Chapter 8 - Options; Air Conditioner; Generator - Jayco Eagle 264 BH Owner's Manual

Note: Each item listed in this chapter is an option as the travel trailer is built by Jayco.

AIR CONDITIONER

Air conditioners may be installed by the Jayco factory or by your dealer. If you did not
buy your camper with the optional air conditioner, one of your roof vents may be pre-
wired for later installation. Your dealer can provide you with additional information
concerning this.
There are a variety of air conditioners available. For specific instructions for the air
conditioner, consult your dealer and the manufacturer's owner's manual.
Some models have Central Air Conditioning available. All cooled air is moved through a
duct built into the roof and enters the travel trailer through a group of round registers.
Keep all registers open to insure full airflow. Closing the register(s) may cause the
compressor to freeze, which could shut down the cooling process.
A special foam gasket is placed between the roof material and the subframe of the air
conditioner to guard against water leakage.
An air conditioner is subjected to wind pressures along with motor vibration during
normal operation. Annually inspect the mounting bolts for tightness to ensure there is no
leakage or looseness. Retighten bolts when they are loose. DO NOT overtighten these
bolts as it may damage the gasket.
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.
CAUTION: When camping at campgrounds providing less than 30 amp service,
discontinue air conditioning use when using the microwave.

GENERATOR

The function of a generator is to supply 120-volt AC power on a limited basis when
extended power is not available.
The power to start the generator comes from the auxiliary battery. A start/stop switch is
located on a mounting plate with the generator. A remote start switch may be located on
the monitor panel in the range hood.
With the exception of simple items such as spark plugs and oil changes, all service work
should be done by authorized service centers. Improper adjustments can damage the
generator and electrical appliances, and can result in a safety hazard. An authorized
service center has trained specialists who know how to keep your generator running
safely and reliably.
