PLUMBING
•
Twist the filter cartridge “counter-clockwise”
about a quarter-turn and pull it down and out
of the filter socket.
•
Install the diverter plug into the cold water/ice
maker filter socket (Model 34B only) as far as
possible and twist “clockwise” one-quarter
turn until it stops.
NOTE: The filtered water faucet/ice maker filter
on Models 36M, 40U and 42E have a
built-in bypass. No separate diverter
plug is required.
5.
Remove Full-Coach Water Filter.
Remove
the filter canister from the Full-Coach Water
Filtration System in the water service center
and discard the filter cartridge.
After emptying the canister, remount it onto
the filter assembly and continue the Blow-Out
Procedure.
6.
Open Faucets.
Turn on the Water Pump
switch and open all sink faucets and shower
head knobs. Leave open after water stops
flowing.
7.
Drain Toilet.
Press the toilet flush pedal (or
electric wall switch, if your coach is equipped
with an electric flush toilet) and hold until
water stops flowing in the toilet. Then turn
Water Pump switch off.
8.
Drain Optional Appliances.
At this time, if
your coach is equipped with an optional
refrigerator ice maker or washer/dryer, the
waterlines for these appliances must also be
drained.
(See “Winterizing Optional Appliances” at
the end of this section for further
information.)
If not, proceed to the next numbered step.
9.
Drain Water Heater.
Turn off the Water
Heater power switch before draining the water
heater tank to avoid damage to the heating
element. Drain the water heater by removing
the plug from the base of the water heater tank,
accessible from the outside of the coach.
(Requires socket and ratchet).
•
Also, open the Pressure-Temperature Relief
valve at the top right portion of the tank to
prevent air locking in the tank while draining.
