SAFETY CONSIDERATIONS
The terms NOTE, CAUTION and WARNING have specific meanings in this manual.
A NOTE provides additional information to make a step or procedure easier or clearer.
Disregarding a NOTE could cause inconvenience, but would not be likely to cause damage
or personal injury.
A CAUTION emphasizes areas where equipment damage could result. Disregarding a
CAUTION could cause permanent mechanical damage. However, personal injury is
unlikely.
A WARNING emphasizes areas where personal injury or even death could result from
failure to follow instructions properly. Mechanical damage may also occur.
Reporting Safety Defects
If you believe that your vehicle has a defect which could cause a crash, injury or death,
you should immediately inform the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration
(NHTSA) in addition to notifying Jayco, Inc.
If NHTSA receives similar complaints, it may open an investigation, and if it finds that a
safety defect exists in a group of vehicles, it may order a recall and remedy campaign.
However, NHTSA cannot become involved in individual problems between you, your
dealer or Jayco, Inc.

Safety in Using LP Gas
You should check for leaks at the connections on the LP gas system soon after purchase
and initial filling of LP tanks. Continued periodic checks of the system are recommended.
Your vehicle was manufactured to provide you with full access to all gas line connections.
Leaks can be found with a soapy water solution, which
does not contain ammonia or
chlorine , applied to the outside of the gas piping connections: the soap will bubble at the
leak. DO NOT USE FLAME OR LIGHTED MATCHES TO TEST FOR LEAKS .
Tightening connections will usually stop leaks. If not, ask an authorized dealer’s service
department to make the necessary tests and repairs.
ALTHOUGH THE MANUFACTURER AND DEALER HAVE PERFORMED TESTS
FOR LEAKAGE, THIS CHECK IS RECOMMENDED DUE TO THE VIBRATION
ENCOUNTERED DURING TRAVEL.
LP gas is heavier than air, therefore leaking gas tends to flow to low places and will
sometimes pocket in low areas, such as the floor of the camping trailer. LP gas can usually
be detected by an identifiable odor similar to onions or garlic. Never light a match or allow
any open flame in the presence of leaking gas.
