13.
Refill the fresh water system with clean water. Use pressure fill or siphon fill method
explained previously. Turn the water heater power ON only when the water heater is
full of water.
14. To verify water heater is full, open hot water faucets, turn pump ON, and when water
runs in a steady stream from the faucets, the water heater is full. Turn OFF the pump
and the faucets.
Winterizing (with Utility Center)
Preparing your recreation vehicle for colder weather or storage is very important for most
states and Canada. Failure to prepare your RV may cause water supply lines and the water
heater to freeze. The RV should be winterized at the end of the camping season or when it
will be exposed to temperatures that will fall at or below 32°F (0°C). Repairs due to freezing
are not covered by warranty.
If you choose to perform the winterization process yourself, read and understand the follow-
ing information before starting. Contact customer service or your dealer for questions about
this process. It may be easier to winterize the RV with another person to assist you.
The preferred method to winterize your recreation vehicle is by using RV antifreeze in the
plumbing system.
NOTE:
If filling the fresh water tank remember to set the two valves at the
water pump back to the NORMAL position when the tank is full.
NOTE:
The winterization process may vary slightly due to different plumb-
ing configurations between models.
NOTE:
Appliances (refrigerator, dishwasher or clothes washer) must be
winterized. Refer to the appliance owner’s manual for possible additional
information or contact your Dealer or Customer Service for assistance.
NOTE:
The water heater must be drained to prevent damage from freez-
ing. It is recommended the water heater be drained and bypassed during
the winterization process particularly if introducing RV antifreeze into the
plumbing system.
Do not drain the water heater while it is hot or
under pressure!
Antifreeze should be kept out of the water heater.
