CAMPING & OPERATING
Inspect the mounting bolts for tightness to
ensure there is no leakage or looseness at
least annually. Re-tighten bolts when they are
loose. DO NOT over tighten these bolts as it
may damage this gasket.
The air conditioner gasket is a wearable part
that eventually will need to be replaced s
maintenance. To gain access to the bolts,
remove the filtered panel cover on central air
systems or the entire air box on non-central
air conditioners.
Heat pump operation
Set the thermostat for either electric or gas
heat. On the electric setting, the Polar
Mach™ heat pump will become the primary
heat source as long as the interior
temperature of the RV has not dropped 5°
below the thermostat setpoint. If this occurs,
the thermostat will automatically activate your
gas furnace. The furnace will continue as the
heat source until the thermostat setpoint has
been satisfied. At that point, the heat pump
will again become the primary heat source.
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.
PATIO AWNING
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, refer to the
manufacturer’s owner information
included in the Owner’s Portfolio.
.
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.
The furnace should be inspected
periodically (monthly during the heating
season) for presence of soot on the vent.
Soot is formed whenever combustion is
incomplete. This is a visual warning that
the furnace is operating in an unsafe
manner. If soot is observed on the vent,
immediately shut the furnace OFF and
contact a qualified service agency.
Operating the furnace under this condition
could lead to serious property damage,
personal injury or loss of life.
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.
