CAUTION
The gray tank valve must be in the open position when operating the optional washing machine.
Sewage Tank Rinse
To aid in maintenance and cleaning, the sewage tank on your King Aire is equipped with a
“Sewage Tank Rinse”. This system uses a specially designed spray head permanently located in
the sewage tank that cleans the inside of the tank when a water supply is connected.
IMPORTANT
Always drain the sewage tank PRIOR to rinsing. NEVER rinse a sewage tank that is full. The sewage
drain MUST be open while rinsing the sewage tank, and the drain hose MUST be positioned to drain
into an approved sewage dump station. Failure to open the valve will cause the sewage tank to fill
with water, and can cause damage to your plumbing and interior.
The Sewage Tank Rinse should have its own dedicated water supply hose.
NEVER
use a hose
that will be used for drinking or other uses. Attach the hose to the external water supply, then to
the Sewage Tank Rinse connection. Attach the sewer drain hose to the outlet, and place the open
end in an approved sewer “Dump Station”. Open the sewer drain gate valve. Turn on the external
water supply to rinse the tank. Allow the water to rinse the tank for a minimum of 3 – 5 minutes
to insure it is clean.
Winterization
It is critical to winterize the plumbing in your unit any time it is going to be either stored in
temperatures below freezing, or used only on a limited basis in cold weather. Winterization is
simply the removal of all of the water from the plumbing system. It also includes adding potable
antifreeze to at least portions of the systems (P-Traps) to help prevent freeze damage.
Located in the lower right hand corner of the basement water compartment is a label identifying
the steps used to winterize the fresh water system in your King Aire. The label reads as follows:
Drain Fresh Water Tank and Hose Reel
Close “Low Point” Hot and Cold Water Valves
Close Top “A” Valve On This Panel
Open Valve “B” Below It
Insert Hose into Container of Potable Antifreeze
Turn On Water Pump
Open All Faucets
Flush Toilet
Open All Drains
