Refueling Generator
Located in the compartment next to the generator is the generator fuel tank. Follow these
instructions when refueling the generator fuel tank.
1. Make sure that the tow vehicle and any open flames are extinguished. All pilot
lights, appliances, and their ignitors should be turned off before
refueling the
generator fuel tank.
2. Unhook the quick disconnect from the generator fuel hose to the fuel tank.
3. Unhook the tie down strap buckle and pull the empty tank from the compartment.
4. Lay the fuel tank flat on the ground.
5. Unscrew the lid to refuel the tank. The fuel hose nozzle MUST be in contact with
the rim of the fuel tank opening during fueling. Refuel with UNLEADED fuel
ONLY.
1
WARNING: The fuel tank MUST be lying flat on the ground AND the
fuel hose nozzle MUST be in contact with the rim of the tank opening
during refueling. There is potential for static charge build up if these
instructions are not followed which could ignite the gas fumes.
6. When the tank is filled, return the tank to the compartment.
7. Secure the tank with the tie down strap. Make sure the strap is tight and the tank
will not move around in the compartment.
1
CAUTION: It is important to secure the tank tightly with the tie down strap
and make sure the tank will not move around in the compartment during travel.
8. Reattach the fuel quick disconnect to the tank.
1
WARNING: Do not carry fuel in this compartment unless the genera-
tor is hooked up.
MICROWAVE OVEN / CONVECTION OVEN
The microwave oven or convection oven in the unit operate on the same principle as the
microwave/convection in your kitchen at home. A separate owner’s manual is provided
with detailed instructions for its use.
RUBBER ROOF
The heavy-duty rubber roof is durable, does not rumble in the wind, requires no special
treatment, reduces black streaks on sidewalls, and can be patched if damaged.
To keep your roof looking its best, simply clean it with a sponge and any nonabrasive,
common household detergent. For stubborn stains, use a stronger solvent such as xylene,
but take care never to saturate.
If your roof is accidently torn or punctured, there’s no need for expensive repairs. The
process is much like patching a tire, but we suggest you contact your dealer or Jayco for
more information.
As with all trailer roofs, it should be checked at least once a year at roof vents and around
the perimeter for signs of cracked or deteriorating sealant. ALPHA 1015 is the best we
have found for roofs. Extend HD works best on horizontal surfaces. Both sealants come
in caulking tubes and can be purchased from your Independent Jayco dealer.
CHAPTER 8
OPTIONS
NOTE
: Each item listed in this chapter is an option as the travel trailer is built by Jayco.
AIR CONDITIONER
Air conditioners may be installed by the Jayco factory or by your dealer. If you did not
buy your camper with the optional air conditioner, one of your roof vents may be pre-
wired for later installation. Your dealer can provide you with additional information
concerning this.
There are a variety of air conditioners available. For specific instructions for the air
conditioner, consult your dealer and the manufacturer’s owner’s manual.
Some models have Central Air Conditioning available. All cooled air is moved through a
duct built into the roof and enters the travel trailer through a group of round registers.
Keep all registers open to insure full airflow. Closing the register(s) may cause the
compressor to freeze, which could shut down the cooling process.
A special foam gasket is placed between the roof material and the subframe of the air
conditioner to guard against water leakage.
An air conditioner is subjected to wind pressures along with motor vibration during
normal operation. Annually inspect the mounting bolts for tightness to ensure there is no
leakage or looseness. Retighten bolts when they are loose. DO NOT overtighten these
bolts as it may damage the gasket.
To gain access to the bolts, remove the filtered panel cover on central air systems or the
entire air box on non-central air conditioners.
1
CAUTION:
When camping at campgrounds providing less than 30 amp
service, discontinue air conditioning use when using the microwave.
GENERATOR
The function of a generator is to supply 120-volt AC power on a limited basis when
extended power is not available.
The power to start the generator comes from the auxiliary battery. A start/stop switch is
located on a mounting plate with the generator. A remote start switch is located near the
monitor panel.
With the exception of simple items such as spark plugs and oil changes, all service work
should be done by authorized service centers. Improper adjustments can damage the
generator and electrical appliances, and can result in a safety hazard. An authorized
service center has trained specialists who know how to keep your generator running
safely and reliably.
