– In order to ensure that the Mover® 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 instruc-
tions and checked regularly. Tyre wear or the
fitting of new tyres may make it necess-
ary to readjust the gap between the drive
rollers and the tyres (see "Fitting the drive
elements").
– When using a jack, the Mover® must not be
used as a jacking point as this can damage
the drive assembly.
– Sensitive objects such as cameras, DVD
players etc. must not be kept in the stow-
age box near the control unit or the motor
cables, as the powerful electromagnetic
fields may damage them.
– The empty weight of the vehicle increases by
the weight of the Mover®, which reduces the
payload of the vehicle.
– Remove the plug from the safety socket after
manoeuvring, otherwise the battery will be
discharged.
Quiescent current with plug inserted approx.
300 mA.
Quiescent current with plug removed < 2 mA.

General instructions

The Mover® TE R4 has been designed to cope
with inclines of up to approx. 10 % bearing a
gross weight of 3000 kg on a suitable surface.
Depending on the weight of the caravan, the
Mover® may not be able to overcome ob-
stacles more than about 3 cm in height with-
out auxiliary equipment (please use ascent
chocks).
As a result of 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 Mover® may be briefly
interrupted.
When the Mover® is switched off using the
remote control, the control unit remains in
standby. In order to switch off completely the
battery must be disconnected or an isolating
switch installed.

Batteries

For optimum operation we recommend the Truma Mover®
PowerSet, which contains batteries with button cells and an
appropriate charger.
So-called drive, lighting and gel batteries with sufficient ca-
pacity are also suitable.

Recommended battery capacities

Button cell technology
Gel / AGM
Lead-acid battery (liquid electrolyte)
Starter batteries are not suitable
Batteries with greater capacity allow the equipment to
be used for longer.

Charger

For optimum battery charging we recommend the Truma BC
10 charger, which is suitable for all battery types up to 200 Ah.
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
power circuit (e.g. using circuit breaker or by disconnecting
the battery poles),
– for longer stop periods the battery must be disconnected
and charged for 24 hours at least every 12 weeks.
In winter, store fully charged battery in a cool and frost-free
place and recharge at regular intervals (every 12 weeks).

Function description

Always observe the operating instructions and the
"Safety instructions" prior to starting! The vehicle owner
is responsible for correct operation of the device.
Please note that the Mover® TE R4 is only suitable for
twin-axle trailers.
The Mover® is a manoeuvring system which allows a caravan
to be manoeuvred without the aid of the towing vehicle.
It consists of two separate drive assemblies, each with its
own 12 V DC motor. These units are mounted on the frame
of the vehicle in the immediate vicinity of the wheels, and are
connected by lateral bars.
Once the drive rollers have been engaged against the tyres
using the remote control, the Mover® is ready for operation. It
is operated exclusively via the remote control, which transmits
radio signals to the control unit. A separately installed 12 V
lead-acid battery or suitable lead-gel battery (not supplied)
provides the control unit with electrical power.
