Utility Hookups; Electricity; Water; To Utilize The City Water Connection - Jayco Jay Feather 2005 Owner's Manual

UTILITY HOOKUPS

To complete the unit set-up, the utilities should be hooked to the proper sources as supplied
by the campground. Make sure that you read, understand and follow all information
provided for complete operation of the utility systems.

Electricity

By connecting the RV electric system to the campground electric source, or "shoreline"
power, electricity will be supplied to operate the 120-volt AC and 12-volt DC electrical
systems. When hooking up to electricity, follow these steps:
1. Make sure that all circuit breakers are turned off in the RV.
2. Locate the power cord and pull it from the RV to the length required.
3. Plug into the campground power source
I
WARNING: Do not use an adapter, cheater or extension cord that will
break the continuity of the grounding circuit. NEVER remove the
grounding pin to connect to a non-grounded receptacle. Any deviation
from this will potentially cause a fire from overheating.
Caution: Power surges experienced while plugged in at a campground could
potentially damage electronic component parts in your recreation vehicle. Damage
from power surges are not covered by your Jayco warranty. Consult the component
part manufacturer's owner's manual and/or your independent, authorized dealer
for recommendations on power surge protection.

Water

A complete fresh water system is included in your RV. Fresh
water is supplied to the system from two sources:
• City fill connection hooked to an exterior water source.
• Depending on your floor plan, there will be a gravity fill
tank installed on the trailer inside the trailer or outside,
attached beneath the trailer frame.

TO UTILIZE THE CITY WATER CONNECTION:

1. Attach a fresh water hose from the city water connection
(Fig. 12) to the campground water source.
2. When the water is turned on, you may experience some air in
the water lines. Make sure to let all this air escape before
turning off the faucet.
Caution: The handle should be in the tank water position when
connecting the city water to avoid a city water spill.

TO UTILIZE THE GRAVITY FILL TANK:

1. Remove the cap from the gravity fill connection. (Fig. 13)
2. From an exterior water source, insert the fresh water hose into the gravity fill
connection.
