hot water faucet, allowing antifreeze solution to flow continuously, and then close each faucet. This will
require considerably more antifreeze solution, and you may choose to do this step before winterizing the cold

Waste tank drain outlet cap
Winterization pick-up tube plug
24. If your refrigerator is equipped with an ice maker, winterize it as follows:
1. Shut off the water supply valve to the ice maker.
2. Place a shallow pan under the water solenoid valve.
3. Remove the inlet fitting to the ice maker water solenoid valve. Drain the water from the supply line.
4. Remove the plastic nut and water line from the outlet side of the water solenoid valve. Drain water from the line.
5. Cycle the ice maker several times while blowing compressed air through the water solenoid valve. Be sure
all water is out of the solenoid. NOTE: Your trailer dealer can do this for you.
6. Reconnect and tighten the lines on the solenoid valve. Leave the water supply turned off until temperatures
