Frequently Asked Questions
Q: What type of batteries are recommended for the Mover?
Traction, lighting (min. 88Ah), solar, and gel batteries all work well. Standard starter batteries aren't recommended.
Q: What's the correct gap between the tyres and drive rollers?
With the Mover disengaged, the gap between the tyres and drive rollers needs to stay a constant 20mm.
Q: Is it OK to tow with the mover's drive rollers still engaged?
Never tow with the drive rollers engaged - it can seriously damage the towing vehicle as well as the tyres.
