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, and 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
. Usually tightening of connections will close
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.
As LP gas is heavier than air, leaking gas tends to flow to low places which will sometimes pocket
in low areas, such as the motorhome floor. 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.
It is very important to have the LP gas turned off during refueling of tow vehicles. Some states
prohibit gas appliances to be operated during travel, especially in underground tunnels.
