NOTICE
For units with a tankless water heater, do NOT put the water heater in by-pass mode. Instead, blow it out, and
install the antifreeze as directed for a hydronic heater.
7. Remove the drain plug at the bottom of the water heater tank on the exterior of the coach.
IMPORTANT
The 120 Volt water heater element must be turned off by flipping the switch near the water heater's drain plug.
8. Open the low point drains by turning the valve to the "open" position or by pulling up on the handle if the coach
is equipped with T-Handle valves. There should be one drain for hot and one for cold, and they are normally
located in the water compartment.
9. Connect the regulated air supply to the inlet of the hose from the hose reel (if equipped) or the city water fill
inlet. Air will flow out of the low point drains.
10. Cycle all faucets and the auto fill or tank fill valve (whichever the coach is equipped with) to all possible
positions for a minimum of 10 seconds at each position. Do not forget the hot water spigot with low point drain next
to the generator (if equipped).
11. Cycle the tank fill valve to all positions in order to purge water out of the lines and valve assembly.
IMPORTANT
On coaches equipped with Aqua View Showermi$er Fresh Water Reclamation System, cycle the valve to the
bypass position to purge the water out of the line back to the fresh water tank while pressurized air supply is
connected. Then place the valve back to normal flow mode to the shower head, and then purge the shower.
Do not leave the valve in bypass mode when running antifreeze in the line because it will allow antifreeze into
the fresh tank.
12. After blowing the water out of the system with pressurized air, disconnect the hose, and pour approximately
one cup of antifreeze into the hose. Hook the hose back up to the pressurized air, and blow the antifreeze through
the hose and hose reel to protect it.
13. Close the low point drains. This must be done prior to pumping antifreeze through the lines, or the antifreeze
will be pumped onto the ground.
14. Remove the whole house filter canister, and dump any remaining water, and reinstall.
15. Locate the winterizing valves marked "A" & "B" located in the water compartment.
16. Close valve "A" by rotating the valve clockwise. Open valve "B" by rotating the valve counter clockwise.
17. Remove the plug at the end of the clear winterizing hose.
18. Insert the hose into a jug or bucket of antifreeze.
19. Replace the empty jugs, or refill the bucket as needed to complete the entire process.
20. Turn on the water pump by activating water pump switch. Red antifreeze will start flowing through the clear
hose into the water lines.
21. Run cold water from the kitchen faucet until the red potable antifreeze is detected. Run hot water from the
kitchen faucet until the antifreeze is detected.
IMPORTANT
Make sure you run enough antifreeze through each faucet to fill each P-trap.
22. Proceed to the next faucet, and repeat process for each faucet, including the lavatory, shower sprayers, and
outside shower faucet. If equipped, repeat the process for the instant hot water, drinking water dispensers, and hot
water spigot with low point drain (next to the generator).
