JAYCO TOWABLE SECTION 4-TOWING & SET-UP
1.
Prior to backing up a slope or through soft ground, pull the RV forward slightly to
assure that the actuator socket is in the forward position.
2.
Move the lever on the side of the actuator downward from the “towing position”
along the curved slot in the actuator frame to the “backup position.” The slot has a
notch at the bottom of its travel. Push the lever down to engage the locking notch.
3.
The RV will now back up. This lever will slide into the correct position when pulling
forward.
It is extremely important to keep the master cylinder full at all times. An empty cylinder
invites moisture.
Tow vehicle battery
The tow vehicle battery is the primary source of power for your RV’s electric brake
operation. To ensure available power when needed, keep your tow vehicle battery and
charging system working properly.
Brake controller (customer supplied)
The brake controller should be installed in the tow vehicle to work in conjunction with the
RV electric brakes. Consult with your dealer or the brake controller OEM to decide what is
right for your towing combination.

The breakaway switch is a crucial part of the RV braking system. Located on the travel
trailer A-frame, this switch will apply the trailer brakes if the trailer becomes detached
from the tow vehicle. Attach the breakaway switch lanyard to a permanent part of the tow
vehicle (on a travel trailer do not attach it to the hitch ball or similar removable parts)
when hitching the trailer. If the RV becomes detached from the tow vehicle, the pull pin
will be pulled from the switch. This automatically causes the switch to “close” and
activates the RV brakes.
A battery (customer supplied) must be installed to activate the breakaway switch.

Make sure your entrance step is fully
extended before exiting the vehicle, and
retracted prior to towing.
Lubricating the step mechanism
Carefully clean the area around the pivot
points (the rivets involved in the motion of
the mechanism). Lubricate these pivot points
with an automotive grade, non-staining
lubricant every 30 to 60 days.
Wipe any excess lubricant off of the step and
then clean the entire step after lubricating.
CAUTION
NEVER use the breakaway switch and trailer brake system as a parking brake. Doing
so would create a high amp draw on the battery and converter. This can cause
damage to wiring, connectors and the breakaway switch.
