throughout this manual for the LP gas system.
FURNACE MAINTENANCE
Preventive maintenance and safety checks should be performed by a qualified technician at
least once a year, or more, depending on the use of the furnace. Failure to properly maintain
the furnace may void the furnace warranty and can result in unsafe furnace operation.
Preventive maintenance is NOT covered under the warranty. Power should be
disconnected before servicing. Refer to the furnace manufacturer’s supplied instructions
for information regarding the furnace and its maintenance.
.
NOTE: To increase motor life, the furnace should be wired directly to the battery.
AIR CONDITIONER
Consult the manufacturer’s information supplied with your and/or your independent,
authorized dealer for maintenance information on the air conditioning unit. Information is
also available at www.rvcomfort.com/rv_products.htm .
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. Inspect the mounting bolts for tightness to ensure there is no leakage or
looseness at least annually. Tighten 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.
BATTERY
Maintenance is required on all batteries for maximum performance. Failure to properly
maintain the batteries voids Jayco’s limited, express warranty and the warranty of many
component part manufacturers.
1. Keep all terminals clean and tight.
2. Keep the battery filled with water. Cells low on water cannot hold a full charge. A
battery used in daily operation will consume water.
3. The charging system must be in good operating condition to maintain your battery.
4. Keep the battery mounted securely. Vibration may cause pre-mature battery
failure.
5. Check the outside condition of the battery. Look for cracks in the case or the vent
plugs. Replace a leaking battery as soon as possible.
