Setting Up Your Sport Utility Trailer; Rear Bed Operation - Jayco 2004 Talon ZX Owner's Manual

Setting Up Your Sport Utility Trailer

We recommend that you select a level or nearly level place for camping. There are two reasons to be
level. First, your sport utility trailer is designed to operate in a level position for both water drainage
system and especially your refrigerator. Second, it is more comfortable to live on the level. If a level
site is not available, use short 2" x 6" blocks of wood to raise the lower side's wheels.
Before unhooking the sport utility trailer from tow vehicle, always mount dolly wheel to tongue jack
and block trailer wheels to keep trailer from moving.
1. Release weight distributing bars.
2. Release safety latch on coupler.
3. Raise coupler on A-frame by turning tongue jack until ball is free.
4. Disconnect 7-way wire connector, safety chains, and breakaway
cable.
5. Move tow vehicle away as desired.
6. Lower tongue jack until sport utility trailer is level.
7. Lower the stabilizer jacks (option) (Fig. 3-9) by placing the crank
onto the jack shaft and turning clockwise to lower it until the frame of
the sport utility trailer begins to rise slightly. Equalize all four jacks for best support. You
may need to adjust each jack two or three times. For convenience when you are not parked
on cement, you may wish to place a wood or hard plastic block under the jack.
I
CAUTION: Do not use the stabilizer jacks to level the unit. It is important to remember that
stabilizer jacks are to be used only for support while occupying and moving around in your
sport utility trailer. They are not designed to bear the weight of the sport utility trailer.

REAR BED OPERATION

Set Up
1. Make sure that no cargo or people are in
the way of the bed. Raise the
mini-blinds for traveling.
2. Pull the grab handle at the rear of the
bunk down until it rests on the bumper
located on the rear support brackets.
3. Pull the grab handle at the front of the
bunk down to rest on the front support
brackets.
Store Away
1. Remove any obstacles from on top of
the bunk.
2. Push up on the front side of the bed first.
3. Push up on the rear side of the bed
making sure the front edge of the bed rests on top of the top front support brackets.
I
CAUTION: The rear bed must be stored in the up position while traveling to avoid
damaging the bed and the support brackets.
