Chapter 5 Appliances; General; For Your Safety (Read Before Operating) - Jayco COVE 2002 Owner's Manual

GENERAL

I
WARNING: If the manufacturer's operation and care instructions are not followed
precisely, a fire or explosion may result causing property damage, personal injury or
loss of life.
All appliances in your Jayco park trailer are name brand quality built equipment, guided by current
code and standards. For gas operation, the appliances in your park trailer will operate on LP gas
only, not on natural gas. All safety precautions for LP gas from Chapter 4 must be followed during
operation of the appliances. Please familiarize yourself with them before proceeding.
This owner's manual covers basic appliance operation only. Make sure you read all manuals
provided by the appliance manufacturer which are included with each park trailer. These manuals
provide extensive information for your safety and the proper operation of the appliances.

For Your Safety (Read Before Operating)

1. Prior to operation, smell the area around the appliances for gas. Be sure to smell next to the
floor because some gas is heavier than air and will settle on the floor.
2. WHAT TO DO IF YOU SMELL GAS
• Extinguish any open flames.
• Evacuate all persons from the trailer.
• Shut off the gas supply at the gas tank or source.
• Do not touch any electrical switch or use phone or radio in the trailer.
• Do not start the trailer's engine or electric generator.
• Contact the nearest gas supplier or qualified service technician for repairs.
• If you cannot reach a gas supplier or qualified service technician, contact the nearest
fire department.
• Do not turn on the gas supply until the gas leak(s) has been repaired.
3. Use only your hand to turn a gas control valve. Never use tools. If the valve will not turn by
hand, do not try to repair it. Call a qualified service technician. Using force may result in a
fire or explosion.
4. Do not use the appliance if any part has become wet. Immediately call a qualified service
technician to inspect and replace any part of the control system and gas control which has
been under water.
5. Do not store or use combustible materials or liquids near or adjacent to any appliance.
Appliances must not be installed in any location where flammable liquids or vapors are likely
to be present.
6. Installation and service must be performed by a qualified installer, service center or gas
supplier.
