MAINTENANCE/STORAGE
Your new Jayco travel trailer is designed to be as maintenance free as possible. However,
maintenance is important to retain its condition as near new as possible. Proper mainte-
nance will give you many trouble-free miles.
NOTE: Some areas in this chapter may not be applicable to your coach.

SLIDEOUT

Your Power Gear slideout system has been designed to require very little maintenance. To
ensure a long life of your slideout system, read and follow these simple instructions.
CAUTION: Do not work on your system unless the battery is disconnected.
• When the slideout is extended, visually inspect the inner slide rail assemblies (Fig. 3-4).
Check for excess build-up of dirt or other foreign material; remove any debris that may
be present.
• If the system squeaks or makes any noise, apply a coat of lightweight oil to the drive
shaft and roller areas. (Fig. 3-4) Remove excess oil so dirt does not build-up.
• If you have any problems or questions consult your local Jayco dealer or call Power Gear
1-800-334-4712.

CARBON MONOXIDE DETECTOR

Testing
WARNING: DO NOT attempt to test the detector by any other means than
using the "test" button. DO NOT attempt to produce carbon monoxide to
test the detector.
The CO detector should be tested weekly for proper operation:
1. Push the test button until the yellow LED lights and a short beep is heard for
approximately three seconds.
2. Release button.
The detector will test itself for proper operation. Upon completion of the self-test, the
alarm will sound and each of the LEDs will light for approximately ¾ second. The
detector will then resume normal operation.
Battery Replacement
Under normal operating conditions, the battery will last approximately one year. The
detector has a low battery monitor circuit which will cause the detector to make a chirping
sound then the red LED to flash every 30-40 seconds for a minimum of seven (7) days
indicating the battery is low. Replace the battery when this occurs. Use only 9-volt
batteries for the CO detector.
WARNING: Use only the batteries specified for replacement. Use of differ-
ent batteries may have a detrimental effect on the CO detector.
