CAMPING & OPERATING
To ensure your personal safety, do not obstruct or alter the furnace in any manner.
Do not install screens over the vent for any reason. Screens will become restricted and cause unsafe furnace operation. For your safety, only OEM factory authorized parts are to be used on your furnace.
The furnace installed in your motor home is controlled by a thermostat. The furnace requires both 12-volt power and propane gas for full operation. Make sure you have sufficient power available before operating your furnace
If you have any questions contact your dealer or Jayco Customer Service.
A qualified RV technician should perform all furnace maintenance at least once a year
(more often depending on furnace usage).
Never attempt to repair the furnace yourself.
P ATIO A WNING
If weather conditions are windy or stormy, close the awning(s) into the travel mode position.
Awnings must be closed (and locked if applicable) while the RV is in transit.
Refer to the manufacturer’s user guide included in your Warranty Packet for operating and safety information.
Awning care
It is a good idea to keep the awnings in the closed position if you will be away from the motor home for an extended period of time.
Keep your awnings clean and in good condition to prevent costly repairs.
Periodically check that the fasteners are tight. Tighten if necessary.
Keep the awning fabric clean. For detailed cleaning information, refe r to the manufacturer’s owner information included in t he Owner’s Portfolio.
