General Instructions; Power Supply; Batteries; Charger - GO2 RH3 Instrucciones De Uso

– 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.
– The empty weight of the vehicle increases by the weight of
the GO2, which reduces the payload of the vehicle.
– When engaging, make sure that there are no objects (e.g.
stones, lumps of ice) between the drive roller and tyre in
particular.
– Inspect the system for damage before use.
The system must not be used if it is damaged.

General instructions

Depending on the weight of the caravan, the GO2 may not be
able to overcome obstacles more than about 20 mm in height
without auxiliary equipment (please use levelling ramps).
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 flat-spotting
often have a steeper incline and are not suitable for use with
a GO2.
As a result of 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 GO2 may be briefly interrupted. If
possible, reduce the distance between the control unit and
the remote control (maintain a safety clearance!).
When the GO2 is switched off using the remote control,
the control unit remains in standby. To completely switch
it off, the battery must be disconnected from the power
supply, using the installed battery cut-off switch.

Power supply

For optimum operation, we recommend the PowerSet BC and
high-performance Optima® batteries. Drive, lighting and gel
batteries with sufficient capacity are also suitable.

Batteries

Recommended battery capacities
The 12 V battery must be certified in accordance with
national standards and regulations of the country in
which it is used. The battery must be dimensioned in
accordance with the technical requirements of the GO2 (see
table and technical data). Starter batteries are not suitable.
Battery type
Round cell technology (Optima®)
Gel / AGM
Lead-acid battery
(liquid electrolyte)
12 EN
Battery capacity
at least 55 Ah
at least 70 Ah
at least 80 Ah

Charger

For optimum battery charging we recommend the BC 10
charger (a component of the PowerSet BC), which is suitable
for all battery types up to 200 Ah.
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. disconnect 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).

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.

Function description

The GO2 is a manoeuvring system which allows a caravan to
be manoeuvred without the aid of the towing vehicle.
The GO2 has been designed to cope with inclines of up to
approx. 13 % at the permitted gross weight on a suitable
surface.
It consists of two separate drive units, each with its own 12 V
DC motor. These units are mounted on the chassis directly
beside the wheels and are connected by lateral bars.
Once the drive rollers have been engaged on the tyres,
the GO2 is ready for operation. Manoeuvring is carried out
exclusively via the remote control, which transmits radio
signals to the control unit. A separate 12 V battery (not
included in the delivery / see also "Batteries") supplies power
to the control unit.

Approval

The Truma GO2 has design approval, and a general operating
permit (ABE) has been issued for Germany. Acceptance by a
vehicle expert is not required (except when installing the low
chassis kit). The general operating permit (ABE) must be kept
in the vehicle.
The GO2 complies with other requirements of EC Directives
and Standards (see Declaration of Conformity).
Any modifications made to the device, opening the housing
or the use of any spare parts or functionally significant
accessories other than Truma original parts, or failure to
comply with the contents of the operating and installation
instructions invalidates the warranty and precludes any
liability claims. This will also invalidate the operating permit
for the device.
