EMINARS
If you have any concerns about driving while
towing a trailer, consult an expert for specific
RV driver education. There are private RV
schools and some RV owner's organizations
that offer driving seminars. The schedules
and locations of the various RV driver
education seminars and schools can be
researched through RV-related publications
and internet sites.
Use caution when using the internet as a
resource tool. Verify the information is from a
credited and reliable source in the RV
industry, and it pertains to your trailer. If in
doubt, contact your dealer or Jayco Customer
Service.

RIVING
&
A
LCOHOL
The presence of alcohol in significant levels in
the blood increases the probability that the
driver will be involved in an accident. Exercise
your good judgment and encourage others to
do the same. Know the legal alcohol limits
and do not exceed them. Be aware of your
personal limits, which may be lower than the
legal limits. Should you ever exceed your
limits or find your driving is impaired, find
alternative transportation.
NEVER DRINK
AND THEN DRIVE.

The breakaway switch is a crucial part of the
park trailer braking system. Located on the
park 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 park trailer do not attach it to the
hitch ball or similar removable parts) when
hitching the trailer. If the park trailer 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
park trailer brakes.
A battery (customer supplied) must be
installed to activate the breakaway switch.

HAINS
Safety chain requirements vary from state to
state. Your park trailer is equipped with
chains to meet SAE standard requirements
for maximum gross trailer weight. Always
have the safety chains attached when towing.
Install them as shown below so they do not
restrict sharp turns, but tight enough so they
do not drag on the ground.
Driving after drinking or taking drugs
(including some prescriptions and/or over-
the-counter medications) can lead to an
accident. Studies have shown perceptions
are less sharp, reflexes are slower,
drowsiness may be experienced and/or
judgment may be impaired.
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.
