to the appliance owner’s manual for additional information or contact your Dealer or
Customer Service for assistance.
8. Make sure the “fresh water tank drain” and “low point drains” are closed. This includes
the refrigerator/washer low point drains.

setting, and connect
a hose to the City Water Inlet. Insert the other end of the
hose into a container of RV antifreeze. Turn the pump ON.
Antifreeze will be drawn into the water lines and fixtures
(pump only runs when a faucet or fixture is open).
10. Turn the water pump ON with the pump switch on the utility center panel. Antifreeze
will be drawn into the water lines when a fixture in the RV is opened.

and outside shower
(if so
equipped) until RV antifreeze begins to flow continuously.

bath sinks, shower
and outside shower
).
Toilet:
Flush the toilet several times until you see antifreeze in the bowl.
When you are finished adding RV antifreeze:
13. Turn the water pump OFF with the switch on the utility center panel.
14. Colored valves should remain in the
WINTERIZE
positions.
15. Remove hose & container from the City Water Fill inlet. Put the cap back on the City
Water Fill inlet. Leave the valves in
WINTERIZE
position.
16. Pour 1 cup of RV antifreeze into any/all drain P traps (sinks, & bathtub).
17. Wipe any RV antifreeze out of the sinks, shower (or tub), toilet, washing machine tub,
& dishwasher tub with a soft, dry cloth.
Contact your dealer if you require further assistance.
Winterize the Macerator System (if so equipped)
The macerator system can retain water in the flexible hose and dump connector attached to
the flex hose. Pour antifreeze into the dump connector and into the 1-1/2-inch flexible hose.
Raise the hose allowing the antifreeze to run back down to the macerator pump. Return the
flex hose and dump connector to the storage box.
NOTE: When set to WINTERIZE : antifreeze will not enter the
water heater or the fresh water tank. There are no dedicated water
heater bypass valves.
Water can accumulate in the flexible hose and dump connector of the macerator
system. When winterizing the RV, antifreeze must be added to the macerator
system.
