Canopy Setup - Jayco Eagle Owner's Manual

CAUTION: DO NOT push beds or slideout in until ALL Velcro is detached. Push
bed and slideout in COMPLETELY before beginning to lower roof. Failure to push
in beds and slideout completely BEFORE lowering roof can damage tent compo-
nents. Your Jayco Limited Warranty does not cover this damage.
FOR MODELS WITH SLIDEOUTS
a. Unfasten the Velcro® and snaps from the slideout and place the tent inside the
slideout.
b. Unlock the slideout. (Model #14SO does not have a lock.)
c. Push the slideout into travel position.
d. Lock the slideout. (Model #14SO does not have a lock.)
e. Pull the tent out of the slideout to ensure that the bed slides do not rip the tent.
CAUTION: Make sure the slideout tent is pulled to the outside of the unit before the
beds are pushed in. Failure to do this could result in cutting the slideout area tent.
9. Unfasten all Velcro located under beds.
10. Remove straight bed braces and push beds in carefully and completely.
11. Remove curved bed braces. Place all braces under bed mattresses carefully. (Fig. 3-7)
12. Lower roof half to two-thirds down. Reach inside and distribute awning panel of
tent and drape EVENLY across beds and slideout (if applicable).
13. Continue to lower roof until final 6-8". Using both hands and arms, push tent from
each side, front and rear, into the center of camper evenly and carefully continue to
lower roof.
14. Attach roof latches to clips (Fig. 3-2). Due to air pockets, the roof may need to be
pushed down with your hand the last 1-2".
15. Before removing crank, tighten cable system by turning crank in the "UP" move-
ment to make it taut taking caution not to overtighten. This will place slight tension
on cable system and avoid cables becoming loose and entangled.
CAUTION: It is very important to place tension on the cable system to prevent them
from becoming tangled. If the cables become tangled, it could lead to breakage of
the lifter cables when the roof is raised.
16. Remove crank and place in storage area inside camper.
17. Close and latch door to crank compartment.
CAUTION: Excessive snow, 8" or more, or ice, 2" or more, places excessive
weight on roof. Such excessive quantity of snow or ice should be removed as
needed. Care MUST be exercised as not to damage roof material when removing
snow & ice. Excessive weight can damage the roof, seals, etc. Water leaks and poor
fit or operation are the results of this damage.

CANOPY SETUP

Your canopy has been designed and built with quality material to give you years of
trouble free service with low maintenance.
Read these instructions fully before beginning setup. Become familiar with each pole, its
description and where it belongs. Refer to Fig. 3-15
One person can do the setup, but two people will make it easier.
1. Open zipper and unroll canopy fabric.
2. Insert the two end divider bars "C" (with gray caps) and center spacer bar "D" (7/8"
tube) into front pocket of the canopy. These bars may be left in the canopy during
travel or storage, but should be removed during winter storage to avoid corrosion.
3. Assemble the two parts of a tension rafter, Pole "A." Insert the peg through the
"eye" of the twist pole "B" and then through the hole in the middle of the center
spacer bar "D." Compress tension rafter and place in the center of the roof side
board, as pictured. The metal tip from the tension rafter will rest against the roof
metal or the canopy bag.
4. If no screen room is being installed, repeat step #3 on the front and rear tension
rafter, inserting the end of the tension rafter through twist poles "B" and the end
divider bars "C." Position tension rafter as in step #3.
5. After all the poles are installed:
a) Adjust the canopy to fit properly.
b) Adjust the height of the canopy with the twist lock poles.
c) Install the three stakes to anchor the canopy in case of strong winds.
CAUTION: Always install the stakes to avoid wind damage to the poles and the
fabric. In severe wind it is best to remove the canopy. Wind and rain damage are not
covered by warranty.
