It is advisable to add an odor control chemical to the sewage holding tank. These chemicals are available
at most R.V. stores.

Rinse sewer hose thoroughly with water and stow.
NOTE: We recommend that you dump all holding tanks before traveling to avoid carrying unnecessary weight.
Using On-Site Sewer Hook-Ups
The drain hose may remain attached to the dump outlet and be routed out the bottom of the compartment
while the motor home is parked and connected to an on-site sewage hook-up.
When using a sewer hook-up, keep the dump valves closed until a tank becomes full or when preparing to
leave the site. This keeps the solids in suspension, allowing them to be carried out with the liquids when the
dump valve is opened. If the valve is left open, the liquids will drain off, leaving solids in the tank. Should
this accidentally happen, disconnect the hose, fill the tank about half full with water, and drive a few miles to
dislodge the solids. A few starts and stops will aid in the process. Then reconnect the hose and drain in the
normal manner.
Holding Tank Level Indicators
The holding tanks may be monitored on the monitor center.
Press the “Levels Test” switch to check the level in each tank.
Water Line & Tank Drain Valves
The water drain valves are used to drain water from the water tank and the water supply lines when
preparing the motor home for storage or when sanitizing the water system.
To open or close the drain valves, turn the handles to the open position to drain tanks and lines.
Drain valve locations are listed on the following pages.
WATER SYSTEM WINTERIZATION VALVE
Your coach is equipped with a manually operated water line winterization system for your convenience in
winterizing fresh water lines.
The system features a diverter valve and suction tube in-line between the tank and water pump to draw non-
toxic RV water system anti-freeze into the water lines. This feature is located near the water pump and drain
valves.
To Fill Lines with RV Water Line Antifreeze
Turn water heater by-pass valve to BY-PASS position.
Put water inlet line into antifreeze container.
Turn the water pump switch on.
Open each cold water faucet handle in the coach one at a time until antifreeze solution just begins to
flow from the faucet, and then close.
Turn water pump switch off.
Remove water inlet line from antifreeze container.
