You don't use the buttons to actuate

There is an on/off/on switch which will be near the mover main switch

You switch the mover on with the main mover switch and then switch the actuator switch from centre position to down and the mover moves onto the wheel and you then return the switch to the off centre position

Its then up for taking the rollers off

If the main ON switch has been left on for a while nothing will work as it cuts off

You then need to switch off the main switch and count to 10 to reboot it

Hope that helps

 

You do mean this model I take it 17

If you click on next image it shows the actuator switch with the components

(switch with red wires attached)

thanks JohnG 

 i e-mailed neliesure.co.uk and had a written instruction that i printed off ..it appears that after turning on the red key and then turning on the handset with the 2 on/off buttons together the lights come up in sequence and then i needed to press the actuator button then forward button and release it when the red light flashes ..not keeping it pressed in like i was doing ..it automatically puts the rollers to the wheels then to take it off it's a matter of pressing the sequence button again and back button to complete the movement ...i think i have it sussed tho' it took 20 mins to do it on a site near keswick last weekend ..several peolpe were scratching their heads then a friend got the rollers off the tyres eventually but didn't realise how ..i'll get better with practice i feel  ..lol17

Its changed from my Powrtouch as it works as described in my previous post

I rang Powrtouch yesterday as I am changing vans and have the mover off at the moment and am giving it a good clean,grease touch up etc

The rubber boots on the motors were grubby and sure enough this morning replacement ones arrived in the post FOC under warranty

They do give excellent service17

Mine has the switch already mentioned. Flick the switch one way for rollers on, in the middle for no movement and the other way for rollers off. Seems to be important that rollers press tyres quite hard to avoid rollers slipping on tyres. Mine grips fine as long as the actuator motors slow down once rollers touch tyres. Anybody know if this is the right way of using them? Or are you supposed to wait until actuator motor actually stop? Im too scared or breaking something to try this out....

Sorry for my earlier misinformation I was unaware the Powrtouch now had the on/off via the remote.

Its good to be informed of new developments

Doit :

The actuators have inbuilt stop switches when at full travel on or off but speaking to Powrtouch yesterday they confirmed that they now suppy a self centring actuator switch so that it returns to the off position when released

I had one actuator motor burn out so I always now keep my finger on the switch until the actuator motor sound stops and then switch off the power

A new type switch is available at £15 so I decided to be patient and remember to return the switch to the centre position

Hope that helps

i thought i would post the e-mail reply i had from the person i asked for help about my mover ..top marks for this man ..powertouch replied 3 days later

Hi Keith,
Turn on the control panel by inserting the isolator key switch into the isolator in your battery box & turning it a quarter turn clockwise.
Switch on the handset by pressing then releasing the 2 green buttons on the handset, the speed control LED'S should light up then go through a sequence until it eventually settles with a single LED lit.
Press the orange centre button, then depending on how the fitter wired it, press the forward button & hold both buttons down until the speed control LED'S stop flashing & the red forwards LED starts flashing, at that point you should hear the linear motors start to engage, you can now release the buttons & the motors will engage the movers rollers, if it doesn't work, turn the handset around & press the orange button & the reverse button, it should now work.
On no account must any button be pressed once the red LED starts to flash, there's a safety feature built into the panel to stop the engagement if any button is pressed, but it will totally shut down the panel, you will have to switch off the isolator for 2 mins then start again.
Reversing the rollers when you are finished is a reversal of the above.
If the mover was fitted between 1st Aug to mid Oct you may have a control panel fault, the fault causes the panel to spike the voltage & shut down the forward & reverse buttons & it will need replacing, its a software fault not an electronics fault, so new software will cure it. 
To test it you must engage the movers 4 motors as the fault only occurs under heavy load, press the forward button, let the caravan move forwards for a few seconds, then stop it, then press forwards or backwards again, do this several times, if it wont respond to the buttons but will respond to the left/right buttons its got the fault, also if it cures itself after 20 seconds or so its got the fault, if it works perfectly then it hasn't & you should also be able to press the forwards button then press the turn button, then release the forwards button so that youv'e gone from straight to turn left or right without stopping the mover, this is very handy going uphill as you wont lose momentum.
Please let me know how you get on
Keith...
