to act as a vent when flushed, causing severe odors in the vehicle and possibly spraying waste into the interior
of the coach.
HOLDING TANK FLUSH SYSTEM (OPTIONAL)
The optional holding tank flush kit is installed on the gray and black water holding tank system. To use this system,
connect a water hose to the flush kit hose located inside the holding tank dump valve compartment. Note that the
lever used on this system is not an “on/off” lever, but rather a selector for which tank you wish to flush. After
connecting your water hose, turn on the water to begin flushing your tank. For best results leave the dump valves
closed until you have flushed each tank. Do not leave the flush system unattended, unless you decide to leave your
dump valves open.
The optional glass container on the flush system hose is used to house a sanitation tablet for sanitizing each tank.
Tablets are available at most RV dealers or RV parts stores.
WATER SYSTEM WINTERIZING
NOTE: READ THIS BEFORE WINTERIZING YOUR WATER SYSTEM.
If your RV is going to be stored unheated in temperatures that COULD GO BELOW FREEZING, the fresh water and
waste systems must be winterized.
Follow this procedure:
1. Drain the fresh water tank.
2. Drain pipes by turning the water pump ON and opening a cold water faucet. Wait for the water flow to stop. Turn
pump OFF. Leave faucets OPEN.
3. Turn ON all faucets and OPEN the HOT and COLD WATER PIPE DRAIN VALVES. Leave these valves in the
OPEN position. These valves are located either under the galley sink or in an exterior compartment, and permit
the water to drain onto the ground below the RV.
4. OPEN the WATER HEATER drain valve located at the bottom of the heater (or remove plug). Let the water drain
out. OPEN the heater SAFETY VALVE.
5. Flush the toilet.
6. After each faucet has been opened, drained and closed, CLOSE the WATER LINE DRAIN VALVES.
7. Drain the WASTE WATER HOLDING TANK.
8. Double check that ALL WATER has been drained.
9. Secure all protective caps including the water tank filler, city water inlet and waste drain outlet.
CAUTION: DRAINING THE WATER SYSTEM ALONE MAY NOT BE ENOUGH TO PROVIDE COMPLETE COLD
WEATHER PROTECTION FOR AN RV UNIT THAT WILL BE STORED IN AN UNHEATED ENVIRONMENT WHERE
TEMPERATURES DROP BELOW FREEZING. CONSULT YOUR DEALER FOR MORE INFORMATION ON THE
BEST METHOD OF WINTERIZING YOUR VEHICLE.
Units equipped with a winterization siphon hose should use it to pump RV anti-freeze into the plumbing system.
Always pour a cupful of RV anti-freeze into each drain after your coach has been winterized.
WARNING: DO NOT USE AUTOMOTIVE ANTI-FREEZE OR WINDSHIELD WASHER FLUID ANTI-FREEZE
IN THE MOTOR HOME WATER SYSTEM. THESE CAN BE HARMFUL OR FATAL IF SWALLOWED. YOUR
DEALER CAN PROVIDE YOU WITH SPECIAL ANTI-FREEZE THAT IS SAFE AND APPROVED FOR RV
WATER SYSTEMS. ALWAYS FOLLOW MANUFACTURER’S INSTRUCTIONS FOR THESE ADDITIVES.
APPLIANCES
WARNING: THE HOT WATER HEATER AND FURNACE USE LP GAS AS FUEL, AND IN THE COURSE OF
