Breakaway Protection; Fire Extinguisher; Soft Shades - Jayco Eagle Owner's Manual

3. Back trailer up. This latch will slide into the correct position when pulling forward.
NOTE: It is extremely important to keep the master cylinder full at all times. An
empty cylinder invites moisture.

BREAKAWAY PROTECTION

The hydraulic brake system is equipped with a breakaway cable. When towing, this cable
should be attached loosely to a frame member of the tow vehicle leaving enough
clearance so that the trailer can turn freely without actuating the breakaway protection.
Should the trailer separate from the tow vehicle, the breakaway cable will actuate the
master cylinder, locking the brakes. This will stop the trailer in the shortest possible
distance.
CAUTION: Breakaway protection should be fully released during vehicle opera-
tion. Check before towing. Do not use breakaway protection as a parking brake.

FIRE EXTINGUISHER

A fire extinguisher is installed near the entrance door in the RV coach. Be familiar with
its location and operating instructions as printed on the extinguisher. It's too late to
become familiar with an extinguisher when an emergency is at hand.
The fire extinguisher is a dry chemical, non-refillable extinguisher. Do not test this
extinguisher. Doing so will cause loss of pressure making the extinguisher unusable. The
extinguisher must be discarded and replaced by a new one if any use has occurred.

SOFT SHADES

Soft shades are located at each window and can be opened and closed by pressing the
small buttons on each side of the black locks and drawing drape up or down to the
desired position.
WARNING: Keep soft shades in the upper most position while cooking on
the range top to prevent fire hazards.
WARNING: Never leave small children in the camper unattended. Children
can become entangled in the soft shade cords.
