SERVICING

This J35 and ControlNode102 contains hazardous voltages and energy hazards 
that may cause death or injury. Only qualified service personnel may service 
theJ35 or ControlNode102. Except where stated in the following sections, do not 
attempt to service the J35 or ControlNode102  yourself, OR dismantle, modify or 
repair the J35 or ControlNode102 yourself; this will void your warranty. If your J35 
or ControlNode102 requires servicing other than what is stated in this Owner’s 
Manual, please consult your Jayco dealer for assistance.

SERVICEABLE FUSES

The J35 air suspension and battery fuse, if required, may be replaced by the 
owner. To further protect from short circuits or overloading, the dealership will 
have fitted a 40A fuse in-line with the caravan battery and a 30A fuse at the AUX 
input.
If any fuse continues to fail, please contact your dealership for guidance.

MAINTENANCE

Use a dry or moist cotton cloth to lightly remove dust or dirt from the J35. Do not 
use alcohol, thinners, benzene or any other chemical cleaner as these products 
may degrade the housing surface. Do not allow any liquids to enter the housing.
Be sure to turn off all power sources to the J35 and disconnect the battery before 
cleaning.

STORAGE

Once your adventure is over be sure to charge the caravan’s battery and power off 
all loads connected to the J35. Use the switch connected to the J35 Load Isolation 
input to enter Storage Mode and power off all loads. 
When not in use, it is recommended that you recharge the caravan’s battery, 
ideally monthly, or every three to six months. Regular recharge prevents the 
battery from becoming heavily discharged-a condition which can significantly 
shorten the battery’s lifespan.
