16. Turn air off.
17. Position the City/Fresh
Water Control lever to
the City Water position.
Ensure regulator is set
to 40 PSI and turn on
air compressor.
DO
NOT
exceed 40 PSI
in the water lines and
faucets.
18. Open all interior
faucets and shower,
including outside
shower and faucet, one

supply lines.
19. Hold toilet mechanism open (flush
toilet) until the water has stopped
running.
20. Shut off the air compressor and
disconnect the air hose.
21. One gallon of FDA approved RV
antifreeze is needed to protect various
water drain lines in the motorhome.
Pour 1 pint into the kitchen drain and
1 pint into the bath shower drain.
Pour 2 pints into the bath sink drain.
This will protect the P-traps with
some of the antifreeze going into
grey tank to protect the drain valve.
Open the toilet bowl valve. Pour
another 3 pints into the toilet, letting
the antifreeze run into the black tank
to protect the valve located there.
If applicable, pour the last pint of
antifreeze into the washer/dryer drain
after the toilet bowl valve has been
closed.
POISON
Use only non-toxic FDA Approved RV
antifreeze that is specifically made
for potable water systems. DO NOT
use automobile engine antifreeze. If
ingested, automobile antifreeze can
cause blindness, deafness or death.
22. Use a soft cloth to wipe out the sinks
and shower (after the antifreeze is
poured in) to protect the surfaces
from stains.
23. Open hot water low point drain valve,
cold water low point drain valve,
secondary cold water low point drain
valve and water pump low point
drain valve. Leave open fresh water
tank drain valve and fresh water tank
fill valve. Open winterization valve.
24. When motorhome is to be used again,
install water heater drain plug. Close
hot water low point drain valve,
cold water low point drain valve,
secondary cold water low point drain
valve and water pump low point
drain valve. Close winterization valve
and fresh water tank drain valve.
Fresh water tank fill valve stays open.
25. Install new water filter. Reconnect
water lines to the water filter bowl
head.
26. Turn water heater by pass valve to
Normal Flow position.
WARNING
Ensure the water is not hot when
draining the low point water drain
lines. Hot water from the lines can
burn or injure skin.
WARNING
Clean up antifreeze spills immediately
to prevent permanent staining.
Using Non-Toxic Antifreeze
(For 41 SKQ & 41 DFT)
Approximately five to eight gallons of
FDA approved antifreeze will be required to
winterize the motorhome.
WARNING
It is recommended that a qualified
RV service technician familiar with
motorhomes, such as an authorized
dealer, perform the winterization
procedure.
POISON
Use only specifically designed, non-
toxic, FDA Approved RV antifreeze
for potable water systems. DO NOT
use automobile engine antifreeze. If
ingested, antifreeze can cause serious
injury or death.

Freeze damage is not covered under
warranty.
