Frequently Asked Questions

Q: What is the maximum weight and gradient the Mover smart M RS1 can handle?

It is designed for single-axle caravans with a gross weight of up to 2000 kg and can cope with inclines of up to 13% at 2000 kg (or 25% at 1200 kg).

Q: How do I engage the drive rollers against the tyres?

Push the supplied engagement lever completely onto the toggle crank and turn it towards the vehicle wheel until the engagement mechanism securely clicks in and the status display points to the correct symbol.

Q: What should I do if the remote control loses connection or needs to be paired?

Establish power via the battery cut-off switch, press the reset knob on the control unit with a thin object until the green and red LEDs flash alternately, and then switch on the remote control using the green ON button to pair automatically.

Q: What is the maximum weight capacity and incline the Mover smart M RS1 can handle?

It is designed for single-axle caravans up to 2000 kg total weight and can overcome gradients up to 13% at 2000 kg (or up to 25% at 1200 kg).

Q: How do I turn on the remote control?
