WARNING: When draining the low water drain lines and water heater,
be sure water is not hot. Hot water from the lines can burn you.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
If you choose to fill the water lines with antifreeze, you will need an independ-
ently operated water pump with garden hose connections and a container to hold 10
gallons of nontoxic (potable) winterizing antifreeze.
• Close all faucets, drain valves and low point drains.
• Pump the antifreeze into the fresh water tank using an independently operated
water pump.
• Turn ON the system water pump and open each inside faucet and shower
valves until a small amount of antifreeze runs into the holding tanks and close
the faucets.
• Use a soft cloth to wipe out the sinks and shower to protect surfaces from
antifreeze stains.
• Flush the stool and hold the spray nozzle to allow a small amount of antifreeze
to run into the holding tank.
• Open and close the exterior hose faucet to fill the lines with antifreeze.
WARNING: You should use only nontoxic RV antifreeze that is
specifically made for potable water systems. Automotive antifreeze, if
ingested, can cause blindness, deafness or death. It is recommended that
this procedure be done by a qualified RV service technician familiar with
motorhomes, such as your authorized selling dealer.
NOTE: There are several appliances and options which use domestic
fresh water. An ice maker, water filters, water purifiers, water heater,
washer and Aqua-Hot which use domestic water should be drained and
stored in accordance with manufacturer’s recommendation for
winterization.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
When storing or using your motorhome for winter, drain the water line to the
refrigerator’s water valve line from the water valve to the ice maker, and the ice
maker itself. This will prevent water from freezing in an ice maker, its water line, or
its water valve. Ice formation in these components can result in unnecessary repair
expenses for the refrigerator owner.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
• Move the ice maker’s shut-off arm to the UP (off) position.
• Turn off the refrigerator water supply at the motorhome manual shut-off valve.
• Loosen and disconnect the inlet fitting (the water supply line) from the water
valve. Drain the water from the supply line.
