Lp Gas Bottles; Air Conditioner; Toilet - Jayco Jay Feather 2005 Owner's Manual

LP Gas Bottles

1. The LP gas bottle or tank must be painted with a light color, such as white or silver
plate, to reflect heat and light.
2. Rust, scratches, and/or dents can affect the safety of the bottle or tank. The D.O.T.
requires that a visual inspection be made prior to each filling.
3. Any container that has been exposed to fire, leaks or appears to be damaged should
not be refilled.
4. An LP bottle must always be placed in an upright position. Assure that the bottle is
secured in place prior to moving the vehicle.
5. The D.O.T. requires that LP bottles be inspected, certified and labeled when they are
twelve years old. (The number of years for certification may vary in your area.)
Following the initial twelve-year period, the bottle must be certified every five years.
6. The valve of the bottle or tank must be CLOSED at all times except when it is
connected to the recreation vehicle LP gas system or is being refilled.
7. Inspect the bottle at regular intervals. If there is a problem, have it evaluated by a
qualified technician and discard it, if necessary. Verify with your local LP dealer that
all required inspections and certifications have been completed on the LP bottle
within the correct time period before refilling the bottle.

AIR CONDITIONER

Consult the manufacturer's information supplied with your trailer and/or your
independent, authorized dealer for maintenance information on the air conditioning unit.
Information is also available at www.rvcomfort.com/rv_products.htm.
A special foam gasket is placed between the roof material and the subframe of the air
conditioner to guard against water leakage.
An air conditioner is subjected to wind pressures along with motor vibration during normal
operation. Inspect the mounting bolts for tightness to ensure there is no leakage or
looseness at least annually. Tighten bolts when they are loose. DO NOT overtighten these
bolts as it may damage the gasket.
To gain access to the bolts, remove the filtered panel cover on central air systems or the
entire air box on non-central air conditioners.

TOILET

The care and maintenance of your trailer's toilet should be performed according to the
instructions supplied by the toilet manufacturer. If you have further questions, consult with
your independent, authorized dealer and/or visit the manufacturer's website at
www.thetford.com.
