Safety instructions

– Practice operating the maneuvering assistant in an open
area before using for the first time. This to fully familiar-
ise yourself with the handset / maneuvering assistant
operation.
– Always check tyres and drive rollers before using the maneu-
vering assistant; 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
operating area of the maneuvering assistant.
– When operating the maneuvering assistant, ensure that no
hairs, fingers or other body parts, clothing or any other ob-
jects 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 cen-
tre of the caravan when maneuvering 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 maneuvering down a slope.
– After maneuvering, always apply the handbrake first, dis-
engage the drive rollers from the tyres and block the
wheels (particularly on downwards-sloping surfaces). The
maneuvering assistant is not suitable for use as a parking
brake for a parked caravan.
– Ensure that remote radio control is protected from unauthor-
ised 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 maneuvering assistant operates
correctly, the distance between the tyres and the disengaged
drive rollers must be 20 mm. All tyres must have the same in-
flation 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 maneuvering assistant 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 maneuvering assistant, which reduces the payload of the
vehicle.

General instructions

The maneuvering assistant RH1 has been designed to cope
with inclines of up to approx. 25 % bearing a gross weight of
1200 kg or 15 % bearing a gross weight of 1800 kg on a suit-
able surface.
Depending on the weight of the caravan, the maneuvering as-
sistant cannot overcome obstructions that are more than about
2 cm in height without assistance (please use wedges as a
ramp).
Maneuvering assistant RH1
Due to the nature of a radio signal, it can get corrupted by ex-
ternal terrain or objects. So there may be small areas around
the caravan where the quality of reception reduces, hence the
maneuvering assistant may stop momentarily.
When the maneuvering assistant is switched off using the
remote control the control unit remains in standby. In or-
der 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 batter-
ies. 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 con-
sumption of the maneuvering assistant on the steepest incline
and carrying the maximum weight is 120 A. The correct choice
of battery depends on the usage period and the scope of use
(other consumers in caravan). For maneuvering assistant
operation we recommend batteries with a capacity of approx.
60 Ah or more.
Example:
A fully charged lead-acid battery with a capacity of 60 Ah allows
the maneuvering assistant to be operated for approximately
30 minutes with a full load (depending on weight of caravan,
battery type and terrain). On level terrain the maneuvering as-
sistant has average power consumption of approximately 20 A
and therefore an operating time of approx. 3 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.

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.
Note that the manoeuvering assistant is only suitable for
single axle caravans.
The maneuvering assistant is a maneuvering system with which
a caravan can be moved without the assistance of a towing
vehicle.
The maneuvering assistant 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 onto the tyres us-
ing the provided lever, the maneuvering assistant 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.
