5.
Turn “on” the water pump to start the flow of antifreeze. Turn “on” each faucet, one at a
time, and allow pure antifreeze to run through that piping. Let about one cup drop into the
drains to protect the traps.
6.
When all the antifreeze is withdrawn from the bottle, disconnect the clear vinyl hose from
the water-pump inlet connection and reconnect the inlet line to the water pump. (This may
require more than one gallon of antifreeze).
7.
When the winterizing process is completed, turn the water pump “off” and then reconnect
the water line. Store the vinyl hose for future use.
8.
Open the water supply valve that controls flow from the pump to the tank to help prevent
freezing on that water line.
Note
: Remember, the motor home also has an exterior shower; therefore, this system must be
winterized, as well.
If the motor home is equipped an optional ice maker and/or an optional washer/dryer, the
following additional steps should be taken:
Washer/Dryer (
optional
)
1.
With the washer/dryer power in the “off” position, put ½ quart of R.V.-type antifreeze
in the drum; then close the door.
2.
Turn the Program Selector knob to “spin.” Then turn the power “on” and let the
machine go through the spin cycle for one or two minutes.
3.
Turn the power “off” and then unplug the washer/dryer or disconnect the power cord.
4.
Shut off both water faucets and then disconnect the water-inlet hoses from the faucets
and drain them. This completes the process.
Alternative Washer/Dryer Winterization through the Freshwater System
1.
If one is currently pumping antifreeze through the freshwater system, follow these steps
to winterize the washer/dryer:
2.
With the washer/dryer power “off,” turn the Wash Temperature knob to “Warm.”
3.
Turn the Program Selector knob to “Regular Wash” (located in the “Cotton Heavy
Duty” section of the knob). Then turn the power “on.”
