air conditioner. This also will lead to a loss of
air volume, possible equipment damage and
an expensive cleaning process.
A special foam gasket is placed between the
roof material and the subframe of the air
conditioner to guard against water leakage.
The 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. Re-tighten bolts
when they are loose. DO NOT over tighten
these bolts as it may damage this gasket. The
air conditioner gasket is a wearable part that
eventually will need to be replaced s
maintenance. 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.
Heat pump operation
Set the thermostat for either electric or gas
heat. On the electric setting, the Polar Mach™
heat pump will become the primary heat
source as long as the interior temperature of
the RV has not dropped 5° below the
thermostat
setpoint. If
thermostat will automatically activate your gas
furnace. The furnace will continue as the heat
source until the thermostat setpoint has been
satisfied. At that point, the heat pump will
again become the primary heat source.

CAMPING & OPERATING
The RV furnace installed in the RV is
controlled by a thermostat. The furnace
requires both 12-volt power and propane gas
for full operation. Make sure you have
sufficient power available before operating
your furnace If you have any questions
contact your dealer or Jayco Customer
Service.
A qualified RV technician should perform all
furnace maintenance at least once a year
(more often depending on furnace usage).
Never attempt to repair the furnace yourself.
To ensure your personal safety, do not
obstruct or alter the furnace in any
manner. Do not install screens over the
vent for any reason. Screens will become
restricted
and
cause
operation. For your safety, only OEM
factory authorized parts are to be used on
your furnace.
