Never allow LP gas tanks to be filled above the liquid capacity indicated on the tank. If a LP gas
tank is overfilled, liquid gas may flow through the regulator causing it to freeze and/or introduce a
dangerous excessive gas pressure into the lines. In addition, an overfilled tank placed in sunlight
may expel excess gas through the relief valve and be susceptible to ignition by any nearby open
flame.
Electrical System Safety
Circuit breakers and fuses are installed to protect electrical circuits from overloading. Do not make
unauthorized changes to circuitry or add on fixed appliances yourself. If you wish to make
changes, consult your dealer and he will assist you in obtaining a safe installation.
An approved power supply cord has been supplied with the vehicle. Always use this cord for
hook-up to the 120-volt source. Note that the cord has a three pin plug, which provides proper
grounding through the third (round) pin. Grounding is your personal protection from electrical
shock.
y
WARNING: Do not use an adapter, cheater, or extension cord that will break the
continuity of the grounding circuit connected to the third pin. NEVER remove the
grounding pin to connect a non-grounded, two-prong receptacle. Any deviation from
this will potentially cause a fire from overheating.
Safety When Emergency Stopping
Pull off the roadway as far as possible for emergency situations and turn on the vehicular hazard
warning flashers. If necessary, display your road flags and/or reflective triangular highway
warning devices.
NOTE: Always carry road flags and/or reflective triangular highway warning devices to
be displayed when necessary.
Additional Safety Considerations
y
WARNING: For traveling safety, it is extremely important to read and understand
the towing, hitching and loading cargo information provided in Chapter 3. If you do
not understand the information provided, please consult your dealer or Jayco owner
representative.
• Sanitize the fresh water supply system periodically (see sanitizing instructions).
• Prevent water connection fittings from coming in contact with the ground or drain hose to
reduce chance of contamination.
• Enlist services of a qualified or certified RV technician to repair and maintain gas or electrical
appliances.
• Always have a serviceable fire extinguisher placed in an easily accessible location.
• Ensure that tires are in good condition and properly inflated. Proper inflation should be
monitored closely. Neglecting to do so could result in overheating of a tire, which could result
in a blowout.
