SOFT SHADES
Soft shades are located at each window and can be opened and closed by pressing the
small buttons on each side of the black locks and drawing drape up or down to the desired
position.
WARNING: Keep soft shades in the upper most position while cooking on
the range top to prevent fire hazards.
WARNING: Never leave small children in the camper unattended. Chil-
dren can become entangled in the soft shade cords.
SETTING UP YOUR FOLDING CAMPING TRAILER
WARNING: Never leave your folding camping trailer plugged into the 120-
volt AC outlet while it is folded down. This would make the converter
continue to run which can cause overheating and present a fire hazard.
Opening Your Folding Camping Trailer
After parking your Jayco Folding Camping Trailer, disconnect the camping trailer from
the tow vehicle. The camper should be on level ground and the tires blocked so it will not
roll away. DO NOT USE YOUR STABILIZER JACKS TO LEVEL THE CAMPING
TRAILER. THEY ARE INTENDED TO STABILIZE THE UNIT AND WILL NOT
SUPPORT ITS WEIGHT. If your camper is not level, you may experience some
difficulty with its set up, particularly with the fit of the entrance door.
IMPORTANT:
We recommend that well in advance of any trip, you set up your folding camping
trailer and using a garden hose, thoroughly soak the tent with a light spray of water.
After the tent dries, repeat the soaking process three additional times. This process
seasons the canvas and seams. DO NOT spray directly on the canvas with a high
pressure hose. If you do not follow this procedure, you may experience some water
seepage during the first few exposures to rain. Let tent dry thoroughly before storing
to prevent mildew and odors. If you note any water seepage or leaks after seasoning
your tent, let the tent dry, then spray water repellant on the INSIDE of the seams
where seepage occurs. One or two applications of water repellant may be necessary
to stop all water seepage in seams where thread enters the fabric. NOTE: Touching
the tent canvas when it is wet can cause leakage. If leakage persists, please contact
your dealer for assistance.
1. Unfasten each roof latch (Fig. 3-2).
CAUTION: Never attempt to crank the roof until all roof latches are unlocked and
free (Fig. 3-2). NEVER LIFT ROOF WITH CARGO IN PLACE.
2. Insert the crank into the square tube located at the front of the A-frame behind the
coupler, and turn clockwise to raise roof (Fig. 3-3).
3. Raise the roof until the tent is loosely extended.
