Lighting Instructions - Jayco Eagle Owner's Manual

WARNING: When first fired, the furnace may circulate fumes caused by
the heating of materials used in the furnace manufacturing process. These
fumes may cause physical irritation in some persons. The first heating of
some building materials in the trailer can give off fumes that can be fatal to
birds or other small animals and may be harmful to humans. Open all
windows and doors when firing the furnace for the first time until the fumes
have fully dissipated to the outside.
WARNING: Do not operate this furnace while the vehicle is in motion.
WARNING: Should the furnace overheat, or the gas supply fail to shut
down, turn off the main gas valve to the appliance prior to cutting off the
electrical supply.
WARNING: A flow of combustion and ventilation air must not be ob-
structed from reaching the furnace.

the rapid loss of interior heat.

ignite after three attempts, turn the thermostat to "OFF" and call a qualified technician or
your gas supplier.
