Safety instructions

2.1 General safety
Failure to comply with the regulations set out in the operating instructions may lead to severe property damage and serious harm to health or danger of death.
► Read the safety instructions and follow them exactly to prevent danger, personal injury and property damage.
► Observe locally applicable laws, directives and standards relating to using and operating the appliance.

2.2 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.
► Never allow children to play with the manoeuvring system.
► Never use the manoeuvring system under the influence of drugs, alcohol or medication.
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 check the gap between the drive roller and the tyre
► Regularly check the tyre pressure
All wheels and tyres on the caravan must be of the same size and type. If this is not observed, safe operation is not guaranteed.
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.

2.3 Safe operation
If the drive rollers are not completely engaged, the caravan cannot be controlled.
► Always completely engage the drive rollers.
When engaging and disengaging and while operating the manoeuvring system, care must be taken to ensure that no hair, parts of the body, clothing or other parts on the body can become caught in moving parts (such as drive rollers).
In order to avoid tilting the caravan,
► When manoeuvring on slopes the drawbar should be pointed downwards (downhill).
During manoeuvring, the distance between the radio remote control and the middle of the caravan must not exceed 10 m.
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
People inside the caravan:
► Only move caravans with a manoeuvring system when there is nobody inside.

People outside the caravan:
► There must be no persons (particularly children) inside the turning and movement range (manoeuvring range) of the caravan.

Maintaining an overview of the situation:
► Ensure that there is sufficient visibility and space when manoeuvring.

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 attachments. After manoeuvring, always engage the parking brake and block the wheels (especially on slopes) (e.g. with blocking wedges) first of all. Then disengage the drive rollers from the tyres. The manoeuvring system is not suitable for use as a parking brake for the parked caravan. When the manoeuvring system is switched off using the remote control, the control unit remains in standby. 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 protect the radio remote control from unauthorised access (paying 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. kerbs) from a height of approx. 5 cm using auxiliary equipment (e.g. wedges).
► 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. Levellers or tyre protection systems to prevent flatspotting often have a steeper incline and are not suitable for use with a manoeuvring system.
Sensitive objects such as cameras, DVD players etc. must not be kept in the stowage box near the control unit or the motor cables, as the powerful electromagnetic fields may damage them.

2.4 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.

Intended use

3.1 Proper use
The Mover XT4 is a manoeuvring system which allows a caravan to be manoeuvred without the aid of the towing vehicle.
The Mover XT4 was designed for use on dual-axle caravans with a gross weight of up to 3100 kg.
The caravan may only be manoeuvred with the manoeuvring system on campsites and private property.

3.2 Use that is not compliant with the intended purpose
The caravan must not be manoeuvred with the manoeuvring system on public roads.
The manoeuvring system may only be used for caravans. Manoeuvring of other trailers, such as boat trailers, horsebox trailers, market trailers, construction trailers or similar items, is prohibited.

3.3 Installation, removal, conversion
Only competent and trained people (experts) are permitted to install and repair the Truma product and to carry out the function test, at the same time observing the installation and operating instructions and the currently recognised technical regulations. Experts are people who, based on their specialist instruction and training, their knowledge and experience with Truma products and the relevant standards, can carry out the necessary work properly and identify potential hazards. People who are not experts should observe the following:
► Do not mount the appliance, do not install it in other locations and do not install it in other vehicles.
► Do not dismantle, convert or repair the appliance yourself.
► Installation, removal or conversion work may only be carried out by experts.

The type plate of the remote control can be found in the remote control’s battery compartment.
The type plate of the control unit is located on the underside of the control unit.

4.3 Function
Coping with inclines (max. climbing ability)
The Mover XT4 has been designed to cope with inclines of up to approx. 10 % bearing a gross weight of 3100 kg on a suitable surface.
13 % = 13 metre difference in altitude over a distance of 100 metres
Once the drive rollers have been engaged against the tyres using the remote control, the manoeuvring system is ready for operation.
Manoeuvring is carried out 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.

4.4 Power supply
► Always observe the operating instructions and the “Safety instructions” prior to starting. The vehicle user is responsible for correct operation of the device.

4.4.1 Power supply
For optimum operation, we recommend the Truma PowerSet BC and high-performance Optima® batteries.
Body-mounted batteries (caravans with self-sufficient power supply with correspondingly large capacity; see table below) are also suitable.

Batteries
NOTICE Malfunctions during operation due to incorrect power source To guarantee proper operation of the manoeuvring system, it may only be operated with a charged battery (≥ 12 V).
► Operation with a charger as power source is not possible and prohibited.

Recommended battery capacities

• The drive rollers are pressed approx. 20 mm into the tyres on both sides.
• The number 3 must be shown on the position indicator on the manoeuvring system.

Fig. 18

If the drive units do not engage properly, see Kapitel 6 Malfunctions)

5.4 Manoeuvring the caravan

WARNING

Personal injury due to a lack of safety precautions
If persons or objects are present in the manoeuvring range during the manoeuvring, injuries may occur.
► There must not be any people or objects in the manoeuvring range.
► Nobody may remain in or on the caravan.

CAUTION

Personal injury due to the manoeuvring system malfunctioning
Malfunctions in the manoeuvring system, the control unit or the remote control can lead to the caravan moving unpredictably.
► The slide switch on the side for switching off the remote control can also be used as an emergency stop function in dangerous situations. If there are noticeable problems, slide the slide switch on the side to “OFF”. See Kapitel 4.5.5
► Apply the parking brake
► Interruption of the battery cut-off switch

NOTICE

Damage to the tyres due to manoeuvring with the parking brake applied
If the caravan’s parking brake is not released after the engagement, the tyres may be damaged when the caravan is manoeuvred.
► Before manoeuvring, release the parking brake or remove the chocks.

When the buttons are released, or if the radio signal is interrupted or becomes too weak, the caravan immediately stops moving.
Precise movement in all directions is possible using the control knob and the slide control
The caravan starts to move without jolting when starting
When the control knob or slide control are released, or if the radio signal is interrupted or becomes too weak, the caravan stops moving immediately
Radio equipment or other remote controls will not activate your manoeuvring system
After start-up, the manoeuvring system moves at a steady speed (depending on the position of the slide control)
Speed increases slightly on downhill slopes and decreases on uphill slopes

Control knob only
The caravan symbol on the control knob indicates the current direction of travel (of the caravan).
The further the control knob is moved, the faster the caravan turns on the spot.
If only the control knob of the Mover XT4 is used, the caravan can turn on the spot to approx. 30 cm to the left or right (measured by the drawbar).
When the limit of the rotating range is reached, the rotating procedure is stopped automatically. It is not possible to turn a caravan with a two-axle chassis on the spot.
To continue turning, the caravan must be moved forwards or backwards at the same time (using the slide control).

Slide control only

The slide control can be used to drive forwards or backwards without jolting, with infinitely variable speed control.
The further the slide control is moved from the zero position, the faster the speed.
Caravan moves forwards (towards the drawbar)

Fig. 19

► Caravan moves backwards (away from the drawbar)

Fig. 20

Control knob and slide control
The more the control knob is turned, the smaller the turning radius.
Operating the control knob and the slide control causes the manoeuvring system to go round in a circle, whereby the wheels rotate continuously, but the inner wheels rotate more slowly than the outer wheels.
Due to the design, it is not possible to manoeuvre in very tight bends with a two-axle chassis.
► Forward (turning right):

Fig. 21

► Forward (turning left):

Fig. 22

► Reverse (turning right):

Fig. 23

► Reverse (turning left):

Fig. 24

Radio equipment or other remote controls will not activate your manoeuvring system.
► After manoeuvring, apply the parking brake and/or secure the caravan with chocks to prevent it from rolling away first of all, then deactivate the manoeuvring system.

5.5 Coupling to the towing vehicle
The manoeuvring system allows a caravan to be coupled to a towing vehicle accurately and without jolting.
However, this requires care and a degree of practice.
► Move the towing vehicle close to the caravan.
► Secure the towing vehicle against rolling away according to the operating instructions.
► In order to position the caravan precisely, operate the control knob or slide control until the caravan’s coupling is located directly above the ball coupling on the towing vehicle.

Fig. 25

► Coupling the caravan on the ball coupling (Fig. 25-1)
► Crank in the jockey wheel and secure it according to the operating instructions (Fig. 25-2)
► Attach the breakaway cable (Fig. 25-3)
► Then disengage the manoeuvring system. See Kapitel 5.6 Insert the 13-pole plug or adapter into the towing vehicle’s 13-pole supply socket.

5.6 Disengage the manoeuvring system

NOTICE

Property damage due to towing with the drive rollers engaged If the caravan is being towed by the towing vehicle with the drive rollers engaged, the manoeuvring system, the

towing vehicle or even the caravan can be damaged.
► Ensure that the drive rollers are completley disengaged before the caravan is towed by the towing vehicle.

CAUTION

Personal injury due to the caravan rolling away
If the drive rollers are disengaged, the caravan cannot be controlled.
► Before the disengagement, apply the caravan’s parking brake and/or secure the caravan with wedges.

The drive rollers are disengaged on the caravan wheels by means of the remote control.
► To disengage the drive rollers, press and hold both DISENGAGE buttons at the same time – for about 3 seconds (safety delay) – until you hear an acoustic signal and the drive rollers start to disengage.
► During the disengagement, the symbol flashes and the DISENGAGE buttons can be released. When the drive rollers’ end position is reached, two acoustic signals sound and the symbol disappears from the toolbar.

Fig. 26

If the disengagement is interrupted, it must be restarted and performed in full.

The position indicator shows how far the drive rollers are engaged or disengaged:

Fig. 27

Fig. 28

To check that the disengagement has been successful:

• In the disengaged position, the drive rollers are approx. 20 mm away from the tyres (Fig. 28) on both sides. See Kapitel 6.1 to check the correct gap between the tyres and drive rollers
• The position indicator is no longer showing a number (Fig. 28).

The manoeuvring system can also be disengaged manually if the power supply of the manoeuvring system is interrupted or if a malfunction prevents automatic disengagement. See Kapitel 5.7 Emergency disengagement.

5.7 Disengage the manoeuvring system manually (emergency disengagement)

CAUTION

Personal injury due to the caravan rolling away If the drive rollers are disengaged, the caravan cannot be controlled.
► Before the disengagement, apply the caravan’s parking brake and secure with wedges.

NOTICE
Damage due to an incorrect tool The manoeuvring system must only be disengaged manually. Other auxiliary equipment, e.g. cordless screwdrivers, can damage the manoeuvring system.
► Use the supplied hexagonal socket spanner.

If the caravan battery is discharged to the extent that electrical disengagement no longer works or a defect is present, the drive rollers can also be disengaged manually.

Fig. 29

► Before manual disengagement, apply the caravan’s parking brake and secure the wheels against rolling away.
► Disconnect the power supply for the manoeuvring system using the battery cut-off switch.
► Prise out the plastic cap (Fig. 29-1) at the rear end of the cover using a screwdriver.
► Insert the hexagonal socket spanner – included in the scope of delivery – into the hex bolt (Fig. 29-2) and carefully disengage the drive unit by turning in a clockwise direction (Fig. 29-3).
► Repeat the procedure for all drive units.

Once the battery has been charged or the defect remedied, the drive rollers can be engaged electrically again.

5.8 Switch off the manoeuvring system

NOTICE

Damage to the tyres and drive unit due to continuously engaged drive rollers.
If the manoeuvring system’s drive rollers remain engaged continuously, this can cause damage to tyres and drive units if the system is at a standstill for an extended period of time.

► Turn the key in an anti-clockwise direction. This interrupts the power supply to the manoeuvring system.
► Remove the key of the battery cut-off switch and keep it in a safe place that is inaccessible to children.

Malfunctions

6.1 Troubleshooting guide
► Before contacting Customer Service:

• Check whether the batteries in the remote control are working perfectly.
• Is the remote control paired with the control unit?

Pairing the electronic control unit with the radio remote control see Kapitel 6.2.
► Check that the caravan’s 13-pole plug or adapter is properly plugged into the safety socket.
► Check that the caravan battery is in good condition and is fully charged.
Battery performance can deteriorate considerably at cold ambient temperatures.
► Check that the fuse in the battery connector cable is in order. If the fuse is defective, check the system for possible short circuits.
If errors occur, the remote control always switches off once the symbols have been shown.

the control unit must be lit). Replace a defective fuse in the battery connection cable of the manoeuvring system only with an original Truma spare part (part no. 60040-00169).
• Interrupt the power supply for at least 20 seconds. Restore the power supply. The green LED on the control unit should be lit.

► If these actions do not remedy the problem, please contact Truma Service.

6.2 Pairing the electronic control unit with the radio remote control
The remote control and the control unit are paired in the factory.
If the control unit or the remote control is replaced, they must be paired again.
► The drive rollers must not be engaged
► Check that the battery is properly connected and in good condition, and that the control unit is being supplied with 12 V.
► Make sure that the caravan plug is plugged into the safety socket.
► Read the following instructions beforehand, as you only have limited time for pairing (approx. 10 seconds).
You will need a pen, a small screwdriver or a similar item to press the reset button (Fig. 33-1).

Fig. 33

► Switch off the remote control with the slide switch on the side. (see Kapitel 4.5.1)
► After switching on the control unit (e.g. with the battery cut-off switch), wait (approx. 15 seconds) until the red LED (Fig. 33-2) starts flashing slowly.
► Press and hold the reset button (Fig. 33-1) on the control unit. Wait until the LED (Fig. 33-2) flashes very quickly.
► Press and hold the left ENGAGE button on the remote control.
► Switch on the remote control with the slide switch on the side while doing so.
► Release the left ENGAGE button .
Once the appliances are paired, the red LED (Fig. 33-2) on the control unit and the symbol on the remote control light up continously.
► If pairing was unsuccessful, the red LED (Fig. 33-2) flashes and you have to repeat the process.

Care and maintenance

RISK

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 terminals.
► 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.

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

7.1 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.
Secure battery poles with protection caps in order to prevent a short circuit
► When removing the battery, first disconnect the earth connection (negative terminal), followed by the positive terminal.
► When installing the battery, first connect the positive terminal followed by the negative terminal.

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 for 24 hours at least every 12 weeks.
In winter, store the fully-charged battery in a cool and frost-free place and recharge at regular intervals (every 12 weeks).

7.2 Remote control care
The remote control must be kept in a dry place.
Remove the remote control’s batteries during extended stationary periods (e.g.in winter) to prevent the batteries from going flat.

Before use and before engagement, check that all motors respond properly to the commands from the remote control.

7.3 Tyre care
Do not park the caravan with engaged drive rollers, otherwise the tyres could be damaged.

7.4 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, hose off the manoeuvring system and clean with a soft brush. Make sure that no stones, twigs etc. are trapped in it.

7.5 Maintaining the manoeuvring system

RISK

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, have an expert check that there is no rust on the manoeuvring system, that the attachments are still firmly attached and that all the safety-related parts are in a proper condition.

The manoeuvring system is extremely easy to check or maintain during the caravan’s annual inspection.

If in doubt, please contact Truma Service (www.truma.com).

7.6 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.

7.7 Maintaining the control unit
The control unit does not require any maintenance

7.8 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 gap should be 20 +/- 1 mm.

► The manoeuvring system must be disengaged.
► Slide the spacer plate between the tyre and drive the 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.
► If the gap is larger, have it corrected by a specialist shop.

7.9 Standstill for an extended period of time
► Clean the manoeuvring system as described above every year (or before preparing for winter).
► To prevent the battery from becoming totally discharged during long periods of inactivity, it must be disconnected and then recharged from time to time. Charge the caravan battery before starting up.

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.

Disposal and recycling

9.1 Disposing of the manoeuvring system

RISK

Risk of injury due to the weight of the entyre system There is a risk of injury when transporting the dismantled manoeuvring system due to the weight.
► Bear the weight of the entyre system in mind.

RISK

Risk of injury due to heavy attachments Risk of severe injury when transporting the dismantled manoeuvring system due to heavy attachments.
Do not carry heavy attachments on your own.

The device must be disposed of in accordance with the administrative regulations of the respective country in which it is used. National regulations and laws must be observed.

Warranty

Manufacturer’s Warranty (European Union)

11.1 Scope of Manufacturer’s Warranty
As the Manufacturer of the appliance referred to in these operating instructions, Truma grants the Consumer a warranty that covers any material and/or manufacturing defects of the
appliance.
This Manufacturer’s Warranty is applicable in the EU member states as well as in the United Kingdom, Iceland, Norway, Switzerland and Turkey.
This Manufacturer’s Warranty covers any of the aforementioned defects that occur within 24 months upon concluding the purchase agreement between the Seller and the Consumer. A Consumer is the natural person who was the first one to purchase the appliance from the Manufacturer, OEM or dealer and who neither resold the appliance in a commercial or self-employed professional capacity nor installed it for a third party in such a capacity.
The Manufacturer or an authorized service partner undertakes to remedy such defects through subsequent fulfilment, i.e. at its discretion either by repairing or replacing the defective item, unless one of the reasons for exclusion mentioned below applies. Defective or exchanged parts or appliances shall become the property of the Manufacturer or the authorized service partner. If the appliance is no longer manufactured at the time of defect notification and if replacement delivery has been opted for, then the Manufacturer may deliver a similar product.
If the Manufacturer remedies a defect under this Manufacturer’s Warranty, the term of the Warranty shall not start again with regard to the repaired or exchanged parts; rather, the original warranty period shall continue to be applicable to the appliance. Only the Manufacturer itself or an authorized service partner shall be entitled to conduct a warranty job. Any costs that occur in the event of a warranty claim shall be settled directly between the authorized service partner and the Manufacturer.
The Warranty does not cover additional costs arising from complicated removal or installation jobs on the appliance (e.g. dismantling of furnishings or parts of the vehicle body), and neither does it cover travel expenses incurred by the authorized service partner or the Manufacturer.
Further claims arising from this Manufacturer’s Warranty, in particular claims for damages by the Consumer or third parties, are excluded.
This shall not affect the provisions of the German Product Liability Act (Produkthaftungsgesetz).

The legal warranty claims for defects of the Consumer against the Seller in the respective country of purchase are not limited by this Warranty and may be asserted free of charge  independently of this Warranty. In countries outside the European Union, these statutory warranty claims are governed by the regulations of the country in which the Consumer first  purchased the appliance.
In individual countries there may be warranties that can be issued by the relevant dealer (official distributor, Truma Partner). In such cases the warranty can be implemented directly through the dealer from whom the Consumer bought the appliance.
The warranty regulations of the country in which the appliance was purchased by the Consumer for the first time shall also be applicable.

11.2 Exclusion of warranty
No warranty claims from this Manufacturer’s Warranty shall be applicable under the following circumstances:

• Improper, unsuitable, faulty, negligent or unintended use or handling of the appliance;
• Improper installation, assembly or commissioning, contrary to operating or installation instructions;
• Improper operation, handling or operation contrary to the operating and installation instructions, particularly any disregard for maintenance, care and warning notes, or the  operation of defective appliances.
• Instances where installations, repairs or any other procedures are carried out by non-authorised partners or on the user’s own initiative;
• Consumable materials and parts which are subject to natural wear and tear;
• If the appliance is fitted with spare, supplementary or accessory parts that are not original parts from the Manufacturer or have not been approved by the Manufacturer; this applies in particular if the appliance is subject to networked control, if the control units or the software have not been approved by Truma or if the Truma control unit (e.g.Truma CP plus, Truma iNetBox, Truma iNet X Pro Panel, Truma iNet X Panel, or similar) has not been exclusively used for controlling Truma appliances or appliances approved by Truma;
• As a consequence of damage arising from foreign substances (e.g. oil, or plasticisers in the gas), chemical or electrochemical influences in the water, or cases when the appliance has come into contact with unsuitable substances (e.g. chemical products, flammable substances or unsuitable cleaning agents);
• Damage caused by abnormal environmental or unsuitable operating conditions;
• Damage caused by force majeure or natural disasters or any other influences not within Truma’s responsibility;
• Damage resulting from improper transport;
• End customer’s or third-party modifications of the appliance, including any replacement, supplementary or accessory parts, or installation of the same, especially concerning the exhaust gas system or the  cowl;
