Winterize the Macerator system (if so equipped)
1.
Ensure all waste tanks are empty.
2.
Pour RV antifreeze into the toilet and down into the black water tank.
3.
Make sure macerator bypass valve in pulled OUT.
Turn the macerator pump ON.
4.
Run the pump until antifreeze begins to discharge
from the dump connector attached to the flex hose.
5.
Turn the macerator pump OFF.
6.
Drain the flex hose by holding it at a sloped angle
to drain excess water and return the hose to the
storage location.
7.
As an added safety measure, open the Macerator
Bypass valve and let it drain. Push the valve IN
to bypass the macerator. The bypass valve may be
either at the utility center or under the RV.
8.
After draining make sure to pull the macerator by-
pass valve OUT again.
De-winterize the macerator system:
Emptying the black tanks in the spring will flush
antifreeze out of the macerator system.
Water can accumulate in the flexible hose and dump connector of the macera
-
tor system. When winterizing the RV, antifreeze must be added to the macera-
tor system.
NOTE:
Use a container (bucket) for capturing system fluid.
NOTE:
The bypass valve for the macerator is typically pointing back
underneath the coach. Handle position is normally pulled OUT (bypass
closed). The valve position is by design, so it can’t be activated accidentally
when system is operating normally.
