7. SAFETY PRECAUTIONS
• Practice in an area which is free from parked cars and/or other obstacles.
•Be sure that there are no children playing near the caravan during practicing.
•Before you enable the drive-rollers to the tires, be sure that no little stones or other sharp objectsare stuck
between the drive-rollers and the tires.
•Do not stay too far from the caravan, so you are always able to intervene if necessary.
A distance of 4 meters is suffcient. In the event of a malfunction, immediately switch off the system by
pressing the on/off button on the remote control or turn off the main power switch and apply the hand brake.
•If the caravan is moved down hill, please note that the drawbar of the caravan is pointed down.
This enhance the stability of the caravan during movement and prevents swaying or tippingof the caravan.
•Once the caravan is parked, pull the handbrake, only then retract the drive-rollers from the tires
•Store the remote controlin a safe and dry location out of reach of small children.
•The caravan must never be towed while the drive-rollers are pressed on the tyres, this can cause severe
damage to the drive-rollers, tyres or caravan chassis.
•Never store personal electronic equipment such as a camera, a laptop, a computer or any digital playback
devices in the same compartment as the electronic receiver or near electric cables.
•The magnetic field generated by the electrical system may damage your equipment.
•When the caravan will be stored for a long period, we recommend you to remove the two AA batteries
from the remote control. This prevents damage to the remote controlas a result of leaking batteries.
Also turn off the main power switch during storing the caravan.
•Dispose of discharged or leaking batteries in the chemical waste container intended for this purpose.
When stowing the caravan for two months or longer, we advice yo to remove the caravan battery and
charge it every 2-3 months in order to avoid a deep discharge of the battery.
•Make sure the battery is fully charged before using the mover.
•Check the pressure of your caravan tires, contact your dealer for the right tire pressure.
