JAYCO TOWABLE SECTION 4-TOWING & SET-UP
TRAVEL TRAILER BREAKAWAY SWITCH
The breakaway switch is a crucial part of the RV braking system. Located on the travel
trailer A-frame, this switch will apply the trailer brakes if the trailer becomes detached
from the tow vehicle. Attach the breakaway switch lanyard to a permanent part of the tow
vehicle (on a travel trailer do not attach it to the hitch ball or similar removable parts)
when hitching the trailer. If the RV becomes detached from the tow vehicle, the pull pin
will be pulled from the switch. This automatically causes the switch to “close” and
activates the RV brakes.
A battery (customer supplied) must be installed to activate the breakaway switch.
ENTRANCE DOOR STEP(S)
Make sure your entrance step is fully
extended before exiting the vehicle, and
retracted prior to towing.
Lubricating the step mechanism
Carefully clean the area around the pivot
points (the rivets involved in the motion of
the mechanism). Lubricate these pivot points
with an automotive grade, non-staining
lubricant every 30 to 60 days.
Wipe any excess lubricant off of the step and
then clean the entire step after lubricating.
ENTRANCE DOOR
The entrance door is located on the curbside of the RV. Always hold onto the entrance
door when opening or closing it as damage caused because you failed to do so is not
covered by the Towable Limited Warranty.
KEYS
Several keys are provided when you purchase your vehicle. Most keys have an individual
key number stamped on the plate. Record these key numbers and keep the information in
a safe place. You can order a key blank from your dealer to have duplicate keys made. If
you lose the keys, contact your dealer or a locksmith for assistance. Make sure the keys
are not inside the vehicle before you close and lock the entrance door.
CAUTION
NEVER use the breakaway switch and trailer brake system as a parking brake. Doing
so would create a high amp draw on the battery and converter. This can cause
damage to wiring, connectors and the breakaway switch.
RV Step
CAUTION
Make sure the entrance door is completely closed and locked when traveling. Locking
the door helps prevent it from opening unintentionally.
