Chapter 7 - Maintenance/Storage; Slideout; Carbon Monoxide Detector; Testing - Jayco Eagle 264 BH Owner's Manual

MAINTENANCE/STORAGE
Your new Jayco travel trailer is designed to be as maintenance free as possible. However,
maintenance is important to retain its condition as near new as possible. Proper mainte-
nance will give you many trouble-free miles.
NOTE: Some areas in this chapter may not be applicable to your coach.

SLIDEOUT

Your Power Gear slideout system has been designed to require very little maintenance.
To ensure a long life of your slideout system, read and follow these simple instructions.
CAUTION: Do not work on your system unless the battery is disconnected.
• When the slideout is extended, visually inspect the inner slide rail assemblies
(Fig. 3-6 in Chapter 3). Check for excess build-up of dirt or other foreign material; re-
move any debris that may be present.
• If the system squeaks or makes any noise, apply a coat of lightweight oil to the drive
shaft and roller areas. (Fig. 3-6 in Chapter 3) Remove excess oil so dirt does not build-up.
• On travel trailers with a flush floor slideout, a light coat of silicone spray is recommended
one time per year. To apply the spray, lift the carpet flap. Using a light coat of spray,
make one pass all along the glide bar. It is recommended that this be done prior to each
camping season.
CAUTION: Use only a silicone spray to lubricate the glide bar. Other lubricants
may attract dirt and oils which will stain the carpet.
• If you have any problems or questions consult your local Jayco dealer or call Power Gear
1-800-334-4712.

CARBON MONOXIDE DETECTOR

Testing

WARNING: DO NOT attempt to test the detector by any other means than
using the "test" button. DO NOT attempt to produce carbon monoxide to test
the detector.
The CO detector should be tested weekly for proper operation:
1. Push the test button until the yellow LED lights and a short beep is heard for
approximately three seconds.
2. Release button.
The detector will test itself for proper operation. Upon completion of the self-test, the
alarm will sound and each of the LEDs will light for approximately ¾ second. The
detector will then resume normal operation.
