Draining And Storage Of Water Heater; Winterizing The Water Heater; Air Conditioner - Jayco 2004 Talon ZX Owner's Manual

a. Check for an obstruction in burner or flue box.
b. Check the screen in the door to see that no foreign material has accumulated to prevent
flow of combustion and ventilating air.
c. Check to be sure there is no flame present at burner orifice or burner whenever main gas
valve is closed. This can be checked by turning the OFF/ON switch to the "OFF"
position.
3. Frequent checks should be made of the grommet on the gas inlet to assure tight seal.
4. Periodically check wiring and wire connection to be sure wiring is not damaged/frayed and
that all terminals and connections are tight and in compliance with codes.

Draining and Storage of Water Heater

If RV is to be stored during winter months, the water heater must be drained to prevent damage
from freezing.
1. Turn off electrical power to water heater either at the switch from the electrical element or
at breaker.
2. Shut off gas supply to water heater.
3. Turn off pressure pump on water system.
4. Open both hot and cold water faucets.
5. Remove anode rod from tank.
6. Follow instructions for draining entire water system in Chapter 4.
NOTE: Be certain to refill water heater with water and remove all air from tank and lines
before relighting or before turning on electrical power.

Winterizing the Water Heater

If your water heater plumbing system is equipped with a bypass kit, use it to close off the water
heater, drain the water heater completely and leave the water heater closed off (out of the system)
in the bypass position particularly if you are introducing antifreeze into the plumbing system.
Antifreeze can be very corrosive to the anode rod creating premature failure and heavy sediment
in the tank. If the plumbing system is not equipped with a bypass kit, and you intend to winterize
by adding antifreeze to the system, remove the anode rod (storing it for winter) and replace it with
a 3/4"drain plug.
I
WARNING: Drain the water heater if it is subject to freezing temperatures.

AIR CONDITIONER

For proper operation of the air conditioner unit, it is important to clean and, if necessary, replace
the filters. The filters are made from long life non-allergenic natural fibers which can be cleaned
and reused, and which completely filter the circulated air when the air conditioner is in operation.
If the filters are not cleaned at regular intervals, they may become partially clogged with lint, dirt,
grease, etc. A clogged filter will produce a loss of air volume and may eventually cause an
icing-up of the cooling (evaporator) coil. It is recommended that the filters be cleaned and
changed at least every two weeks when the air conditioner is in operation.
