Water Heater (If So Equipped) - Jayco 2016 Jay Series Owner's Manual

SECTION 8 - PLUMBING SYSTEM
Water Pump Switch (if so equipped): This unlit, unlabeled rocker switch is
normally located in the vicinity of the sink cabinet. (Fig 8.4)
When the water pump switch is ON the water pump runs until 45 lbs. of pressure
has been achieved. It will recycle when pressure drops. Turn the water pump
switch OFF when it is not in use.
The water pump switch should be in the OFF position when the RV is left
unattended for any amount of time. If something would happen to the water
system, this may help limit water damage to a smaller area.
NOTE: When you want to use water in your RV and the RV is not hooked up to
city water, you will need sufficient 12-volt DC power to run the water pump.

ATER EATER
The water heater is designed to heat water quickly and efficiently. The water
heater manufacturer has preset the sensing limit to maintain the water
temperature when the water heater is activated.
Hydrogen gas may result if you have not used the water heater for two weeks
or more. HYDROGEN GAS IS EXTREMELY FLAMMABLE. To reduce the
risk of injury under these conditions, open the hot water faucet for several
minutes at the kitchen sink before you use any electrical appliance connected
to the hot water system. If hydrogen is present, you may hear what sounds
like air escaping through the pipe as the water begins to flow. Hydrogen gas
may be present even after water has been drained from the water heater
tank. Open the faucet at the sink and allow the system to vent for five to ten
minutes. Do not smoke or have any open flame near the open faucet while
venting. On DSI water heater models, make sure the switch is OFF.
Do not replace any component part with an accessory part that is not
authorized by the water heater manufacturer, such as an "add-on" electric
heating element. Such items are not approved to be installed and could
create an unsafe condition and will void all warranties.
Operating instructions:
If you smell propane gas then STOP! and follow the procedures listed in the
Fuel Systems section of this manual before attempting to operate the water
heater.
Read the safety and operating information provided in the manufacturer's manual
before attempting to activate the water heater.
