WARNING
4
Charge the battery completely before first use!
The lithium battery installed in this machine has only been charged to
partial capacity (as freight regulations prescribe). It is vital that you charge
the battery to its full capacity before operating the machine to ensure high
performance and long life. Charging for the first time may take 6-8 hours
(see recharging instructions).
Recharge Periodically!
If the RVR goes unused for more than two months, it is highly recommended
to inspect and charge the battery in order to maintain maximum battery life
and performance.
Do not store the RVR in direct sunlight or at high temperatures. High
temperatures may drain the battery quickly.
Failure to follow these instructions may damage the battery and void the
battery’s warranty!

against the coupler may cause the ball to slip
out of the coupler.
CHARGING THE RVR12
1. Before charging your RVR12, be sure the radio and tug are both turned OFF.
2. The charging indicator light on the charger should light up red once the charger
is connected properly. The tug will be fully charged once the charge indicator light
turns green.
It is recommended to leave the tug charging when not in use.
3. Once it is fully charged, unplug the charger and turn the tug on. Then turn the
tug off for a few seconds and back on again. This will resets the tug. It is now
ready to be used.

CONTROLLER OPERATION
NOTE: The 3 Speed Toggle ranges from fast, moderate, and slow.
When operating the valet at slow speeds it may be necessary to switch to the
moderate or fast speed position on the toggle when turning at 90 degrees.
Factors such as terrain and incline may affect the maneuverability of the valet.
Adjust the speed at your own discretion.
STEP 1. Switch the controller on and make sure the power indicator light turns
on and the controller beeps once. If this does not happen, check to make sure
the batteries were installed correctly. When the battery level in the controller
becomes low the controller will begin to beep, signaling you to replace or
recharge the batteries.
STEP 2. To drive the valet, move the control stick in the desired direction.
WARNING: The control stick on the remote
is very sensitive and will cause the valet to
move if it is moved accidentally. When not
using the remote it is recommended that
the power switch is turned OFF.
NOTE: If the remote is not used for more
than a couple minutes it will start beeping
as an indicator that it is still in the ON
position. This is not an indicator of low
battery level.

1. Before turning on the RVR, make sure that the tracks and bottom of the RVR
are free from obstruction.
2. Turn the RVR on using the ON/OFF button. There will be a short series of beeps
and then the power indicator LED around the Power button will illuminate to show
the RVR is on. The Power Indicator LED may blink to indicate that the charge level
of the battery is low.
3. Turn on the power switch on the radio controller and the power indicator LED
will be green and the transmit indicator LED will be red.
4. When towing, ALWAYS be cautious of the steering angle limitations of your
trailer. Do not over steer your trailer with the RVR.
5. After lifting the RVR off of the ground for any reason or taking it on and off of
your trailer, you must check to make sure that the sprockets are correctly seated
on the tracks. If the sprocket is not properly seated it could result in damage to
the tracks.
6. Visually check the tracks for wear on the treads and wear on the inner plastic
surfaces. Also inspect for damaged or missing rotoclips as a result of driving
over small rocks. Damaged treads should be replaced before operating the RVR.
NOTE: The circuit breaker reset button will trip if the RVR is overloaded. To reset
the circuit breaker open the top cover to push the reset button down. If the reset
button pops back up, wait 1 minute then try again.
NOTE: If your trailer has built-in brakes, they must be disengaged prior to operation
of the Trailer Valet. Consult your trailer manufacturer’s manual/instructions on
temporary brake release. If this is not available to you, please contact Trailer Valet
Customer Support through phone or email for assistance.
When using your RVR to move your trailer UP a slope or edge, the RVR must PUSH
the trailer up the slope – if necessary, one wheel at a time. When moving your trailer
DOWN a slope the RVR must LEAD the trailer DOWN the slope.
ATTENTION: If going downhill, it is very important that the RVR is turned 180
degrees, so that it is moving in reverse, down the hill, i.e. with the antenna opposite
the maneuvering direction and facing the trailer. This is important, as the RVR might
otherwise tip over forward.
DO NOT use the RVR on slopes and inclines exceeding a strict maximum of 5
degrees on a paved/concrete surface. This rating is subject to factors including,
but not limited to, alternate surfaces, weight distribution, changes in weight
capacity, and use on multi-axle trailers. If you have any questions concerning the
use of your Trailer Valet RVR on a slope or incline, please contact us at (844) 846-
9344 or email us at: support@trailervalet.com

TREAD MAINTENANCE
10
ADJUSTING TRACK TENSION
Over time, the tracks on your unit will stretch. This is expected after the first couple
uses. To tighten your track, first, loosen the retaining bolt shown below using a 14
mm socket wrench. Only a half to quarter turn is needed to loosen the bolt. DO NOT
attempt to remove the bolt.
Next, insert a wedge implement, such as a flathead screwdriver, into an exposed
tensioning notch closest to the retaining bolt.
Tighten the track by moving the notch in the direction away from the retaining bolt.
While maintaining this tension, re-tighten the retaining bolt to secure the track in
place.
REPLACING TREAD SECTION
1. Remove 2 adjacent Rotoclips from the front end of the tug. Remove 2 track pins
with the Rotoclips on the opposite end intact and 2 track links.
Tip: Tap the end of the track pin using a hammer to drive the pin through the
Rotoclip. The Rotoclip will not be reusable after.
2. Remove one track segment and
align the ends of the track.

REMOTE CHARGING & BATTERIES

CHARGING THE REMOTE CONTROL
WARNING: Only use the supplied charger to charge the remote control when
using the supplied batteries or the following:
- 1200mAh Ni-MH or Ni-Cd ‘AA’ Rechargeable Batteries
The use of the remote charger with alkaline batteries installed can damage
the remote control. Do not use the charger if alkaline batteries are installed in
the remote control.
1. Plug the remote control charger into a 110v AC wall socket.
2. Plug the connector from the charger into the charging jack on the remote
control. The charging indicator LED, located on the side of the remote control, will
illuminate green indicating the remote control is charging. Once the remote control
is fully charged the charging indicator LED will turn off.
3. The charging rate of the charger is 150mAh. When using the 1200mAh batteries
that are supplied, the controller requires a 2-4 hour charge when fully discharged
(1200/150=8). If using 2200mAh batteries, it will take approximately 4-6 hours to
recharge (2200/150=14.6).
It is recommended to keep the transmitter charging when not in use.

tracks are too tight making it difficult to align the pin holes.
Insert the Track Pin Tools on the inside and outside adjacent pins to the missing pin
hole. Note: You will need to hold these in place by hand.
