CAUTION: DO NOT push beds or slideout in until ALL Velcro is detached. Push
bed and slideout in COMPLETELY before beginning to lower roof. Failure to push
in beds and slideout completely BEFORE lowering roof can damage tent compo-
nents. Your Jayco Limited Warranty does not cover this damage.
FOR MODELS WITH SLIDEOUTS
a. Unfasten the Velcro® and snaps from the slideout and place the tent inside the
slideout.
b. Unlock the slideout. (Model #14SO does not have a lock.)
c. Push the slideout into travel position.
d. Lock the slideout. (Model #14SO does not have a lock.)
e. Pull the tent out of the slideout to ensure that the bed slides do not rip the tent.
CAUTION: Make sure the slideout tent is pulled to the outside of the unit before the
beds are pushed in. Failure to do this could result in cutting the slideout area tent.
9. Unfasten all Velcro located under beds.
10. Remove straight bed braces and push beds in carefully and completely.
11. Remove curved bed braces. Place all braces under bed mattresses carefully. (Fig. 3-7)
12. Lower roof half to two-thirds down. Reach inside and distribute awning panel of
tent and drape EVENLY across beds and slideout (if applicable).
13. Continue to lower roof until final 6-8". Using both hands and arms, push tent from
each side, front and rear, into the center of camper evenly and carefully continue to
lower roof.
14. Attach roof latches to clips (Fig. 3-2). Due to air pockets, the roof may need to be
pushed down with your hand the last 1-2".
15. Before removing crank, tighten cable system by turning crank in the “UP” move-
ment to make it taut taking caution not to overtighten. This will place slight tension
on cable system and avoid cables becoming loose and entangled.
CAUTION: It is very important to place tension on the cable system to prevent
them from becoming tangled. If the cables become tangled, it could lead to
breakage of the lifter cables when the roof is raised.
16. Remove crank and place in storage area inside camper.
17. Close and latch door to crank compartment.
CAUTION: Excessive snow, 8" or more, or ice, 2" or more, places excessive
weight on roof. Such excessive quantity of snow or ice should be removed as
needed. Care MUST be exercised as not to damage roof material when removing
snow & ice. Excessive weight can damage the roof, seals, etc. Water leaks and poor
fit or operation are the results of this damage.
