Trailer Valet RVR12 User manual

OPERATING MANUAL
RVR12

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 aect the maneuverability of the valet. Adjust the speed at your own discretion.
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.
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.

Controller Operation

1. Before turning on the valet, make sure that the tracks and bottom of the valet are free from
obstruction.
2. Turn the valet 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 valet 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 valet.
5. After lifting the valet o of the ground for any reason or taking it on and o 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 valet.
NOTE: The circuit breaker reset button will trip if the valet 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.

Charging the Transmitter
WARNING: Only use the supplied charger to charge the transmitter when using
the supplied batteries or the following:
- 1200mAh Ni-MH or Ni-Cd ‘AA’ Rechargeable Batteries
The use of the transmitter charger with alkaline batteries installed can damage
the transmitter. Do not use the charger if alkaline batteries are installed in the
transmitter.
1. Plug the transmitter charger into a 110v AC wall socket.
2. Plug the connector from the charger into the charging jack on the transmitter. The
charging indicator LED, located on the side of the transmitter, will illuminate green indicating
the transmitter is charging. Once the transmitter is fully charged the charging indicator LED
will turn o.
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).

1. Remove 2 cover screws from the back of the transmitter case.
2. Replace old battery pack with a new battery pack.

pack and remove the battery.
4A. Replace the batteries by purchasing a
new shrink wrapped battery pack or
installing the supplied battery tray and
purchasing 6 rechargeable ‘AA’ Lithium Ion
batteries.

Track tools
When Rotoclip is properly installed in the track pin groove it should rotate freely inside of
the groove.

The Track Pin Tools are used to assist in the installation of new tracks when the tracks are too
tight making it dicult 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.
