INTRODUCTION

Congratulations on choosing the ENDURO® EM203 caravan manoeuvring system. This has been produced according to very high standards and has undergone careful quality control procedures.
Simply by using the remote handset you can move your caravan effortlessly into any position required within operating guidelines. Soft start and soft stop technology allows you to manoeuvre your caravan even more accurately without any shocks.
The caravan manoeuvring system consists of two 12 Volt motor-power rollers, a 12 Volt control unit and a remote handset. To function, the motor-powered rollers must be engaged against the tyres of your caravan.
The supplied cross actuation device enables you to engage both rollers at the same time from one side of your caravan. Once this is done the manoeuvring system is ready for operation. The remote handset will allow you to move your caravan in any direction. You can even rotate the caravan on its own axis, without moving forwards or backwards.
**** Before proceeding with installation and starting to use the manoeuvring system, please read this manual very carefully and be aware of all the safety instructions! The owner of the caravan will always be responsible for correct use. Keep this manual inside your caravan for future reference.

INTENDED USE

The ENDURO® EM203 caravan manoeuvring system is only suitable for single axle caravans.
Suitable only for L-profiled and U-profiled chassis with a chassis thickness between min. 2.8mm and max. 3.5mm.
Depending on the weight of the caravan, the manoeuvring system cannot overcome obstructions that are more than about 2cm in height without assistance (please use wedges as a ramp).
The standard installation kit only provides parts for installing the manoeuvring system within the measurements given in Fig. 14.

SPECIFICATIONS

Lead acid: 12V, 80Ah (min.)

INSTALLATION – SAFETY GUIDELINES

Read this user manual carefully before installation and use. Failure to comply with these rules could result in serious injury or damage to property.
These symbols identify important safety precautions. They mean CAUTION! WARNING!
SAFETY FIRST! IMPORTANT INFORMATION!
Before starting installation under the caravan:
Check the towing load of your vehicle and the gross weight of your caravan in order to establish whether they are designed for the additional weight. The manoeuvring system itself has a weight of about 37kg and a battery has a weight of about 20-25kg (the by us recommended ENDURO® LI1220 LiFePO4 battery weighs only 4,3kg).
Check the minimal installation dimensions of the caravan manoeuvring system based on figure 14.
Only use adapters and accessories that are supplied or recommended by the manufacturer.
Check that the caravan is disconnected from the battery supply and the mains electrical supply.
Check that the tyres are not over worn and do have the same size and design (fitting to new or nearly new tyres is the best option).
Make sure that the tyre-pressures are correct to the manufacturer’s recommendation.
Make sure the chassis is in good condition without any damage and is free from rust, dirt etc.
Stop work immediately if you are in doubt about the assembly or any procedures and consult one of our engineers (Please refer to contact information on the last page of this manual).
Locate the battery isolation switch to be accessible at all times when parking and moving the caravan.
Do not remove, change or alter any parts of the chassis, axle, suspension or brake mechanism. Any drilling ofholes in the chassis is not allowed.
Do not install the unit if you are under the influence of drugs, alcohol or medication that could impair your ability to use the equipment safely.

INSTALLATION – MECHANICAL COMPONENTS

FOR PROFESSIONAL INSTALLATION ONLY. These instructions are for general guidance.
Installation procedures may vary depending on caravan type.
Working under a vehicle without appropriate support is extremely dangerous!
Please refer to Fig. 13 for an overview of the whole assembly fully fitted.
Place the caravan on a hard, level surface. The use of a lifting ramp or an assembly pit is ideal for access and personal safety.
Unpack all the components and check for the presence of all parts (see package contents list).
Clean the area of your chassis where you need to mount all components to ensure a good fitting.
Make sure the caravan is prepared for installation. Check before installation that important areas, such as drains/spare tyre etc. do not cause any obstruction to the function of the manoeuvring system.
Ensure both rollers are in the DISENGAGED position (Fig. 10A), as the unit will not fit correctly otherwise (Note: when fully disengaged, the pointer is positioned in the beginning of the yellow area).
Loosely assemble the left hand motor unit (1), right hand motor unit (2) and main cross bar (3) (Fig. 1). The nuts (Fig. 1B), on the cross bar (3) to secure both motor units, must be no more than finger-tight at this stage.
Note: In principle, the unit should be fitted in front of the caravan road wheels, but if fitting in this position is not possible because of obstacles or a too high hitch ball weight, it is permissible to fit it to the rear of the wheels by rotating the whole assembly (Fig. 1) by 180° degrees.
Loosely fit the two clamping assemblies (7) to the chassis (Fig. 2 & 13) and attach. Use the bolts M10x60, nuts M10 and washers M10 (8,17,18) and put them in the diagonal positioned holes of the aluminium chassis clamp plates. Nuts must be no more than finger-tight.
Assemble the pre-mounted manoeuvring system on the aluminium chassis clamp plates by using the two Ushaped brackets (9),  bolts M10x50, nuts M10 and washers M10 (16,17,18). Nuts must be no more than fingertight.
Make sure that aluminium drive rollers of the motors are approximately on the same altitude as the centre (axle) of the caravan wheel (± 20mm). To compensate a possible unevenness (and lower the motors), ENDURO® has a set of distance plates available. One set can compensate 15mm. In total three sets can be used so that an altitude of 45mm can be compensated.
Adequate ground clearance: Please notice that the min. distance between the lowest line of motors and ground is 110mm, no matter what kinds chassis or install situation.
Assemble the parts of the cross actuation bar (4 & 5) and connect them to the motor units (1 & 2) with the nylon nut and bolt (factory fitted) onto the cross actuation bar-connectors (Fig. 1 & Fig. 1A). Nuts must be no more than finger-tight at this stage.
Make sure that the main cross bar (3) and the cross actuation centre bar (4) are positioned in the middle of the caravan (the centre of the bar is marked).
With the main assembly is loosely fitted onto the chassis, slide the whole assembly along the chassis until the rollers are 20mm away from the surface of the centre each tyre (Fig. 10). Two 20mm spacers (30) are provided.
It is vitally important that each roller is at exactly the same distance away from the tyre.
The whole assembly must be parallel to the caravan/trailer axle.
Slide the motor units in or out of the cross bar (3) accordingly to ensure the roller will have the maximum possible contact with the tread of the tyre. Ensure that the position of each motor unit does not obstruct shock absorbers (if fitted) and that the plastic chain guard is not too close to the surface of the tyre/shock absorber. The minimum clearance when the drive units swivelled in is 10mm.
Fully tighten (10Nm torque) the four bolts (Fig. 1B) on the main cross bar and the four bolts (Fig. 1C) on cross actuation assembly and lock them by the additional nuts.
Fully tighten all the nylon nuts on both clamping assemblies (Fig. 2). First tighten the diagonal placed M10x60 bolts with a 20Nm torque, and then M10x50 bolts to a 40Nm torque.
Re-check the distance of 20mm from the rollers to the tires, the position of the aluminium rollers in addition to the surface of the tire and finally the distance between the chain cover (Fig. 8) and the tires & shock absorbers (>10mm). The weight of the caravan must be on the wheels when doing this. If necessary, loosen the bolts and re-adjust the position of the assembly.
Re-check that all bolts/nuts have been tightened to the correct torque!
The main mechanical components have now been installed.

INSTALLATION – ELECTRICAL/ELECTRONIC COMPONENTS

** Make sure the 12 Volt supply from the battery and any 230 Volt electricity supply are disconnected.
Remove battery cable terminals and disconnect any external electrical power before starting work.
Find a suitable place for the control unit (32), such as a storage area, under a seat or a bed. Make sure this place is dry and close to the battery (40cm to 60cm). The control unit can be mounted vertically on a side wall or be mounted flat. When mounted vertically, the connections must point downwards to avoid any short-circuits by objects falling into. When choosing location, ensure that the antenna can be completely extended and cannot easily be damaged.
Fix the control unit securely into position with four screws (19). Note: if the provided screws are not of suitable length or type for the desired location/material please substitute these as appropriate.
Drill a 25mm hole through the floor of the caravan approximately 150mm centrally in front of the control unit (32) terminals.
Caution!** Take extra care to avoid any chassis members, gas pipes and electrical wires!
Route and connect the motor-cables in accordance with wiring diagram (Fig. 12) (red = positive, black = negative).
The wiring diagram (Fig. 12 + Table. A (see below)) depicts the wiring route when installing the motor units in front of the wheels/axle towards the ‘A’ frame. Please refer to table B (below) for fitment of the motor units to the rear of the axle.

Table A
FRONT OF AXLE FITTING (4,6mm2  cables)
Motor unit A: positive (+) cable to terminal 4
Motor unit A: negative (-) cable to terminal 3
Motor unit B: positive (+) cable to terminal 2
Motor unit B: negative (-) cable to terminal 1| Table B
REAR OF AXLE FITTING (4,6mm2  cables)
Motor unit A: positive (+) cable to terminal 1
Motor unit A: negative (-) cable to terminal 2
Motor unit B: positive (+) cable to terminal 3
Motor unit B: negative (-) cable to terminal 4
---|---

Mark the motor cables for both motor units using the cable markers (25). The cables for the left and the right motor should have the same length. Avoid any loops.
Remember to leave a small amount of slack cable near the motors to allow for their movement when the drive rollers are engaged.
Route the motor cables along the underside of the caravan floor, inside the supplied convoluted trunking (11) (this will protect the electrical cables against sharp edges and dirt) and through the drilled hole.
Secure the cable trunking to the chassis or under body of the caravan by using the P-Clips (20) and screws (19).
Once the motor cables are through the drilled hole next to the control unit, cut the cables, ensuring that they are same length. Remove approx. 5mm of the insulation from the ends. Fix the spade connectors (24) by using crimping pliers. A secure and good quality connection on each cable is essential.
Attach the connectors to the terminals on the control unit (see wiring diagram Fig. 12).
Find a suitable place for the battery power isolation switch (29) which includes an external holder with hinged cover. Important: The switch must be mounted onto the exterior body of the caravan and be easily accessible from the outside of the caravan in case of any emergency. The switch must be mounted close to the location of the battery in order to keep the length of the battery cables to a minimum.
Use the cardboard template to position the hole positions and the drill holes. Mount the switch and the housing with the bolts, washers and nuts, and finally mount it on the caravan with stainless steel screws (19).
Route the positive (+) power cable (including fuse) from the battery to the battery power isolation switch and then further to the control unit.
The electronic connections of the battery power isolation switch must be covered by the supplied rubber isolation shells (33).
Route the negative (-) power cable directly to the control unit.
** No cables may be routed over the control unit!
Again it is recommended to use the supplied trunking (11) to protect the cables against sharp edges. Attach the trunking with P-clips (20) and P-clip screws (19).
Cut the cables to an appropriate length and remove approx. 5mm of the insulation from the ends. Fix the spade connectors by using crimping pliers. Two types of battery terminal connector (22 & 23) are provided for use as appropriate. A secure and good quality connection on each cable is essential.
Connect the battery cables to the control unit: Attach the spade fork connectors to the positive (+) en negative (-) terminal of the control box and fix them tightly by the screws.
Finally, connect the battery cables to the existing battery terminals (red = positive, black = negative).
Caution!** Make sure that you do not reverse the Positive (+) and Negative (-) connections.
Incorrect connection (reverse polarity) will result in damage to the control unit.
Seal the 25mm hole in vehicle under body using plastic body sealant.
Finally find a suitable place for the remote handset wall holder (34) and fix this by the supplied screws (out of reach of children or other unauthorised people).
Installation of the caravan manoeuvring system is now complete.

OPERATION – SAFETY GUIDELINES

Practice operating the manoeuvring system in an open area before using for the first time. This is to fully familiarise yourself with the handset / manoeuvring system operation.
Before use, always check the manoeuvring system for any damage.
When towing or moving the caravan please be aware, at all times, that ground clearance is reduced when the manoeuvring system has been fitted.
Always ensure that children and pets are kept well out of the way during operation.
When operating the system, ensure that no hairs, fingers or other body parts, clothing or any other objects carried on the body can become trapped by moving or rotating parts (e.g. drive rollers).
In the event of malfunctions, pull on the handbrake immediately and turn off the main isolation power switch.
To maintain signal strength, always make sure that, during manoeuvring, the distance between the remote handset and the caravan does not exceed 5 metres.
Due to the nature of a radio signal, it can get corrupted by external terrain or objects. So there may be small areas around the caravan where the quality of reception reduces, hence the manoeuvring system may stop momentarily.
Always be aware that the manoeuvring system increases the weight of your caravan or trailer. So this reduces the payload of the Caravan.
Do not exceed the total safe working load of 1800kg laden weight (caravan including load).
Always make sure that the rollers are fully disengaged from the tyres when the manoeuvring systemis not in use. This is better for the tyres and for the manoeuvring system.
Always make sure that the rollers are fully disengaged before towing/moving the caravan by vehicle or manpower. This can damage the tyres, manoeuvring system and the towing vehicle.
Always make sure that after you have finished using the manoeuvring system, the battery power isolation switch (29) is switched off and the key is removed and stored in a safe place (out of reach of children or other unauthorised people). If you don’t switch off, the battery will be discharged by the small ”standby” current.
Always make sure that the remote handset stored in a safe place (out of reach of children or other unauthorised people).
Do not rely on the manoeuvring system to act as a brake.
Always apply the handbrake after manoeuvring, before disengaging the drive rollers from the tyres.
Do not use the manoeuvring system as a support when jacking up the caravan, since this can damage the drive unit.
Depending on the weight of the caravan, the manoeuvring system cannot overcome all obstructions without assistance. Please use wedges as a ramp.
All wheels and tyres on the caravan must be of the same size and design. If tyres are worn or new tyres are fitted, the distance between the drive rollers and the tyres may need readjusting (see “Installation – Mechanical Components”).
Sensitive objects such as cameras, DVD-Players etc. Must not be kept in the stowage box near the control unit or the motor cable. They can be damaged by the electromagnetic fields.
Do not make any modifications on the caravan manoeuvring system (mechanical or electronically).
**** This can be very dangerous! No warranty claim will be accepted and we cannot guarantee the function of the manoeuvring system if any modifications are made. We will not be liable for any damage whatsoever caused as a result of incorrect installation, operation or modification.

OPERATION – MOTOR UNITS

The manoeuvring system has two motor units (1 & 2). In general they are mounted in front of the axle of the caravan/trailer. Both units are identical but cannot be switched.
Fig. 4
A. Aluminium drive roller
B. 12 Volt Motor
C. Base unit
D. Drive unit
E. Chain guard
In order to engage the rollers, fit the end socket of the engagement tool (6) on the spindle (Fig. 9) on the right or left drive unit and turn the handle (Fig. 10).
Traction indicator label:
The yellow-green-red traction indicator label (Fig. 11A), on the side of each motor unit indicates if the roller is depressing the tyre sufficiently to provide adequate traction.

• If the pointer is in the yellow area – Rollers are not touching or depressing the tyre sufficiently.
• If the pointer is in the green area – Rollers should be connecting correctly to the tyre (margin of 15mm)
• If the pointer is in the red area – Rollers are connected to the tyre but in an extreme position. It could be that the tyre of the caravan has insufficient air pressure or the drive unit has been knocked out of position and a visit to a workshop is required to reposition the assembly.

OPERATION – REMOTE HANDSET

The remote handset (31) is powered by one PP3 9 Volt battery, and is activated by moving the slide switch to “On”-I (Fig. 5A). Once activated the green LED (Fig. 5H) will illuminate and the directional controls can now be used.
Fig. 5
A. Slide switch: “Off” –O and “On”-I
B. Caravan forwards: both wheels rotate in forwards direction
C. Caravan reverse: both wheels rotate in reverse direction
D. Caravan left forwards: right wheel rotates in forwards direction
E. Caravan right forwards: left wheel rotates in forwards direction
F. Caravan left reverse: right wheel rotates in reverse direction
G. Caravan right reverse: left wheel rotates in reverse direction
H. Green LED: reflects communication status of the remote handset and caravan manoeuvring system
I. Red overload LED: Amp overload protection is activated. Wait about 60 seconds and try again.
J. Blue 9 Volt battery LED: The internal 9 Volt battery of remote handset is near empty and needs to be replaced
K. Blue battery voltage LED: Caravan battery voltage too low or too high
When you drive straight forwards or reverse (press button B or C), it is also possible to adjust the direction by additional pressing button D or E (when driving forwards) or button F or G (when driving reverse).
In addition, the ‘right forward’ (E) and ‘left reverse’ (F) buttons or ‘left forward’ (D) and ‘right reverse’ (G) buttons may be pressed at the same time to turn the caravan around on its own axis without moving forward or backward.
When you switch within 2 seconds from forward driving to reverse driving (and the other way around), a small delay of 1 second will appear to protect the electronics and the motors.
The slide switch (Fig. 5A) also acts as an “Emergency stop”.
The remote hand set switches off:

• After 3 minutes, if no button is pressed: After 2 minutes the buzzer will beep for 5 times with a repetition after 3 minutes. Than the system switches in the “stand-by” modes.

• After 6 minutes, if one of the movement buttons is permanently held down: After 5 minutes the buzzer will beep for 5 times with a repetition after 6 minutes. Than the system switches in the “stand-by” modes.
  The green LED goes off and the remote handset is in the “stand-by” modes which means that there always will be used some current which causes the battery to go down. So always make sure the remote handset is turned off by the slide switch.
  To reactivate the remote handset, move slide switch to “Off” –O and then back to “On”-I after approximately 1 second.
  Error messages via the remote handset:
  Error messages of the ENDURO®
  EM203 manoeuvring system will be communicated via the remote handset by the green LED (Fig. 5H), the error message LED’s (Fig. 5I, 5J & 5K) and a buzzer signal:

• Green LED (Fig. 5H) off, no buzzer: remote handset is turned off and also system is not activated

• Green LED (Fig. 5H) continue on, no buzzer: remote handset is turned on and system is activated and ready to use.

• Green LED (Fig. 5H) is blinking, no buzzer: no communication between handset and control unit. This could be because of too much distance between remote handset and control unit, or the battery isolation switch for manoeuvring system is not turned on or that there is a distortion signal disturbing the communication.
  As soon as connection is good again the green LED will be continue on and the system is ready to use.

• Blue battery voltage LED (Fig. 5K) is blinking in combination with buzzer (2 times blinking, break, 2 times blinking, break etc.): Battery voltage too low (<10 Volt). Battery needs to be recharged.

• Blue battery voltage LED (Fig. 5K) is blinking in combination with buzzer (4 times blinking, break, 4 times blinking, break etc.): Battery Voltage too high (over charged). Try to discharge the battery by turning on a user (for example a lamp or water-pump).

• Red overload LED (Fig. 5I) is blinking in combination with buzzer (6 times blinking, break, 6 times blinking, break etc.): Amp overload protection is activated. Wait about 60 seconds and try again.

• Blue 9 Volt battery LED (Fig. 5J) is blinking, no buzzer: The internal 9 Volt battery is near empty and needs to be replaced.

Changing batteries in the remote handset:
When the battery is empty (blue 9 Volt battery LED (Fig. 5J) is blinking), it needs to be replaced.

• Open the rear cover of the handset (Fig. 7A).
• Take out the dead/old battery and dispose in the appropriate way.
• Install a new replacement battery (Fig. 7.1). Make sure to use a leak proof PP3 (9 Volt) battery (No claims under guarantee can be considered for damage caused by leaking batteries).
• Close the rear cover again.

Dead and used batteries may leak and damage the remote handset! Remove the batteries if the handset is not going to be used for an extended period.

OPERATION – CONTROL UNIT

The control unit (32), which is mounted inside your caravan, is responsible for controlling the manoeuvring system.
The control unit has three LED’s and one pushbutton (Fig. 3):
Green LED (Fig. 3B): Power LED continuously illuminated when system is activated (by moving slide switch to “On”-I). If the handset far away from the control unit, beyond the availably distance, this LED will go out.
Blue LED (Fig. 3C): Error message LED concerning caravan battery:

• Blue LED is blinking (2 times blinking, break, 2 times blinking, break etc.): Battery voltage too low (<10 Volt). Battery needs to be recharged.
• Blue LED is blinking (4 times blinking, break, 4 times blinking, break etc.): Battery Voltage too high (over charged). Try to discharge the battery by turning on a user (for example a lamp or water-pump).

Red LED (Fig. 3D) is blinking (6 times blinking, break, 6 times blinking, break etc.): Amp overload protection is activated. Wait about 60 seconds and try again.
In general all error messages will reset automatically after one minute. If this is not the case, reset the electronics of the manoeuvring system by switching off the system via the isolation switch and the remote handset for at least 15 seconds and then turning it on again.
The Reset Button (Fig. 3A): The remote handset and the control unit are synchronised with each other in the factory. If the control unit or the remote handset is replaced, they must be re-synchronised as described below:

• Check the installation in accordance with the installation instructions and ensure that the drive rollers are not applied. Check that the battery is properly connected, check the condition of the battery and that a voltage of 12 Volt is present at the control unit.

• Please ensure that the battery isolation switch is on.

• Activate the remote handset by sliding the slide switch to “On”-I (Fig. 5A). The green LED on the remote handset (Fig. 5H) starts to flash slowly.

• Press the reset button (Fig. 3A) on the control unit. All three LED’s on the control unit (Fig. 3B, 3C & 3D) will flash slowly.

• Press both forwards (Fig. 5B) and reverse (Fig. 5C) button on the remote handset for about 3 seconds.
  Then the handset buzzer will give a short beep to confirm that the synchronisation is complete.

• After successful synchronisation, the green LED on the control unit (Fig. 3B) and on the remote handset (Fig. 5H) will illuminate continuously.

Bluetooth adapter connector (Fig. 3E):
The control unit can be expanded with an optional Bluetooth adapter (ENDURO® BC101) for controlling the manoeuvring system with a Smartphone or tablet. When connecting the cable, the battery power isolation switch must be turned off.

OPERATION – GETTING STARTED

Please make sure you read the safety instructions very carefully and make sure that you follow these guidelines!
Make sure that the battery that supplies the system is fully charged and in good condition.
** Make sure that the caravan is free from the vehicle and the handbrake is on. Also make sure that the corner steady feet are fully raised.
Fit the end socket of the engagement tool (6) onto the engagement spindle (Fig. 9) on the right or left hand motor unit. This only needs to be done on one side of your caravan since the other side will automatically follow via the cross actuation bar.
Turn the handle until it will turn no more without excessive force. The colour of the traction indicator label (Fig. 11A) should be into the green area.
Turn on the battery power isolation switch (29).
Before operating the manoeuvring system, release the handbrake.
Activate the manoeuvring system by move slide switch to “On”-I on the remote handset (Fig. 5A). The green LED (Fig. 5H) on the remote handset will illuminate and you will hear a short beep. The remote handset is ready for use.
Now you can choose the movements according the symbols shown on the remote handset. Straight forward (Fig. 5B), straight reverse (Fig. 5C), left forward (Fig. 5D), left reverse (Fig. 5F), right forward (Fig. 5E), right reverse (Fig. 5G).
In addition, the left forward (Fig. 5D) and right reverse (Fig. 5G) buttons or right forward (Fig. 5E) and left reverse (Fig. 5F) buttons may be pressed at the same time to turn the caravan around on its own axis without moving forward or backward.
When you drive straight forwards or reverse (press button 5B or 5C), it is also possible to adjust the direction by additional pressing button 5D or 5E (when driving forwards) or button 5F or 5G (when driving reverse).
Because of the “soft start” technology, the caravan will slowly speed up. Because of the “soft stop” technology, the caravan will stop slowly. This allows you to manoeuvre your caravan even more accurately without any shocks.
WARNING: When the buttons on the remote handset are released, the caravan will slowly stop after 0.5 second and continue to move about 6cm (depending on final speed). When the buttons of the remote handset are released when the system is still in the “soft start” stage (slowly speed up), the caravan will stop immediately.
After the “soft start” stage the caravan moves according one fixed speed. The speed can increase a little when going downhill and decrease a little when going uphill. TIP: The manoeuvring system is more efficient when reversing the caravan up an incline.
After manoeuvring, deactivate the manoeuvring system by moving the slide switch to “Off”-O on the remote handset (Fig. 5A). The green LED (Fig. 5H) on the remote handset will turn off. Store remote handset in a safe place (out of reach of children or other unauthorised people).
Turn off the battery power isolation switch.
** When you are ready with manoeuvring you need to secure the handbrake.
Disengage the drive rollers from the tyres. Fully disengage the rollers by turning the handle on the engagement Spindle (Fig. 9) until it turns no more without excessive force. The pointer of the traction indicator label (Fig. 11A) will be in the beginning of the yellow area.
**** Before you start driving always make sure that the both drive units are fully disengaged!

OPERATION – HITCHING AND UNHITCHING

It is possible to position the caravan’s hitch exactly over a stationery car’s tow ball using the manoeuvring system. But please be very careful!
Use the button controls on the remote handset to bring the hitch of the caravan to the car. The soft start technology allows you to locate the tow- ball of the car by centimetre. It is better reach the tow ball with severalshort “trips” rather than trying to do it in one “trip”.
WARNING: When the buttons on the remote handset are released, the caravan will slowly stop after 0.5 second and continue to move about 6cm (depending on final speed). When the buttons of the remote handset are released when the system is still in the “soft start” stage (slowly speed up), the caravan will stop immediately.
When the hitch is right above the tow ball of the vehicle, lower the hitch to the ball and engage in the normal way using the jockey wheel.
Release the rollers from the caravan’s tyres. You cannot tow the caravan with the drive units are engaged! Before you start driving always make sure that the both drive units are fully disengaged!
Trying to drive away with the drive units still engaged, will damage the manoeuvring systemyour caravan tyres and strain your tow vehicle!

MAINTENANCE

To prevent the battery from becoming totally discharged during long periods of inactivity it must be disconnected, fully charged and frost-proof stored.
Please check regularly that the rollers of the drive units are free of any dirt, or debris that may have been picked up from the road.
Regularly clean the drive units with a water hose to dissolve mud etc.
Please check regularly the distance between the rollers and the tyres. In the neutral (fully disengaged) position this must be about 20mm.
Once a year have your caravan manoeuvring system maintained and visually inspected. This inspection must include all the bolt/nut connections, the cables and electrical connections and lubrication of movable parts/joints.
**** In case of any failure or problem, please contact your ENDURO® supplier.

TROUBLE SHOOTING

Should your manoeuvring system fail to operate, please check the following:
Unit fails to operate, does not function at all:
Make sure that the battery power isolation switch (29) is turned on.
Check the cable-connection between the caravan battery and the control unit.
Check the fuse (Fig. 6) in the red positive battery cable. If the fuse is blown, it must be replaced with a fuse of the same value (100A). Never “bridge” the fuse (if needed contact your ENDURO® supplier). To replace the fuse, first disconnect the positive (+) power cable from the battery. Than release the mounting screws that hold the fuse (Fig. 6A), replace the fuse (Fig. 6B), and finally tighten the screws securely. Close the housing of the fuse and connect the positive (+) power cable again to the battery. The system is ready again for use.
Check the battery of the remote handset. If empty, renew the 9 Volt battery.
Caravan battery could be empty. If empty, recharge completely or renew caravan battery before taking any further action.
Caravan battery could be overloaded. Check your charging equipment and try to discharge the battery by connecting/using a light or any other load. If this does not give any result, renew caravan battery before taking any further action.
Check the distance between the remote handset and the caravan is not more than 5 metres. If there is no signal between the remote handset and the control unit, the manoeuvring system will not function at all and the green LED on handset is blinking.
Check if there is any distortion signal (other transmitter, high power cables, Wifi etc.) that disturbs a good communication between remote handset and control unit. If there is no good communication between the control unit and remote handset, the manoeuvring system will not function and the green LED on remote handset will blink.
In general, all error messages will reset automatically after one minute. If this is not the case, reset the electronics of the manoeuvring system by switching off the manoeuvring system via the isolation switch and the remote handset for at least 15 seconds and then turn them on again.
Unit fails to operate or moves intermittently:
Check the battery of the remote handset. If empty, renew the 9 Volt battery.
Caravan battery could be empty. If empty, recharge completely or renew caravan battery before taking any further action.
Caravan battery could be low – with the rollers engaged. Check the voltage drop on the caravan battery, if this drops well below 10 Volt, charge or renew caravan battery
Caravan battery could be overloaded. Check your charging equipment and try to discharge the battery by connecting/using a light or other load. If this does not give any result, renew caravan battery before taking any further action.

Check the cable-connection between the caravan battery and the control unit.
Badly connected or corroded battery terminals can cause intermittent problems, check battery terminals, clean and connect again.
Check the distance between the remote handset and the caravan is not more than 5metres. If there is no signal between the remote handset and the control unit, the manoeuvring system will not function at all and the green LED on handset is blinking.
Check if there is any distortion signal (other transmitter, high power cables, Wifi etc.) that disturbs a good communication between remote handset and control unit. If there is no good communication between the control unit and remote handset, the manoeuvring system will not function and the green LED on remote handset will blink.
In general, all error messages will reset automatically after one minute. If this is not the case, reset the electronics of the manoeuvring system by switching off the manoeuvring system via the isolation switch and the remote handset for at least 15 seconds and then turn them on again.
