Mover SE R / TE R
Safety instructions
– The SE R / TE R control systems may only be used for the
Mover SE R / TE R.
– Practice operating the Mover in an open area before using
for the first time. This to fully familiarise yourself with
the handset / mover operation.
– Always check tyres and drive rollers before using the equip-
ment; remove sharp-edged stones and the like if necessary.
– No person must be present in the caravan during operation.
– All persons (particularly children) must remain outside
the Mover operating area.
– When operating the mover, 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).
– The distance between the radio remote hand set and the
centre of the caravan when manoeuvring must not
exceed 10 m!
– In the event of malfunctions pull on the handbrake.
– To prevent the caravan from tipping, direct the tow hitch
downhill when manoeuvering down a slope.
– After manoeuvring, always apply the handbrake first, dis-
engage the drive rollers from the tyres and block the
wheels (particularly on downwards-sloping surfaces). The
Mover is not suitable for use as a parking brake for a
parked caravan.
– Ensure that remote radio control is protected from unau-
thorised access (particularly by children!).
– Never tow the caravan with the drive rollers applied. This
can cause damage to the tyres, the towing vehicle and the
drive units.
– All wheels and tyres on the caravan must be of the same
size and design.
– In order to ensure that the Mover operates correctly, the
distance between the tyres and the disengaged drive rollers
must be 20 mm. All tyres must have the same inflation pressure as per the manufacturer’s instructions (check at regular intervals!). If tyres are worn or new tyres are fitted, the
distance between the drive rollers and the tyres may need
readjusting (see “Installation of the drive units”).
– Do not use the Mover as a support when jacking up the
caravan, since this can damage the drive unit.
– 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.
– The empty weight of the vehicle increases by the weight of
the Movers, which reduces the payload of the vehicle.
– Remove plug from safety socket after manoeuvring, other-
wise the battery will be discharged. Standby current with
plug inserted approx. 200 mA. Standby current with plug
removed < 1 mA.
General instructions
The Mover SE R was developed for overcoming inclines of
up to approx. 25 % with a gross weight of 1200 kg and 15 %
with a gross weight of 2000 kg,
and the Mover TE R for overcoming inclines of up to approx.
25 % with a gross weight of 1200 kg and 10 % with a gross
weight of 2250 kg on a suitable surface.
Depending on the weight of the caravan, the Mover cannot
overcome obstructions that are more than about 3 cm in
height without assistance (please use wedges as a ramp).
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
Mover may stop momentarily.
When the Mover is switched off using the remote control
the control unit remains in standby. In order to switch off
completely the battery must be disconnected or an isolating
switch installed.
Batteries
We recommend the use of so-called drive and lighting batteries.
Gel batteries and round cell batteries are also suitable.
These batteries are designed for high power demands and
have an extremely long service life. The maximum power
consumption of the Mover on the steepest incline and carrying the maximum weight is 150 A. The correct choice of battery depends on the usage period and the scope of use (other
consumers in caravan). For mover operation we recommend
batteries with a capacity of approx. 80 Ah or more.
Example:
A fully charged lead-acid battery with a capacity of 80 Ah allows the Mover to be operated for approximately 30 minutes
with a full load (depending on weight of caravan, battery type
and terrain). On level terrain the Mover has average power
consumption of approximately 35 A and therefore an operating time of approx. 2 hours.
The use of gel batteries or round cell batteries means that
smaller batteries can be used.
Batteries with more capacity allow the equipment to be used
for longer.
For optimum operation, we recommend the Truma Mover
PowerSet.
Function description
Always observe the operating instructions and “Safety
instructions” prior to starting! The vehicle owner is respon-
sible for correct operation of the appliance.
Please note that the Mover SE R is only suitable for
single-axle towed vehicles, and the Mover TE R is only
suitable for dual-axle towed vehicles.
The Mover is a manoeuvring system with which a caravan can
be moved without the assistance of a towing vehicle.
It consists of two separate drive units, each of which has a
12 Volt DC motor. These units are attached to the frame of the
vehicle near the wheels and are connected by lateral bars.
Once the drive rollers have been engaged to the tyres using
the remote hand set, the Mover is ready for operation. All operation takes place using the remote hand set. This transmits
radio signals to the control unit. A separate 12 V lead-acid
battery or suitable lead-gel battery (not included in scope of
delivery) supplies the control unit with current.

Mover SE R only
The caravan can be turned in a circle on the spot without
moving forward.
d + g = Turn caravan to the right
(left wheel rotates forwards + right wheel rotates
backwards)
e + f = Turn caravan to the left
(left wheel rotates backwards + right wheel rotates
forwards)
Mover TE R only
Turning on the spot without moving forward is not possible
because of the two axles. Pressing the d, g, e or f buttons
causes the Mover to move in a circle, whereby the outer
motor runs continuously and the inner motor pulsates.
Mover SE R / TE R
h = Two-hand operation, engage drive rollers
i = Two-hand operation, disengage drive rollers
Both buttons must always be pressed simultaneously to
engage or disengage the drive rollers.
The engaging or disengaging starts after about 3 seconds
(safety delay). The drive rollers automatically move to the end
position, even if both buttons are released.
Pressing the two buttons for disengaging whilst the
Mover is engaging in causes the engaging procedure to
be aborted. The drive rollers will disengage and automatically
move to the end position.
The remote hand set switches off:
– after approx. 2 minutes, if no button is pressed
– after approx. 7 minutes, if one of the movement buttons is
permanently held down. The green LED goes off.
To reactivate the remote control, move slide switch to “Off“ £
and then back to “On“ I
after approximately 1 second.
There is no “On / Off“ switch on the caravan to be operated.

LED “flashes” in combination with acoustic signal
– for approx. 5 seconds after switching the remote hand set
on, until the system is ready for operation.
– for approx. 10 seconds after switching the remote hand set
on, then it is switched off again – 13-pin safety plug not
connected to safety socket or unable to establish radio link
to controller.
– every 3 seconds if the caravan battery has a low charge
(finish manoeuvring as quickly as possible and charge
battery).
– 5 times a second (5 Hz) if the caravan battery voltage is
low. No manoeuvring is possible until the battery voltage is
above 11 V again (e.g. by means of recovery / battery charging). The drive rollers can also be disengaged with a voltage
of less than 11 V.
– approx. 2 times per second with overcurrent / over-
temperature (2 Hz). Switch remote hand set off and on
again (wait for cooling down if necessary in the event of
overtemperature).
Changing the batteries in the remote handset
Please be sure to use leak proof microbatteries only, type LR 03, AAA, AM 4,
MN 2400 (1.5 V).
When fitting new batteries
ensure the polarity is correct!
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.
No claims under guarantee will be considered for damage
caused by leaking batteries.
Before throwing away a defective handset, it is essential that
the batteries are removed and disposed of in proper manner.

Manoeuvring the caravan
Please read the “Safety instructions” before using
the Mover!
Apply handbrake with caravan uncoupled.
Unplug 13-pin plug from vehicle and plug into safety socket of
caravan.
For safety reasons the Mover can only be operated if the
13-pin plug of the caravan has been plugged into the
safety socket.
If there is a fault in both caravan brake lights, the power
circuit of the safety socket is not closed. In this case the
Mover cannot be operated.
Switch remote hand set on – green LED flashes for 5 seconds
in combination with the acoustic alarm until the control unit is
ready for operation.
Simultaneously press the two buttons (h) for engaging, which
starts after approx. 3 seconds (safety delay).
Use the position indicator to check whether both drive
rollers have been correctly applied (arrow of yellow position indicator is above the line that is closest to the tyre).
Before operating the Mover, release the handbrake.
The six direction buttons provide movement in six directions –
forward, reverse, left forward, left reverse, right forward, right
reverse.
With the Mover SE R, the “left forward” (e) and “right
reverse” (f) or “right forward” (d) and “left reverse” (g) buttons
can also be pressed simultaneously in order to turn the caravan in a circle on the spot without moving it forwards.
The soft start / stop facility means that the caravan starts
without jerking and is gently braked when stopping.
If the buttons are released or the radio signal is interfered with
or becomes too weak, the caravan stops. Your Mover cannot
be activated by radio devices or other Mover remote hand
sets.
After starting up, the Mover moves at a uniform speed. The
speed will increase a little when going downhill and decrease
a little when going uphill.
After manoeuvring, first apply the handbrake and then dis-
engage the drive rollers from the tyres.
Move slide switch on remote control to the “Off” £ position
to switch the remote control and the Mover off.
The slide switch also acts as an “Emergency stop”
switch.
Remove plug from safety socket after manoeuvring, otherwise
the battery will be discharged. Standby current with plug
inserted approx. 200 mA.
Hitching to a tow car
It is totally possible to position the caravan’s hitch to a
stationary car tow ball using the Mover, but take some care.
Use the instructions above as your guide. Use the button controls to bring the caravan to the car (car handbrake “ON“, and
car in gear). Use a button stabbing technique to exactly position the hitch directly over the ball. Lower the hitch to the ball
and engage in the normal way using the jockey wheel.
Prepare the caravan for towing as usual. The caravan must
never be towed with the drive rollers engaged.
Maintenance
Please do not allow the drive units to become soiled with
coarse road material. When you are cleaning the caravan,
spray the Mover with a water hose to dissolve mud etc. Please
ensure that no stones, twigs or the like become trapped in the
equipment. The control unit does not require maintenance.
Please keep the remote hand set in a dry place.
Every year (and/or before putting away for the winter), clean
Mover as described, dry and lightly spray the drive unit guides
with oil spray or a similar water-repelling lubricant. Do not
put lubricant on the rollers or the tyres! Engage and disengage the drive units several times to allow the lubricant
to penetrate all the guides. Do not park the caravan with the
drive rollers engaged.
To prevent the battery from becoming totally discharged during long periods of inactivity it must be disconnected and recharged before using again. Charge the caravan battery
before starting up.
It is extremely easy for you or your caravan dealer to perform
the checking and maintenance of your Mover during the
annual inspection of your caravan. If in doubt, please contact
the Truma Services (see Truma Service Booklet or
www.truma.com).
Checks
– Check the installation, wiring and connections for damage
at regular intervals. 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, examine
drive units for soiling or corrosion at the guides and clean
if necessary. Undo all moving parts as required and oil or
spray with a lubricant such as WD40 to ensure that the
equipment moves correctly and provides the full range of
movement.
– After the annual inspection, check whether all motors react
properly to the buttons on the remote control.
– At least every 2 years, an expert must check the Mover for
rust, check that detachable parts are firmly attached and
check that all safety-related parts are in good working order.
Emergency disengaging function
If the caravan battery has become so discharged that a disengaging cannot be performed using electrical means, or a fault
has occurred, the drive motors can be disengaged manually.
Prise out the plastic cap (m) at the
rear end of the motor using a screwdriver. Place the socket wrench
(size 7 mm – included in scope of
delivery) onto the hexagon bolt and
disengage the drive unit by turning
anticlockwise. Repeat procedure at
the opposite side.
m
Once the battery has been recharged the rollers can be
engaged again electrically.
