Frequently Asked Questions

Q: What is the maximum weight and gradient the Mover SX can handle?

The Mover SX is designed for single-axle caravans with a gross weight of up to 2000 kg. It can overcome inclines of up to 13% at 2000 kg, or up to 25% at 1200 kg.

Q: Can I use a battery charger as the power source for the manoeuvring system?

No, operating the manoeuvring system with a charger as the power source is not possible and is strictly prohibited. It must be operated with a charged 12V battery.

Q: What is the correct gap between the drive rollers and the tyres?

When the system is disengaged, the gap between the drive rollers and the tyres must be 20 +/- 1 mm, verified using the supplied 20 mm spacer plate.

Q: How do I pair the remote control with the control unit?

Ensure drive rollers are disengaged, check that 12V is supplied and the caravan plug is in the safety socket. Switch off the remote, wait for the red LED on the control unit to flash slowly after turning on power, press and hold the reset button on the control unit until the LED flashes very quickly, turn the control knob fully left, push the slide control fully forward, switch on the remote control simultaneously, and release controls within 10 seconds.
