Battery Charger; Trailer Hitch Plug - Jayco Eagle Owner's Manual

CAUTION: When drawing current from the tow vehicle battery, be sure to avoid
draining battery to a low point that the tow vehicle will not start.
All Jayco folding camping trailers have ceiling light circuit directed through a master
shut-off switch to prevent 12-volt current flow to ceiling lights with roof lowered.
Periodically test light and switch to be sure switch adjustment is correct. Switch is
located along bottom edge of roof on left (road) side.
WARNING: The converter output is not intended to power the optional 3-
way refrigerator. When the folding camping trailer is parked and the power
cord is plugged in, set the 3-way refrigerator to "AC Power." A "DC" mode is
to be used when traveling and will pull its power from the auxiliary battery
charge line. While camping without available AC power, utilize the "LP Gas"
mode.
Please note, battery warranties are prorated.

Battery Charger

The converter will automatically monitor and charge the auxiliary battery up to a 20-amp
rate. In order to maintain the battery, one of two things is recommended:
• The battery can be stored in a fully charged condition.
• The battery can be hooked to a battery charger once per month.
Battery terminals and connectors, including vehicle frame connections, should be cleaned
thoroughly, securely fastened, and coated with a silicone dialectic compound or petro-
leum jelly.

The connector between tow vehicle and trailer may build up corrosion over a period of
time. This is caused by weather elements, and should be cleaned occasionally to insure
good electrical contact.
For the electric brake option, a brake controller must be installed to power the blue wire
when the brakes are applied. Included is a brake-away switch for emergency stopping.
See your dealer for installation.
