Section 3: Pre -Travel Information; Cargo Capacity & Weight Labels - Jayco 2016 Jay Series Owner's Manual

SECTION 3 - PRE-TRAVEL INFORMATION
1. Prior to backing up a slope or through soft ground, pull the RV forward slightly
to assure that the actuator socket is in the forward position.
2. Move the lever on the side of the actuator downward from the "towing
position" along the curved slot in the actuator frame to the "backup position."
The slot has a notch at the bottom of its travel. Push the lever down to
engage the locking notch.
3. The RV will now back up. This lever will slide into the correct position when
pulling forward.
It is extremely important to keep the master cylinder full at all times. An empty
cylinder invites moisture.
Tow vehicle battery
The tow vehicle battery is the primary source of power for your RV's electric brake
operation. To ensure available power when needed, keep your tow vehicle battery
and charging system working properly.
Brake controller (customer supplied)
The brake controller should be installed in the tow vehicle to work in conjunction
with the RV electric brakes. Consult with your dealer or the brake controller OEM
to decide what is right for your towing combination.

Decals and data plates used throughout the RV aid in its safe and efficient
operation; others give service instructions.
Read all decals, data and instruction plates before operating the RV. If any decal,
data or instruction plate is painted over, damaged or removed, it should be
replaced.
Keep a record of the 17 digit Vehicle Identification Number (VIN) and your license
number in the event theft or vandalism requires you to supply this information to
the authorities.
The factory-installed weight labels are specific to the recreation vehicle for
which they are supplied and are not interchangeable. Do not remove these
labels from your RV.
Customer Service for replacements.
