faucets when a sufficient amount of water is
released.
Water temperatures over 125°F (49°C)
can cause severe burns instantly or death
from scalds; therefore, be careful when
using hot water. Always test the water
temperature before showering or washing.
The shower faucet (if so equipped) requires a
vacuum breaker when the shower hose and
head are used. There are two purposes for
this breaker:
□ To prevent siphoning water through the
hose from another fixture.
□ To prevent water from being contained in
the hose.
The showerhead DOES

is at the faucet). The showerhead may drip
slightly in the OFF position after use; this is
normal and does not indicate a leak or defect.
There may be air in the plumbing lines that
will need to be bled out before a steady
stream of water comes from the faucet.

Maintenance
Read the OEM operator's manual. The
shower walls (if applicable) in your RV are
made of ABS plastic material. Use a mild
detergent soap and warm water to clean
(these cleaning instructions are similar to
those recommended for fiberglass tubs and
shower walls). Contact your Dealer for repair
or replacement.
Do not use gritty or abrasive particle soaps or
scouring compound to clean ABS plastic.
Avoid using "Citrus"
cleaners which contain "D-Limonene." They
will damage plastic materials.

The water purification system is located under
the kitchen sink. If the water supply has not
been used for some time, allow the water to
flow for several minutes to flush the system.
When not in use, the water filter cartridge
should be stored out of freezing temperatures.
RV antifreeze will damage the water filter
cartridge. The OEM has supplied a clear
plastic bypass hose with fittings on either end
to replace the water filter cartridge when the
RV is being winterized. This clear plastic
bypass hose is re-usable; store it when it is
not in use.
Each new RV is winterized with RV antifreeze
before it leaves Jayco, Inc. To use the water
purification system the clear plastic bypass
hose must be removed and the water filter
cartridge installed.
