Holding Tanks; Waste (Black) Tank Preparation; Gray Water Holding Tank; Lp Gas System - Jayco Jay Feather 2005 Owner's Manual

vent cap is attached to the roof and must be clear of obstructions to perform as intended. On
some models, the vent pipe may be part of the drainage system referred to as a "wet vent."
This means water flows downward as air flows upward in the same pipe.

Holding Tanks

The final part of your system are the holding tanks. They hold waste and are located below
the floor of your trailer. The bath tub and sinks drain into the waste water tank, also referred
to as the "gray" water holding tank. The toilet drains into the sewage holding tank, also
referred to as the "black" waste holding tank. Certain floor plans may also have the
lavatory draining into the waste (black) tank.

WASTE (BLACK) TANK PREPARATION

1. Release one to two quarts (1 or 2 liters) of water into the toilet bowl.
2. Follow the directions on your toilet chemical bottle, by placing the recommended
quantity of holding tank chemical into the bowl.
3. Flush the toilet and allow at least two gallons (8 liters) of water to flow into the tank.
Caution: It is important to add enough water to prevent solid waste build up. Follow
these directions each time after emptying your holding tank, except when
winterizing.

GRAY WATER HOLDING TANK

No special preparation is required, however, placing a small quantity of chemicals into this
tank, such as baking soda or an approved RV chemical, will reduce odors from food
particles in the system.

LP GAS SYSTEM

I
DANGER: LP gas can be extremely dangerous. Improper use of the LP
gas system will present an immediate hazard situation where death or
serious injury will result. It is possible that mechanical or property
damage will also occur. Make sure you read, understand and follow all
information supplied with your unit in this manual and all component
part manufacturer's literature.
It is because of the LP gas system that your RV has the convenience of a refrigerator, stove,
water-heater, and furnace. The components of the LP gas system are:
• LP gas container or bottle
• A two stage regulator
• Pipes, hoses and tubing to deliver the gas to appliances
When correctly used, the LP gas system is a safe and effective way to operate the
appliances in your RV. This system is also potentially very dangerous and should be used
with care. Carefully read, understand and follow all information supplied with your trailer
for the LP gas System and its components and consult with your independent, authorized
dealer about the proper operation of the LP gas system.
