ETTING
Generally speaking, this setting allows you to
use the water system when dry camping.
1. If needed, sanitize the water system prior
to travel.
2. Turn the appropriate (12-volt or 120-volt)
water heater control switch ON.
3. Move the “water heater bypass valve” to
the NORMAL position.
4. Place the utility center valves in the
“Normal” position.
5. Turn on the water pump (make sure you
have sufficient 12-volt power).
6. Water will be pumped from the fresh water
tank to all faucets.

INTERIZATION
Preparing your RV 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. No commodity or product should be
added to the fresh water system to ensure
freeze protection other than RV antifreeze.
The RV should be winterized at the end of the
camping season or when the RV will be
exposed to temperatures that will fall at or
below 32°F (0°C). Repairs due to freezing are
not covered by warranty.
There are two methods of winterizing your
motorhome based upon your model. Please
read, understand and follow all instructions
before beginning.
Air pressure (all models)
This method will utilize an air hose to blow
excess water from the water lines.
1. Make sure all holding tanks are empty and
drain valves OPEN.
2. Run the water pump until it is dry, this will
take approximately 15-20 seconds.
3. OPEN all faucets and drains, and the toilet.
4. Using an air hose and adapter (customer
supplied), blow air through the city water
connection. Any remaining water will blow
out in five to ten minutes.
5. Pour one cup of non-toxic RV antifreeze
into all drain P-traps.
Water heater bypass (most models)
It may be easier to winterize the RV with
another person to assist you.
1. Level the RV and drain the fresh water
plumbing system.
2. Replace the water filter cartridge with the
clear plastic bypass hose.
3. Make sure the water heater 12-volt and
120-volt interior control switches are OFF.
4. Turn the water heater bypass valve to the
BYPASS position.
5. Move the valves to the “Sanitize/Winterize
Lines” position. The low point drains must
be closed for the antifreeze to siphon
through the lines.
6. Insert the garden hose into a container of
RV antifreeze solution (this quantity should
be enough to winterize the RV); attach the
other end to the city water connection.

SECTION 5
PLUMBING SYSTEM
WARNING
Automotive antifreeze (ethylene glycol) and
windshield washer antifreeze (methanol)
are poisonous. Never use these products in
your fresh water system. These products
are harmful and may be fatal if swallowed.
WARNING
Never apply air pressure to the water
system with any of the valves in the closed
position. Air pressure applied to a closed
valve, faucet or low point drain could
potentially damage the seals and cause
water leaks. If you have questions, consult
with your RV dealer.
