Baja Marine JAY SERIES YEAR 2006 - Manual (Page 36)

Roof
Additional items secured to the roof of your trailer must be added into the over all trailer
weight. The load capacity of the roof must not be exceeded when loading the trailer. The
maximum weight of equipment secured to the roof of your trailer (in the travel mode) must
not exceed 350#.
It is your responsibility to be aware of the weight of items or equipment that may have been
added to your trailer after leaving the factory. Added equipment will reduce the available
cargo capacity of your trailer. The maximum weight that the roof can lift is 250#. This
maximum includes all attached equipment, such as bike rack, canopy, air conditioner, boat
rack, etc. The following list provides approximate empty weights for Jayco provided
brands. If you purchase other brands, obtain their weights from their literature or sales
people.
Equipment Pounds Kilograms
Canopy 23-28 11-18
Bike Rack 22 10
Boat Rack 19 9
Additional Bike Kits 7 3
13,500 BTU Air Conditioner Average 100 45
Never mount a storage pod directly to the roof. It is necessary to provide a rack system
which secures to the outer edges of the roof to support and evenly distribute the weight of
the storage pod. Consult with your independent, authorized dealer for proper installation.
Never walk on the roof. The roof of a folding camping trailer is not designed to
accommodate the weight, scratches, dents and punctures that can occur from walking on
the roof.
I
CAUTION: Never attempt to raise the roof with cargo secured to it.
HOLDING TANK(S) AND TRAILER WEIGHT
I
WARNING: We recommend that you DO NOT travel with waste in
your holding tanks. With one or more full or nearly full holding tank(s),
the towing characteristics of your trailer could change and may result
in property damage or personal injury.
The weight of holding tank contents are not calculated into the cargo carrying capacity of
the trailer. The extra weight will diminish the cargo capacity available to you. Traveling
with full holding tank(s) could possibly causing you to exceed the gross axle weight
rating(s), individual tire ratings and/or the gross vehicle weight rating (GVWR) of the unit.
Potential damage to suspension components, such as springs, tires and axles, could result.
If your trailer’s holding tank(s) are located behind the axles, the weight of the full tank(s)
will reduce the hitch weight. Trailer sway and other handling difficulties can be the result
of the hitch weight being too light.
If you are dry camping and cannot immediately empty the tank(s), use caution when
towing. Maintain lower speeds for better control of the trailer until you reach the nearest
dumping station.
