Battery or converter power source
The propane alarm should never be
disabled because of nuisance or low
battery alarms. If the auxiliary battery cable
is disconnected, and other 12-volt power is
not available, the propane alarm will not
work and you will not be warned if leaking
propane is present.
The propane alarm is powered by 12-volt DC
through the converter or from an auxiliary

RV until the problem is
ing at

t properly,
battery. This propane alarm
drawing a small amount of 12-volt
although this current draw is slight, it could
drain your auxiliary battery during extended
storage periods. If the auxiliary battery
becomes extremely drained, the LED light on
the face of the alarm will not light or the alarm
may begin to sound on its own. This condition
is not likely to occur except during storage
situations.

UEL AFETY
For your protection and others, it is critical to
understand the danger associated with fuel.
Take time to become educated about the
property of fuel and use it safely. If you spill
fuel on the RV, clean it up immediately. Fuel
can dull or soften paint and damage other
surfaces. Use care when fueling your RV.
Automotive fuels can cause serious injury
or death if misused or mishandled. If you
have further questions, consult your dealer
or Jayco Custom er Service for assistance.
□ Always shut OFF the tow vehicle
engine while refueling.
□ Do not bring or store fuel or other
flammable liquids
because a fire or explosion may result.
□ Before refueling, extinguish all smoking
materials and any open flames.
□ Before refueling, always turn OFF all
spark producing appliances (i.e., water
heaters, furnaces, etc.).
□ Do not overfill the fuel tank(s). The
pressure in an overfilled fuel tank may
cause leakage and lead to fuel spray
and/or fire.
□ Fuel spills represent a serious fire
hazard, and should be cleaned up
immediately.
□ Never restart an engine or re-light any
pilot lights while raw fuel is present.
