply the parking brake first after manoeuvring. Then block the wheels, especially on sloping surfaces (e.g. with wheel chocks) Then disengage the drive rollers from the tyres.
    The manoeuvring system is not suitable for use as a parking brake for the parked caravan.

Sloping ground
The caravan can tilting around its axle if the rear is moved downhill on slopes.

  • When manoeuvring on slopes the drawbar should be pointed downwards (downhill).

Distance to the manoeuvring system

information When manoeuvring, the distance between the radio remote control and the middle of the caravan must not exceed 10 m!
information Due to the characteristic properties of a radio signal, it may be interrupted by terrain/objects. This reduces reception quality in small areas around the caravan, as a result of which the operation of the manoeuvring system may be briefly interrupted.

  • If necessary, reduce the gap between the control unit and the remote control
  • Switch the remote control off and back on again

Persons inside the caravan

  • Only move caravans with a manoeuvring system when there is nobody inside

Persons outside the caravan

  • No persons, especially children, may be present in the turning and movement range (manoeuvring range) of the caravan

Keeping an overview of the situation

  • Ensure that there is sufficient visibility and space when manoeuvring

Switch off the manoeuvring system
After switching off the shunting system with the remote control, the control unit remains in standby mode. To completely switch it off, the battery must be disconnected or isolated from the power supply via a previously installed battery cut-off switch.
Do not put the ready-to-operate remote control in your pocket or lay it down, otherwise functions could be triggered accidentally via buttons or the control knob or slide control.
Always secure the remote control against unauthorized access. Pay particular attention to children.

General instructions relating to the manoeuvring system
When jacking up the caravan, the manoeuvring system must not be used as a support point, as this could damage the drive unit and the vehicle. The empty weight of the vehicle increases by the weight of the manoeuvring system, which reduces the payload of the vehicle.

  • Do not exceed the permissible gross weight when loading the caravan

Depending on the weight of the caravan, the manoeuvring system can only overcome obstacles (e.g. kerb) from a height of approx 3 cm with auxiliary equipment (e.g. levelling ramps).
Levelling ramps must not exceed an incline of 25% (14 °)! Otherwise, depending on the weight of the vehicle, it may not be possible to overcome the incline or the tyre tread may be damaged.

  • Levelling ramps or so-called tire protection systems to prevent flat-spotting often have steeper slopes and are not suitable for use with a manoeuvring system.

Sensitive objects, such as cameras, DVD players, etc., must not be stored in the stowage box near the control unit or the motor connector cable. The strong electromagnetic fields around the power cables could damage the appliances.

What to do if malfunctions occur

Emergency stop
The side slide switch on the remote control (ON/OFF) also acts as an "Emergency Stop switch" Switch the side slide switch to "OFF" immediately in case of any noticeable problems, e.g. uncontrolled behaviour of the manoeuvring system.
